He won’t walk though. He knows fine rightly that he’s been found out and he won’t get a sniff at another big club again. He’s waiting for Danny to write him a cheque and he will fuck off back to the A League where he belongs

Very defensive in the presser but the interviewer had him on the ropes as regards his attitude to our fans but bottled it not mentioning him cupping his ears after Sarrs goal!

Get rid by tomorrow ffs!
 
Looking at our remaining matches, we could well end up losing more PL games than we win or draw combined. With Scouse, Villa, Forest, Wolves, Pikey's and Brighton still to play from eight remaining, we will do well not to be in that situation.
 
Does it really fuckin matter who gets brought on and taken off at this point? A team of Messis and Ronaldos in their prime could NOT make Ange-ball work now that it’s been found out.

They could if they were playing against Patrick-Falkirk or East Mortonshire Academicals ; I really believe that .

Ange is a gifted and brilliant footballing visionary obvs ; it’s just that the fuc=ing opposition is always spoiling things for him. Give the man a break , for goodness sake .
 
There is very little patterns of play to break down the opposition. Reminds me of AVB but more risk taking. Coaching isn’t of the standard clearly.
It's funny because he's actually coached us so strictly on our structure and build up that we have become 100% predictable and every opposition manager knows exactly how to box us in and force turnovers every game.

We go into blind alleys down the wings to our wingers multiple times every game hoping for the first time flick inside, if it doesn't work then they have the ball going straight at our defence.

We let our full backs pick up the ball in a position where everybody in front of them is man marked because the opposition know exactly where they are looking next and what directions our midfield and forwards are going to move into.

We never progress the ball through the middle because our central midfielders are always 2v1 against us, so they're just there as a distraction more or less, so the opposition know the ball is going out wide, because it does every time.

Literally the only way we can progress the ball in a way that isn't 100% predictable, is for Romero to dawdle on it long enough to find a line-breaking pass to an advanced midfielder who is roaming.

But yeah, instead of seeing that this single-use every time tactic is completely overused and dead, we continue to try and play it. Figuratively bashing our head against the brick wall over and over until everybody has a mad fucking headache.
 
-Strange VAR rant from Ange- not going to be looked at positively by the league
-"You can try and force me into a corner" - cringey reaction
-attacking the interviewer? cringe "people like you"
-"I get it Pat, you're trying really hard."

His composure was terrible for this interview- he looked severely mentally rattled. Hopefully Levy will just can him and get a new coach for the EL games. He can't let Ange lead the club publicly like that.
 
We had a huge break, injuries dealt with, all conditions were right for some energy, some fight, making chances, if you're accepting we'll concede chances, because that's the 'Ange Way', there is no excuse for how fucking flat that performance was.

We have a defence made out of single ply toilet tissue and an attack with all the threat of a knife made out of a sponge.

Chelsea were poor, but they created more than us and truly didn't look troubled, yes the ref was shit, yes some of the yellows seemed stupidly harsh, but none of that excuses that 'nothing' performance.

Ange has to go, honestly, he should have gone when we lost to Ipswich at home.
That’s when I wanted him gone.

I had to drive back with my father in law (ex Cambridge United chairman..) to our hometown Ipswich, giving me a horrid time.. he said that Ange was a terrible appointment and we’d only get worse.

I believed his insight and lost faith
