The death rattles of Angeball are upon us. I pointed out months ago that in any pro sport if the risk reward ratio doesn't add up, you're ultimately a goner. Mathematics are set and its truth is unbreakable.

The attack has turned to mush because nobody is fully committing when they have advantage. All are so shellshocked by what happens when it doesn't work. It costs goals.

This means that not only are players becoming more cautious when caution is called for. Players are not going for it when it is in their advantage to go for it.

Just play basic counter attack football to seasons end. Simple and should bring back a talented players decision making process pretty quickly.

Those decision making and anticipation processes are shot to shit at this point.
 
Ange is now on about there being too many games. In isolation this statement is probably true. However in his case it as an excuse of why his high intensity guff is failing. And I'm here to say that's not the main reason.

And that's not the reason other coaches have picked more holes in it than swiss cheese.

At any a large brain box wasn't needed to foresee all of these problems. They should have been addressed before the start of this season. For some unexplained crazy arse reason they were doubled down on.

ange ball is gone?

saw numerous times sonny took the ball with pace down the left by line- thought he was gonna cross but instead he stopped and brought it back - . . . waste of time/space
 
Reason he is doing this is that he's second guessing himself. That's a bad place for anyone to be.

Somebody teaches you not hold your heads up. Get punched in the head enough, you to will second guess.

Sure this guy that taught you may accept the blame. You however get to deal with the brain damage.

Mad that your players get exhausted when you just instruct them to chase the ball like moths to a light.

I’ve seen more tactical nuance in a pub car park kick about
 
He's here until the end of the season, like it or not.

Levy has done the risk assessment of what looks worse, finishing a season embarrassingly bad vs finishing a 3rd season from 5? Without a manager.

On the bright side, only 8 games left. Soon be May and we'll soon get our 4th, 5th and 6th reminders to renew our *uber expensive* season tickets.

Lose to Soton and he has to be sacked. That’s a 50/50 IMO
 
Just checked remaining league fixtures, IMO only 1 game is winnable on Sunday v Saints. We are lucky there’s Ipswich around. This is going to be club’s worst PL record.
