We'd still have conceded shitty goals due to shitty tactics.
Forest would still have dropped deep.
If Kane did what the idiot coach told him to do, he'd have been stood around waiting for a cut back all match.

Ange is shit.
We are shit because Ange is shit.
If you came here because of Ange, then hopefully you leave because of Ange too.

I didn't come here because of Ange but that does not make me automatically Ange Out.
Speaking of Kane (and prime Son) I think that some of these shots could have a happier ending.

I still think that our results are not (only) the manager's fault.

Stats don't win games.
People have been trying to argue Ange's corner with stats since last season. And yet we just keep losing game after game after game.
All the possession in the world means nothing if we're wide open and easy to score against. Which we are. In every single game. The stat you didn't include is the chances we concede.

In term of XGa, only the bottom 3 have a worse record than us. So despite us having one of the highest possession counts and some other fluff at the front, we are easy to create against because we absolutely disregard defending. No successful team is successful without a solid defence to build on.

The fans get dumber by the day. They did exactly the bare minimum they need to beat us. Take the points and go home. I long for this level of functional competence. In fact the more I think about it, the more I think these kind of people have kind of got us where we are. It's the aesthetic of 'entertainment ' that's seeped into modern football. Football teams need to be able to do more than one thing, be free flowing and one touch but also dig in and battle to get points. It's not a product that has no variance. That was never football.

Didn’t the goons do the same? They knew we are toothless when it comes to breaking down a low block. It’s not rocket science.

(Alisdair Gold asking the question)
Q: Were you tempted to make your subs earlier as the game was turning?

A: Yeah I could have. But... all these things... are totally irrelevant to me. Substitutions and all those kind of things. If you're not competitive, it doesn't matter what you do, you're not going to get rewards, you don't deserve to win. We didn't deserve on our second-half performance, irrespective of subs or anything else, to get something out of the game. But I think if you do get something out of the game, you're falsely rewarded and I don't want to get falsely rewarded.

That should be framed somewhere as the most bile piece of BS talk ever.
