I think Kulu stayed on as he misses the next game so no point resting him ?

There is only a handful of people moaning though , the majority can see what Ange is building and realise the future is bright!
Rome wasn’t built in a day
It was after Kulusevski got done in robbing Dunk (?), looked like he needed replacing but recovered (should have rolled the dice anyway, given Kulus poor showing, but he has performances in Anges trust bank).
Son will say what he always does that the performance was unacceptable! What I don’t get is why wait till the end of the game to come up with that analysis. Surely they can see that during the first half how many clear cut chances they had. They could have done something at HT to say we cannot play like that rather than come out and say we will do better v bournmouth. But no we plod on the same way and don’t change a thing. Are the players going at HT thinking this isn’t right? Are bollocking kulu for being thick as two short planks? Stevie wonder woukd have been able to tell them about their lack of performance in the first half.
Should have given some minutes to Phillips at least. Ange cannot say on the o e hand this is who we are we’ll attack with even 5 players and then bottle it not giving the youngsters a chance in case we get walloped. His whole philosophy is based around the potential of being carved open time and time again. It shouldn’t matter if it’s royal or philipps. Now for Sunday he may bring back Dier as I doubt he would start Phillips after not giving him any mins yday. Also if he plays them in the cup then I’ll be fuming.
Indeed we moved the ball about 10 miles faster and the players actually started to move as well!
See what decent crosses can do? Our forwards are incapable of putting in decent crosses or getting to byline. Only when destiny started running with the ball we looked more threatening. We need him to stay wide when in the final third rather than stand next to the CF. He has pace and technique to get past players and put crosses in yet we seem to be like Dracula.
100%!
Have we played any game this season where we have been in control and dominant for most of the match?
No strategy works if you’re shipping in 4 goals.
How much have our forwards cost, nearly £150M for kulu, richi and bj? Luck to get 15 goals in total out of them 3 never mind assists. Really is a poor return for players who really don’t have great technical skill except say kulu but he is so slow.
It was weird as fuck watching last night. Even at 4-0 it didn't feel like a drubbing. 2 penalties and an absolute worldy of a goal. 3 of their 4 goals were basically avoidable and out of nowhere. Only their first goal was from a well worked move by them.
It's not like we looked clueless at the other end, we had plenty of good chances. A foot offside, the post at either end, a few times where a pass wasn't quite right etc. IMO, we played pretty well from the middle forward, but did some daft shit at the back, like giving away 2 needless penalties and leaving a man (small child) unmarked.
Across various social media platforms, there are plenty of fans losing their minds out us playing out from the back and playing a high line still, despite our defensive frailties.
Ah right. A round about way of saying "I told you so" to people who wanted to enjoy the way their football team aim to play football.
Got you.
Well that should have been using the money for Johnson to buy eze or olise. But Ange wanted Johnson who cannot beat a man for pace ( his only real attribute) , can skill a man, doesn’t press, doesn’t track back check 3rd goal , so lazy, crossing is generally meh and is never gonna get the goals or assists. His hold up play is no existent as his too weak. General one touch two touch passing is shit and never really makes any great movement.
No. Ange out.
If it's a joke, ain't funny. If serious, it's an impossible task for any manager to succeed while Levy around.
Garbage alround
It's impossible with current set up playing high line and 90mins attacking football.
If that's aimed at me, I'm not from fucking Croydon but I have shaved my balls before if that makes me Brazillian?
As for excuses and refs, there were none for yesterday. Brighton have lower paid players and plenty of key injuries themselves. I've also said that the officiating we got at the end of last season in our favour against Brighton was fucking moody last season. That dunk yellow was even more moody and the boring, predictable foul vs yellow count in the majority of our games is getting very tired.
Those aren't excuses for yesterday because we scored on the play that Dunk should have seen red and still created enough chances after that to rescue a draw. I didn't see what happened before that but it sounds like it was a shit performance from everyone except Vicario.
