I don’t think it’s an all of a sudden thing, it’s been back tracking since really Wolves away, I’ve not seen anything of substance since then to suggest Ange has an answer. The players will always always always fold and hide, it’s the coaching teams job to not give them hiding space, but they appear to have totally lost the plot.

It’s obvious to Stevie Wonder that Son wide and Richarlson works better than Son central and some other plodder wide.

It’s obvious Royle is not a player suited to playing on the shoulder of Salah.

But obvious is not the way Ange works. In fairness he does that unobvious well, because I have no idea what the guy is actually trying to do.

Did Royal get a clean sweep of culpability in all 4 goals?

3 certainly, a shithouse of a performance
 
We looked so much more dangerous with Richarlison on the pitch, I just can't fathom why he didn't start. Ange hasn't said he's not fully fit.

I just can't see why anything isn't changing. The problems - defence is a shambles, attack is toothless - are so clear

It almost doesn’t even really matter as long as we get someone who can finish a bit and provide consistent aerial threat- that’s what strikers need to do when your team isn’t good enough to boss possession and create fancy chances.

Was Conte not standing up to Levy when he called out the club? Was that a miracle in your mind? Why do you think if ange is out of his depth it means Levy is great? Surely both are crap.

Yes Conté had his say but he only had his say right at the end of his stint. He got shipped off and "The New Rebuild bought over Fans once again.

I don't think Ange is out if his depth. I believe he is out of his depth if he doesn't get what he needs. That will show. Levy cannot hide. It is great that Levy cannot blame "Anti-Football" (what was used against Jose and Conté) again. He cannot put forward the "Spurs DNA" argument. And he cannot put forward the "No Money" card (We are the richest club in London).

Ange has perfectly cornered Levy. I Love it:ange-lol:

Not having a go at you specifically, but i'm not having the word "heroic" at all. I'm sick and tired of these "comebacks". What has changed since Conte with these players? We had a whole season of "comeback" goals last season, second half FC. Nothing has fucking changed, so much so that we were 3 nil down in the exact same fixture last season and did this heroic BS comeback crap.

They are the definition of COWARDS, those 2 goals prove it. "They don't like to play under pressure, they don't like to play under stress". If you have to wait for the score-line to not matter anymore and your opposition to switch off then you are fucking cowards. They don't want to go toe-to-toe at nil-nil, they want the expectation to win off of them before they take "risk" in playing actual football. It played out EXACTLY the same at Anfield last season. Then they get to bait and switch the fanbase by making it look as though they have fight in them and a never quit attitude. Fans will get to say, oh if only Richarlison & Maddison started, oh if only Skipp started over Royal. Absolute bollocks, they did this shit all of last season and have reverted to type after the first 10 games of this season. Glad you called them out as "still losers" but i'd go a step further. Those 2 goals have pissed me off even more than the potential 4-0.

Yeah I was being ironic with the "Heroic Losers'"

It's always the same ..... And remarkably similar to being an England Supporter.

We never really just lose...... We lose and then score a couple of conciliatory goals so people actually think that we "gave it a go" when what actually happens is that the opposition take their foot off the gas and let us back in.

Hence the 'still just losers' at the end of the day.

Sometimes a couple of goals when we're 4-0 down passes me off even more because why the hell weren't they breaking their necks and going for it when we were still in the game ....it's as if they coast and coast and get hammered....then when they're 3 or 4 down, they're suddenly worried about their own pride.

Fuck them.....they should be giving their all from kick off ...not just a 15 minute spell when all is lost

1st goal Royal tries to keep the line with Mickey which is completely busted by either Porro/Romero one of whom is two yards deeper.

2nd goal was Porro and our midfield completely missing as Robertson tapped in.

3rd goal Porro loses the ball softly to Robertson. Royal is initially one out with Salah and wins the contest but no one helps and Bentancur doesn't even shout as Elliot comes in to take the ball.

4th goal Bentancur doesn't even bother to tackle Elliot.

Royal is a second string player being played out of position. He's an easy scapegoat for the mob but the real responsibility for all of those goals is on our 1st team players and manager.
