Someone on here the other day was spot on. Ange is like bielsa but dont have a plan b. Bielsa took leeds down. We need to change manager.
Uhh Bielsa took Leeds up though, they were trying for years to promote, then they finished 9th in their first season in Premier League whilst playing pretty good football. When Bielsa was sacked, Leeds were 16th or so and Marsch, who was Bielsa’s successor, managed to keep them up that season.

Bielsa’s a good coach/tactical manager, probably one of the best tactical managers out there, one of his flaws is that he’s a lunatic, a bit like the Argentinian Conte if you want. He fell out with the board at a few clubs that otherwise could’ve looked interesting on his CV.
 
Gobsmacked with the amount of braindead turnovers today. Attack after attack blunted by a misplaced or poorly executed pass. Players out of position, not passing to the overlapping players, doting on the ball and being dispossessed.

Incredible to watch the basics of football executed so poorly.
 
Mourinho would've won us stuff, incl that CC final he got sacked 4 days prior...but oh no, let's shit on bad Jose for being ex Chels and asking for proper players.
Absolute bollocks

he's just lost 3-0 to a Zagreb team with a manager in prison and got smacked 3-0 by City 3 weeks prior

but okay Mourinho would have won that final

Totally agree , I know people can say oh it's on the coaching but really it isn't , these guys are professional footballers that have been playing with a round ball for years . Today was not the first game that the lazy passing and allowing themselves to be dispossessed so easily has been a constant for a while now , it's a mentality . Perhaps some are just a bit knackered from having to play so much . But many of the loose passing have lead leaving us exposed and goals .
It's like the defending , again it was just allowing a player to run past you to score , not going to rag doll Grey , he's 18 and playing out of position but there has been so many instances of this happening . And watching Udogie just give Elanga a free run at scoring in the loss to NF, just really poor . So many of the goals we have given up have been down to poor individual defending , this can be fixed with coaching .
 
Ange:

"“It’s a ridiculous amount of games we are having to play. “And I guess it’s the way and the manner in which we play our football as well, it’s very demanding on the players. We don’t have the squad yet to cope with that and that’s putting stress on, which we have had to deal with pretty much the whole way through.”"
