Nah, I'm just calling you out for what you are, a poster puts a perfectly reasonable post and you just reply 'embarrassing'. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
You contribute literally nothing to this football club, you admitted you don't go to any games under ENIC's ownership and they've been in charge of how many years? You're one of the biggest critics of the way the club is run, lack of money spent etc even though the money that goes into the club goes into team etc.
I'm happy supporting the club the way I do.
You'll never be happy, if we sacked Ange tomorrow I guarantee you would be on here moaning about the next manager.
Very true.Fucking Ange and his outdoor training giving them all a flu bug.
You see Villa got another hamstring yesterday, I think that’s 4 now… all because Emery is copying Ange. Fucking Ange.
I don't think Ange can be let off for the amount of injured players when it's his system that is largely responsible for that.
Foreign refs are shite tooI'm telling you, I was always dead against the Super League. No joke, I'm now 100% in favour just so I don't have to watch English refs every week.
Not the ref...the if everything was even and fair comment about 6 times.. he's a twat
Average for a centre forward, poor return for £60m plus striker. Less than 1 goal every 2 games.
We have a coach who spent last season on a “we’ll just cop it!” posture
It made many of us on this board furious. As we knew what was coming
Ange hasn’t a clue. Really
Different when C/Bs are edge of box or thereabouts and oppo are within a metre or two ready to press .
When your Midfield receiving ball are either side on or back to player then oppo always got chance of nicking it if got any nous.
Thats when you need one of or both full backs when tight in middle to offer the option
IE.you go wide and if oppo shuttle over,you then have opened up options of forward pass,back to C/B or keeper or even a dink over the top amongst others.
No C/B whoever it is wants to thread balls through a needle or play around with it on edge of their own box .
Its about keeping a clean sheet ist and foremost,winning every battle and giving it to players in team asap who make things happen,
Also the old “One Two” which i personally love but dont think is fashionable anymore.
I do understand the thinking behind it, which is to not hoof the ball upfield so the opposition can immediately launch the next attacksomehow….
Fullbacks are there to open the park up when going on attack at right time not to be defacto midfielders…
The best lesson to learn from mistakes on the pitch is to stop playing the people that repetitively make them.Hindsight is what you use to learn from your mistakes.
We don’t learn from our mistakes.
That’s the problem.
I want him not to pass the ball to a centre back when he is facing his whole goal, back to pitch, unable to see behind him. Basic football.
Liverpool at home was a good example of this too. We pulled one back against the run of play when one of their players made a mistake; a nice finish by Maddison, and it's 1-2 just before HT. So slow the game down, take the sting out of it, keep the ball for a minute or so before the whistle. Instead we tried something reckless and all of a sudden there's a break and we're 3-1 down just before HT, it's lunacy.
At this level against quality opponents it's vital you manage these moments more effectively than we've been doing.
A huge stretch?! Pal, we've lost 10 games already. Still 18 games to be played, we'll drop another 5 at the minimum, probably 7 or 8. You lose that many, you're definitely a relegation candidate...Everton (15th) lost 16 last season, Brentford (16th) lost 19, and Forest (17th) had 20 defeats.
That's Ange's true level to be honest. Most of that squad belongs down there too.
Handball . If he passed to another player after it hits his hand and they score it's all good. That's the rule these days
Make the shit up to suit whatever outcome they want each weekHandball . If he passed to another player after it hits his hand and they score it's all good. That's the rule these days
It's the actual rule, shit rule but been for a couple of seasons now.
Has to be us right? We the embarrassing happy clapping seals. We make him feel the glory he couldn't get from the club.

Sure but they could have just as easily decided Joelinton arm was behind his body and he moved his hand to the ball. Because he did.It's the actual rule, shit rule but been for a couple of seasons now.
There's more to his game than just being a goalscorer though.Average for a centre forward, poor return for £60m plus striker. Less than 1 goal every 2 games.
