To any here that have had enough of Aussie Ange followers, I have some good news.
As a member of the Order of Australia for keeping Australian order I can inform you there was a meeting and vote last night.
At the Great Table of Knowledge in the Great Hall of AUstralian Champions and fucking top blokes some things were decided. One thing of interest was the Ange situation.
Flash Daz gave a report on the process and how it was proceeding (he likes the football where they kick the ball) who knew. Good enough for us, he ain't called flash because he's a shit kicker.
Anyhow a vote was taken, and the final directive given.
In the greatest of all Australian traditions of loving a winner it was decided Ange is Greek and not our problem. So no more with the Aussie shit.
Can I interest you in a young bloke tearing the place apart with the under 17 Sydney girls team? Great ideas and I imagine only a step or two away from taking charge of Juventus. Heads up you'll want to move fast.

Do you think any other prem lge club would employ him . Back to Japan I think.
Has Ange improved any player in this current squad... maybe Vicario due to the work out he gets every game 
But nearly every player is either a shell of the player he was at his former club i.e Maddison or he's completely destroyed the players confidence with his chaotic football i.e Porro. The one exception is probably Spence but that's probably more the player waking up than Ange triggering untapped talent.
I can't think of one player that has even levelled out since Ange arrived.

He probably was 10 when he came up with it. The problem is that he hasn't been able to evolve it since then.
VdV hasn't really dipped in ability/quality. But with him the obvious issue is his fitness that has been shattered.Has Ange improved any player in this current squad... maybe Vicario due to the work out he gets every game

Maybe if all our guys played whilst carrying a satchel things might improve
Ange Ball clearly works ; in leagues with far lesser players and without teams being managed / coached by people who have the vaguest idea about what they’re paid a load of money to actually do for a living .
Apart from those minor qualifications ; it’s irresistible ( and exceptionally entertaining for all lucky enough to be able to witness it ) . The man needs to find his level ; and then he’ll be bouncing .
PS ; He’s not found it with us IMO .

First goal doesn’t happen if we have a fast marauding DM ?I've always said a coach deserves two full seasons as long as he isn't going to get us relegated so you can get a good idea of what he wants. He's getting that and it's plain to see that he isn't really adapting much of his methods to fit the league and more importantly the players he has to work his system. And this will get him sacked..rightfully
That first goal yesterday probably doesn't happen if we had a high energy DM with quite a bit of pace who reads danger well. You'd expect said player to see porro and anticipate the potential for a Bournemouth counter down to the vast amount of space down the right.
Once the ball is given up he'd either utilize his VDV level pace to race to the right to hold up Kerkez, or he'd drop into a back 3 allowing Romero to take up the RB position to stop the cross and Danso to better spread to the left.
It's risky relying on one player to stop you from getting done on counters, something that worked well last season off the back of VDV but you've got to have the players for it, and the depth to cover injury.
Bissouma, and Bentancur aren't natural DMs, don't really read situations, have zero pace, especially Rodri
so we are wide open when the fullbacks push up leaving the back two isolated 3 v2 or 4 v 2 every game
same goes from playing out the back, if they had players of the technical level to do it, sweet we'd have little problems sucking teams in then springing out with superior numbers but we dont spend the kinda money to have those types so it becomes a shambles
same old story for the wide forwards, system seems to demand players on the level of peak son to create the space to create the cross for the opposite wide man and solanke to attack the ball.
we have none of these things and with the league well versed on how we play it's all just collapsing into mush.
and he can't or wont adapt
some interesting high risk ideals but can't see it working with kids and mid table buys in this league
Are you having a laugh, the only way the first goal doesn’t happen with the way we are set up is if the DM is 50 foot tall and 150 feet wide, as that is the space he has to cover when our full backs go up and tge ball gets turned over

The most striking thing about all of this is, a half decent manager would have this team playing much better, under a structured, coached and better balanced set up.
D) A massive fan of the game musical statues and cannot believe there is a man who can stand on the same spot for over 45 minutes. On top of that he also under jinx during every game where he cannot speak while the game is going on.
First goal came from Porro giving the ball away and even before he gave the ball away he had 2 easier through balls to play in behind and to his left.
Then after that it’s an incredible cross from a position use was manageable really and Spence fell asleep back post thinking Danso had it.
Very good finish as well. Not easy first time.
Tbh Bournemouth could try that exact cross and finish 20 more times and not score again.
We literally scored a fluke and a penalty, what are we doing here?
Sarr clearly meant to score with that cross
Game different when you don’t watch live.
Bournemouth should have been out of sight from out mistakes first half but even then we got in behind Kerkez 4/5 times and fucked it up.
Second half Sarr should score and Son hits the post at 0-1 Both decent chances considering who was shooting. Odobert got into dangerous situations so many times off the RW, Bergvall broke lines dribbling and found him in space 1v1 3 times before he was moved to #6.
The first goal we scored was a fluke but Bournemouth weren’t unlucky to concede twice… for a team that was mixing up a high press and deep block into counter attack, they were very very easy to play through as well.
Just get vibe Ange will be sacked as will Lange. Paratici will come back and appoint inzaghi. Iraola is preferred. Ange has been found out. Too cavalier and naive his tactics for premier league. Hes made average managers look good this season.
One of the constant recurring comments by ex players and even dear old Ali Gold is the space between Porro and Romero now I haven't seen the goals but I am presuming from comments on here that once again there must have been a massive space again if Porro was upfield.
Spence didn't wake up, or change in any way. He looks like he does because he was ignored by and in turn ignored the great big Fat Greek fraud. The longer he's infected by Postnoclue the worse he'll get. He's already got him playing centermidfeild like Porro with a Super highway of vacated space outside him. It's one of the reasons I've wanted him sacked Udogie looks nothing like the player we brought, the regression is horrendous.Has Ange improved any player in this current squad... maybe Vicario due to the work out he gets every game
