Ange cupping his ear is not, a response regarding cheering a good goal.
It was pure passive aggressive behaviour as he has been called into question.
He mentioned earlier in the week that, many fans had lost belief, clearly he is very easily rattled.
He knows he has fucked it and is gone.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
 
0? you haven't played or seen our worst - cos if you think that was lol you're in for a long time with Spurs.

We got a disallowed goal due to studs up but Sarr put it in the net didn't matter but if that isn't fight or intensity as we saw in the 15minutes of the game then sure mate you're blind...
First of all youre new. Dont tell me me im in for a long time when im in it since 86.

A foul and a disallowed hit and hope strike isnt fight and intensity. You clearly never played competitive sport if you thought last night was a team fully at it. Get a grip
 
The biggest shame is that I agreed on what Ange said about our goal being disallowed for "Clear and Obvious foul" that took 6 minutes to decide...

Ange would have a lot more fans on his side this morning if the OTHER 99% of his footballing philosophy was as reasonable...

Sadly it's not, and I don't really care what he has to say any more...

We fell out of love with eachother pre-Man City last season...
He didn't get US, and we didn't understand HIM!

But I do agree with him on that one point last night... Which ironically should e earned us ONE POINT last night!
 
Rewatching the Enzo goal, and I think it could have been easily avoided.

Udogie was wrong sided, but was aware he also had a player behind him. However, as the ball came in, was never going to win it, but for sure he could have put Enzo off by at least challenging for the ball.

Vicario really should have come out and claimed that ball. We know if there is any contact, the ref will always award the foul on the keeper. It was the perfect height for him and just a few yards away.

Romero and VDV did not communicate when Enzo made his run. Very clever movement; which left Udogie covering 3 players at the back. As the ball comes in, Romero is marking nobody and looking to be the first man the block the near post.

VDV ignores Enzo's move and doubles up on Jackson, leaving Enzo completely free. There was no time for Son to tuck in and help.

Ultimately, all down to communication between the players. Nobody called out Enzo's run, and that really should have fell on VDV on Udogie to deal with.
That goal has been conceded by us multiple times this season. Its never been corrected by our wonderful coaching team. At any level you would correct this. Not with us at premier league level
 
The issue missing us is Mentality...

I keep saying this whether it's from within or the coach, you got to have it!
True... our mentality has been weak for a long time. Hence why we have the Spursy and Dr Tottenham tags.
Unfortunately it's inbred into our DNA now, we've been through so many managers, and so many players, but that weak underbelly is still there.

If you have played football you will know Udogie is the last person to blame for this goal. It sits firmly on Micky but because us fans like him and dislike Udogie we will pick the easy target. Micky needs to trust Romero has Jackson covered. There was no reason to cover Jackson and every reason to be aware of the later arriving midfielder. You also say Vicario should have come out but the reality is that he would have to make that decision before the ball is crossed and the presence of Jackson closer to the near post than the middle of our goal means he can't take that decision for fear of conceding at the near post. Sorry to say this but for all Mickys attributes, his awareness and aerial ability are lacking.

Former defender agrees with you.

That was one of the easiest VAR decisions to make. The fact it took that long wasn't because it was debatable, it was because the ref and the VAR team are, as always, utterly fucking useless.
Using the length of time it took to decide isn't an indicator as to how right or wrong it was. Sarr kicked him, it was a foul. One that benefitted Sarr in coming away with the ball, and led directly to the goal.
 
There absolutely has to be a big manager already signed for the summer. No way Levy and his cronies don’t realise just how far we have fallen.
Ipswich at home should have been the day it happened - we could have salvaged the season with a decent man at the helm from then, it’s just been defeat after defeat and crap displays not even registering many shots in this ‘attacking system’.
Like everyone has said and know for over a year we are the easiest side in the division to play against and offer no real threat full squad or not.
Cannot wait for the release of summer hols - the 18 days before this game was actual bliss for me.
Shameful what’s going g on at our club lads.

23/24
The alarm bells should have been ringing loudly during the 1-4 home less, when common sense went out of the window. The subsequent games against Wolves and West Ham were also dreadful.
4-0 down to Brighton by the end of December.
3-0 tonking by Fulham
4-0 tonking by Newcastle
3-0 down AT HOME to Arse before late goals cover up the enormity of the beating
No show at the bridge
4-0 down to Liverpool before the obligatory late goals to cover up the thrashing.

He shouldn't have been hired in the first place.
He showed all the signs of being out of his depth early on.
He hasn't ever shown any signs of being able to improve our fortunes.

Ipswich was a complete nothing - he should have gone long before that.
 
The most obvious result of the season, and yet there were numerous posters with these so-called gut feelings, with this might sneak a win bo!!ocks.

Buy some perspective Rennies FFS.

Southampton will be a win or chaos.

Even easier Spence clears the ball instead of fucking about then giving it to them on the edge of our box.

Even though it only took 3 minutes (not the hyberbolic 6 Ange said), and apparently was decided was a foul after less than 30 seconds, so was clear and obvious. What took the time was 2 and a half minutes was deciding whether Sarr should receive yellow or Red card
