Apparently he said more than 1 player wasn’t fully fit but had to play.
The Sarr one I don’t get. Pick Reguillon and play Gray in fucking midfield.

Exactly, playing an injured player, the latest thick Dundee clanger.
The guy is so far out of his depth. Needs to retire
Every single football manager ever has played unfit players.
Every single last one.
If Spence was fit then Sarr would not have started.
With a proper coaching set up that could still be a valuable skill set.
The right midfield composition, coupled with the right direction in training...
No chance with this bunch though.
Ange literally admitting he played an unfit player when he had an academy player on the bench. As others have said, could also have played Reguilon so Gray could play CM.
Ange determined to break these players bodies.

This is true.
It depends on the type of injury.
Still, not giving Ange the pass on this one, Reguillon he said was ok to play.
If Sarr was not fully fit then play Reguilon and Gray in midfield or play an academy kid and prove the point. You can't come out excusing Sarr when you have picked him.
He's years off being ready, he's not on the same trajectory as Moore.
It's becoming like the players will just try to be 'unfit' or 'injured' because that seems to be the easiest excuse, unfortunately, for Ange too.
Yet for players like Richy who 'insists' on continuing, he's not given the opportunity, wrecking the dressing room harmony further.
Ange is making far too many mistakes IMHO.
I dunno, I think he’d have loved to have Richy out there longer but really couldn’t go any longer.
Also believe Sarr wasn’t fully fit. I think people saying the players are feigning injury are doing too much. And I’m a conspiracy theorist.
He'll probably have to retire soon. He will get fired. And he will have a hell of a time to get a new job. At least outside of Scotland, Japan or Australia. He should have made enough money to be able to retire anyway (two years left on his contract)
Not feigning injury per se, but you know, setting an expectation first, like perhaps some player, in this case Sarr but not saying he's faking it, stating having some fatigue or knocks etc and not being 100% but will still play if manager calls upon him etc. If we won, great effort from the boys, performing above their capability. If we lost, yeah, they were never 100%, can't blame them.
If its a happy camp and players love the enviroment and playing in it you are mad to get back. You play through knocks and 'soreness' . Everything now is 4 weeks, 5 weeks etc
Isn’t that what Richy was trying to do but they held him back 2 weeks to try and make sure.
Aren’t they holding Romero and VDV back? Sarr and a couple others played Injured last night…
I really doubt that’s a happy camp for PL games. Ange will say the players aren’t prioritizing Europa and Cups but it’s human nature. I know myself after Newcastle and Joelinton getting away with what he does every week, part of me would switch off for that bullshit.
Its the same camp. Plus we are in serious trouble. Prioritise cups. At what cost
Of course it’s the same camp but they are humans, their mood before a PL game will probably be different to a Cup or Europa game,
Tbh I think a lot of players in a lot of clubs will be looking at the officiating in the PL and just thinking it’s a chore to finish out the season from here. Especially if you have to play Newcastle and get hacked to bits by Joelinton but get a yellow card the first time you touch anyone.
I Get ye but thats very flimsy excuse. Apart from league cup our cup performances havent exactly set the world alight
It’s not an excuse. They shouldn’t see it that way. I’m just saying it’s human nature mate.
We’ve only played Tamworth in the FA Cup so far. We don’t have any form in the cups except the LC
Exactly this.
If Ange could not see this was the obvious and simple solution, then he should not be managing this team.
Partly off topic here, but recent Richy treatment is one of the instances where I can understand and praise Ange decisions.
For example not playing him until the end in Hoffenheim game, not starting vs Everton and also taking him off vs Leicester when he did.
Sure, we'd like him to play full 90, but we cannot risk a new injury. Have to think bit longer term than just one game!
