I still think the best summing up of it all is that yesterday, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, a man who, let’s face it, is very much still an amateur manager gaining experience in that side of the game, actually told an interviewer BEFORE the game exactly what his tactics are.

He told Ange before players were on the pitch how he was going to beat him. I bet he couldn’t believe his luck when they got their goals in the first ten mins of the second half, he’d thought he’d have to wait till 70-80mins.

This follows, was it Declan Rice who in a post match interview said they weren’t bothered as they knew exactly how we were going to play, how to beat us and that if things didn’t go our way we wouldn’t stop doing the same things.

Other teams are literally telling our manager how they are going to beat him, and he doesn’t have anything about him to know how to stop it.

What on earth are we doing here.
Wow! If you have a link to Ruud's interview that'd be interesting.
 
Udogie is the starting LB, Spence is the second back up RB. How many minutes was he expected to get?

You know he was out of the club last season and the season before under Conte?

Give it a rest mate, you are making a tit of yourself.

I can give Ange stick for the decision not to take VDV off earlier vs Chelsea. I can give him stick for starting Sarr instead of Reguillon vs Leicester. I can give him stick for reacting to fans when he should suck it up..,

But Spence? That’s irrational nonsense you’ve talked yourself into and now got married to. Ange is the first manager since Steve Cooper at Forest to get Spence into a meaningful role. They clearly have an understanding that is enabling him to show who he can be as a player. It’s one of Ange’s very few success stories so far this season.

Hahahahha, no I am not.
You look a complete imbecile while calling out facts and then when faced with facts just mumble some subjective garbage.
Constantly, this is not the first instance. But I get it - you want to defend situation that in real world is undefendable cause there is not single factual metric supporting you.

It is A BIG fuckup by Ange. Udogie always should have been roatated and Spence 100% deserved more playing time based on ManU and Coventry perfomances. Even at this point now, with U-Dog being off for a while he still has played 1816 minutes and came up with zero goals and 1 assist. Spence has 846 minutes, 1 goal and 2 assists. Spence does take players on and actually sprints on the wing instead of overcrowding middle areas.

Udogie injury was absolutely logical outcome considering everything. But hey - I get it. Ange has done all perfectly well and cannot do wrong because... some reasons. Whatever they are. Keep going.
 
I've never been as sure of something in my life

This club is going to be relegated .

If this doesn't set off some proper protests against our charlatan owners then nothing will

Please let relegation be the catalyst for a proper fan revolt and the first step to forcing these wankers to sell up and fuck off out of our great club
 
Winning stuff in those leagues is no more impressive than league 2.
Fact.

Fans would have been frothing at the fucking mouth if we hired Dave, who has spent 28 fucking years muddling around league 2, the conference and won a few paint trophies.
But they seemed enamored with Ange from Celtic. Cetlic. A club in one of the worst leagues in the world of football. Celtic. A team who completely and utterly own that league.
And fans thought this would work.

If he was 40 and had worked his way from Aus to Japan to Scotland, there might have been hope. But the fact he'd been around for fucking DECADES and nobody took a chance until Celtic should have told you everything you needed to know.
You’re backing him then

Udogie got injured when he played a game he was due to rest after Spence’s second yellow against Forest meant he was suspended,

More utter bollox from you.

Give it up mate, it’s just getting worse on every post.

yes, that's what I was saying (sort of) to the other chappie. Don't begrudge people working hard and being rewarded but why did our club have to choose him? why oh why 😢Personally couldn't believe it myself. Look at the coaching staff. It is going to be some rebuild.
 
How long is levy prepared to wait. I think he's waiting to see whats happens in the cup games. If we go out the fa and league Cup he will pull the trigger.

He'll have no choice if that happens

I am actually pretty convinced we will go down as well but the thing that may save us is how bad the clubs below us are.

Also, VDV and Romero may be able to scrape us a few draws, at least enough for us to stay up.

I think it’s going to be very tight though.

Udogie did not get injured as a result of one game. He played every game possible and pretty much every minute of every game. Overplayed and exchausted, suffered a soft-tissue injury. Like 10+ other players this season.

But ofc, every single one of them is just a coincidence.
You truly are a genius. Just try not to pull a muscle, trying to squeeze out an excuse for next Ange fuckup. Cause he cannot do a thing wrong. All just unfortunate coincidences for what you have excuse pre-made (Y) :D
 
On what basis does levy think we can go to anfield and get a draw or win with this squad . Not only that but then go to Villa and win . And even if we do , how does that change our league form , is he happy to win the caraboa cup and get relegated ?? Nothing makes any sense .

Problem is now have we left it too late? Who the hell comes in. Is any manager going to jump ship from their club in February, seems unlikely so its Terzic or a caretaker and no manger names jumping out although i guess literally anyone is an improvement. They really fucked up not chaging in November, anyone that wasnt blinkered could see what was happening from March onwards. We're trapped in a spiral now.
