Luckily for us LFC we’re playing in a different casino .

You can only beat who’s in front of you in knock-out football; we did that. And won a European trophy fir the first time in 41 years .

What exactly is your problem accepting that fact ?
I don't have a problem with that. I was just replying to a poster who reckons Postecoglou put all his eggs in the Europa League basket, when in fact he also had a go at winning the Carabao Cup, so his statement wasn't correct.
 
If Ange were to stay I struggle to see how the next EPL season would be any different. We’d still see the same poor training, the same lack of tactical awareness and presumably the same win/loss ratios. And we won’t win the Champions League.
So thanks Ange, but your time here is done.

99.999 % of his eggs in the Europa
League basket and a bit of that fluff you occasionally find stuck onto an egg put into the basket marked “ The Carabao Cup “ .

He knew what he was doing; and it worked out for him aka US .

What’s not to like ? ( Even if it’s with the benefit of hindsight) .

It’s revisionist to put it kindly.

Ange did not leave the season for dead until the semi final round of Europa.

He was playing whomever was available in the league and getting the same poor results with all of them.

He’s just ramping up crowds and trying to lobby to keep a job he can’t keep on his own merits
 
I am afraid we won't be ruthless enough to sack him even when - in my humble opinion - we still should do it. Same pattern was applied already in the past when it comes to not getting rid of some players (took to long with Dele, Eriksen, Lloris, Davies should not be there as well etc). We are too nice in this area compared to our opponents.
100%. we are soft when it comes to being ruthless and cutting people. this aint the business where being soft works out.

masons got a job he has no credentials for ffs, the club can be a complete charity case.

lets hope paratici does come back and hes made his mind up anyway.
 
He will leave on mutual terms. It will be carefully worded. "The club have today made the decision to mutually part ways with Ange Postecoglu. He has our utmost thanks for delivering one of the most special nights in our history, however the board feel that the league campaign didn't come close to meeting expectations and the club has decided a change is needed to give us the best possible chance of success in the coming season"
hes positioned himself so that the club cant come out with that now.

really, what hes tried doing today should rile levy up, hes trying to have him over here.

levy needs to appoint a DOF and then say its the DOF's decision. theres no 'mutual agreement' with postecoglou desperately trying to gaslight simpletons. hes desperate to stay, he knows its back to pub football after this. not as many cameras and mics in his face then....
 
Good

He’d be nuts to go about things in the same way ; we all know that .

But given that he seems to have realised that’s there’s more than one way to play football AND from
what I can work out ; the players are with him ; why not give him a
chance ?

I know it sounds crazy; but life often is TBF .
 
Even 1ppg will be enough to keep us up next season 😁
If Ange delivers more silverware in the shape of a league, FA cup or champions league hell even the super cup and good runs in the league and other cup competitions ill take it over your negativity all day long
Ange should stay because his 1 PPG is enough to keep us up? What kind of talk is this? Now of all times we should have aspirations, we are not the Spam, satisfied if we don’t go down

He was fully committed to the Carabao Cup, the two teams that played in that final are harder to beat than the team that we played in the Europa League final. We got knocked out of the Carabao Cup because the opposition were tougher.

It's nothing to do with not liking this or that, or using hindsight, it's just what it is.

Anyway I've made my point and see no value in continuing this conversation.

Fair enough; hope you enjoyed today.
 
for the fact that we would be playing championship football if there wasnt such a gap created by the prem and championship.

winning europa is nice, but it doesnt make up for losing 22 games in a single league season! thats beyond disgraceful.
We could've been relegated and still won the Europa league it doesnt change the fact that we would be still be in the champions league next season
Not bad for a championship league club?
The championship is probably 1 of the toughest and most competitive leagues in Europe
I see a championship league trophy in our sights and right now i couldnt give a fuck what silverware it is
We want more

yea, you have no standards.
 
Dude, there are now FOUR such figures at the club in an official or unofficial capacity.
Seems like part of the problem to me.

Levy can’t be held responsible but if you are he, you ought to have one employee reporting directly to you who is ultimately responsible for all the footballing decisions. That one person implements his plan, makes personnel decisions, and either succeeds or pays with his job. No ambiguity about who is responsible or who makes final decisions.

The clubs that succeed at the highest levels don’t run on vibes and sentimentality. They are results driven, ruthlessly when required. And rarely is ownership down in the day to day operations.

Accountability is cultural and success can’t be sustained without it
 
Yeah only Ange could have achieved the miracle of beating AZ, Frankfurt or Bodo. Only him. Deluded fucking waffle.

You were wrong. We finished 17th. This manager is fucking shite and has been for a year and a half, one cup run doesn’t change shit and anyone on here with a functioning brain knows it. Only the thick as shit posters who I wouldn’t piss on if they were on fire continue to argue otherwise.
Frankfurt and United have knocked Barcelona out of this fucking competition. We ourselves have been knocked out by the likes of Dinamo Zagreb and Gent. Fucking enjoy it for once that he got us over the line. Shit tactician? Absolutely. But we haven't beaten teams in the Champions League, and we haven't lost against shit sides in the EL because of tactics, we've lost them because of the mentality, and this guy, with all the fucking downsides and shortcomings that he has, instilled a winning mentality into this group of players, and I can't thank him enough for that.

hey?? for winning the europa? winning mentality is built of the back of winning games consistently. do you think the wigan players had a winning mentality cos they won the FA cup? weve lost 21 games and probably going to be 22 in the league on sunday..weve won 11...we do not have a winning mentality all of a sudden for beating a shit united side thanks to an own goal from a tubby bastard.

the win gives the players a huge confidence boost yes, but winning mentality? no chance.
