I think at present Levy can't sack Ange and lose even more face, come next season though if it's a similar outcome and we're losing games left right and centre and not challenging the blokes has to be sacked. There is absolutely no fucking game plan other than score more than the opposition, even Ardiles teams defended a bit.
Give it to good ol' Arry til end of the season.
But tell him he ain't allowed to pick Porro, Udogie, Dragusin, Romero, Biss, Richy, Timo and Brennan.
Re Solanke. I don’t see how Ange is expecting him to play.
The principle of a target man is that someone is close to him to play off the balls he wins. Johnson / Son and Richarldson were all too often 20 or 30 foot away from the bloke. So even if he wins the touch he then has to somehow keep the ball on him to bring his teammates into it, which against good players is a hell of an ask.
And a major issue I keep seeing is how far apart everyone is. It takes 3 + touches to draw your other team mates close enough for a pass and it can take a too wide and need too good a pass to reach someone if you play faster ( inside 3 touches ).
By stretching the pitch you create gaps, and it can be a joy, but it needs really good players and to be fair we are not really good. And everyone we play is at least as good as we are on the basics. Hence a bit of a problem.

Maddison is a fantastic technical player but a flat track bully it seems . Shame cos he could be something special but lacks the minerals .
Bergvall , Spence and Gray were decent that was it from my perspective
Solanke had no service

Yep , 64 , old twat that I am
Great stats that girl.
Might be just me but that was the first time I've watched a game this season and thought Ange has lost the players. He pretty much said it himself in his interviews. Players need a long look in that mirror. It's a NLD and none of them looked fired up for it. I've been Ange out for a few months. I can't honestly see us being relegated but don't think we'll win a trophy and at best we will probably finish 12th. An absolute shambles of a season.

there glory years are so far in the past that besting us is all they have and they show it
Apparently THEY had the actual injury crisis pre-match, and Declan Rice just mentioned how that no one likes Woolwich except their own fans...
Fucking hell, they're even trying to take our 'most hated London club' tag off us!!
In other news, I see a ceasefire has been announced in Gaza...
Maybe that'll take the heat off us for a day or so?
As I said, allow me my gripe tonight, and I will reassess my love of Porro again tomorrow.
That said, the players we do buy from bigger teams tend to do well…so you have a point ( even if you didn’t mean it
)It’s never an exact science. I accept that. And it’s far easier to be on this side being critical than being self critical on the inside.
I doubt any of those players wanted to lose tonight. And I don’t doubt they wanted to win. However, if they hadn’t shit the bed so many times against say Leicester, Palace, Ipswich.. when we were pretty much full strength then the crisis we are now in might be a lot less severe.
The delusional will keep up this nonsensical magic thinking as we slide down the table but you notice the excuses have become very fragmented. It's like even they lack the stomach to pretend this is simple injuries. The glee club Levy lackeys however have still got a job to do.
Well he's gonna have one coming up on Sunday, so he'd better fucking work summit out!
Yup that's what's going to stop us. People on a forum. It won't be our amateur manager, it wont be our tightwad chairman and pussy players it'll be fans on a forum. The only thing holding us back is we're not virtually holding hands and signing kumbaya
Next season we'll be playing Millwall at this rate!
So glad I didnt renew. Levy and boardroom who too big for club.
I'm giving him the semi final against Liverpool.
I'm not convinced another manager could do that much with this group and the injuries either.
Once again Levy failing to bolster us this window, showing zero ambition
