Bizarre team selection. Feels like he was running scared. Needs to explain himself for that post match. That game was entirely winnable.

He won’t. He will look at the floor and mention it’s all about alkaline next Thursday.Bizarre team selection. Feels like he was running scared. Needs to explain himself for that post match. That game was entirely winnable.
136 people in the Europa thread voted Winners... although admittedly this site is full of loons

Momentum, confidence, mentality. You cant turn form off and on like a tap.
Apart from many of our fans who aren’t in their right minds who think he will win the Europa League.
He is ultimately now going to be judged on Europa league, as nice as a result would have been tonight its Europa or bust.
Bottom line, under Big Ange, nearly every time we go out against one of the better sides, we lose.Shocking. We also saw similar last season as well after the first 10. Think the only win of any substance after that was Villa away.

Its Ange, he has no idea what he is doing.Can someone explain why Spence, Kulu and Son were on the bench? Fucking stupid decisions
Hard to say to be honest.
We have the individual quality vis a vis the rest of the competition in the Europa League to go and win it, in spite of the coaching.
Nobody ever won anything in spite of the coaching.
Even a shite manager like Ten Hag beat City in the cup final with a clear and effective plan.

if they had played and we lost 1-0 what would be the focus for the blame?
We lost to a marginally better team. Could have got a point, could have lost by more.
It was a result that just reflected the reality of where this team is atm, regardless of what team we picked.
At least now we can see those 3 changed the game when they came in and we have something to be confident about when we start them against AZ.
This was not the game to rotate...next game is on March 6th..... the hell did we rotate for?!?!?I do completely get the need for rotation, especially coming out of our injury crisis.
But football is about confidence as well, Spence MOTM for our last three or four games, Son his best game in a long long time vs Ipswich and Kulu having played well. All benched when the team start to get on a good run of form against a side which were there for the taking tonight.
All with a week to recover, it’s completely different when we are playing 2/3 times a week but terrible decision to rest all three![]()
I would argue early Mourinho was the exception. What he did with Porto was unbelievable.Sameway nobody has ever won anything because of coaching.
Football players win football matches.
