These people aren't well
There appears to be a belief that results will all of a sudden turn from losses into wins once two centre halfs and a goalkeeper returns to the fold.
We pretty much had a starting midfield and forward line on the pitch at some stage today.
I didn't see a likely draw coming along, let alone a win.
Before the injuries, our form was really not that much better.
I was replying to you saying the last 15 months have been dog shit, when clearly they haven’tlol Southampton sacked their manager after we pumped them and since aren’t so open.
The City, Villa and West Ham games were great. Of course they were. But everyone is beating City and West Ham, we do tend to beat teams that are silly enough to take us on. You champion three standout victories and I’ll look at the ten defeats, multiple draws and one dimensional tactics.
Solanke is fine.Yea, question is who wanted him.
BJ and Solanke for 115M. Of course we're in trouble. Funny how people are blaming Son, Madders and Radu for our poor season.
Completely disagree.Solwanke had a good season at his last club but he certainly wasn’t worth what we payed for him. Another bad buy by Levy.
Five years ago city away in CL quarter final and ajax away were no pushovers. Now ipswich are no pushovers. Serious decline in standards,
Has to called by the ref - VAR can't intervene.It’s hand ball. Fucking nonsense around it. That goal is never given against another top 6 team (not that we are a top 6 team anymore of course).
Newcastle didn't have to play well, they just faced a poor team and structure, they could of had more if they wanted.Yeah exactly. Our backline actually did reasonably well, albeit under very little pressure second half.
Our midfield and attacking players were completely unable to break Newcastle down. Created very little of any note.
I don’t think Newcastle played well at all. I don’t think they had to.
You don't have to play well to beat Spurs. Nearly all managers have employed some very basic counters to Ange ball and had success.Yeah exactly. Our backline actually did reasonably well, albeit under very little pressure second half.

On a positive note, we should just have enough to beat Tamworth maybe on penalties.You don't have to play well to beat Spurs. Nearly all managers have employed some very basic counters to Ange ball and had success.
Ange appears to think that losing half our games will lead to success at some point.We definitely put up a good fight in the second half. But it felt like it was way more just on effort than any sort of tactical shift or game management.
I still believe that we need a tactical/managerial change to avoid getting sucked into the relegation scrap. And I am unsure if Ange can provide that.
He's great but unfortunately has an emerging habit of not taking the chances that will win or save a game for us.Completely disagree.
He has now scored or assisted against
City
Liverpool
Chelsea
Utd
Newcastle
Villa
26 Games
11 goals
5 assists
Really isn't a bad return. He is the least of our problems.
Have lost so much respect for him the stuff he comes out with.Ange appears to think that losing half our games will lead to success at some point.
Ange didn't state whether this success would be in the Premier League or Championship.
Was watching this for half an hour - three players over there clogging up the space and Johnson not doing anything but get in the way - drove me nuts.Can someone now explain to me what was the logic of keeping Johnson and taking off Bergvall? You could see on the right side Porro/Kulu/Johnson ALL stuck on the right side and all seemed not knowing what they are supposed to do or what the other 2 were there for?
If you are going to tel Kulu to go on the right, shouldn't keeping Bergvall on instead of Johnson given you more control in the middle? Especially the way he was performing.
UNBELIEVABLE
Pepe Mel when he was at Betis said something about Mourinho's Madrid, that "if you let them have the ball, they beat themselves".You don't have to play well to beat Spurs. Nearly all managers have employed some very basic counters to Ange ball and had success.
