We're fortunate to have picked up the points early, as it's going to be absolutely brutal now. I guess we're hoping Ange might somehow work miracles with the players outside the first 11, but even he can't polish the turds that we're stuck with.
Surely this constant thing about playing a certain way needs to stop. No other manager keeps going on about it. Fact is whatever style of football we played today certainly wasn’t all out front foot attack. We barely managed to play the ball out.
What Ange needs to do is learn to mix it up. Go long sometimes and get defenderscturning. Get FBs out wide on the overlap. Surely needs must with the shite players we have in defence. Even the midfiekd without macs looked very average. If we don’t tweak tactics a little we are in for a struggle. To be honest we haven’t dominated any game from start to finish and end up hanging on in a few. We’ve only scored more than 2 goals in a game once v Burnley. So still lots to do abd even with main 11 we haven’t looked totally convincing.
 
Another wonderfully insightful positive response from you. Well done. 🙄

Truth doesn’t have to be insightful or positive, it just has to be true. Like the fact that I live rent free in your head, there’s no insight here really but it is true all the same.

Hope that bad day is getting worse babes xxx.
 
It's the impact of losing more than losing which is the problem.

Switched-off and got done, after doing the hard work.

Not sure what happens mext but game 2 of the acid test 6 and the litmus ain't great, even allowing for mitigation.

Romero catalyst.
 
shit happens
Ange has been in charge for a total of 18games including pre-season + friendlies we’ve won 10, lost 4 and drawn 4 …..in 90minutes (Fulham) all with losing Kane in main game’s changing formation and getting a new team together hardly shabby……okay the past week hasn’t gone quite as well as it could but injuries + suspensions haven’t help and depth in squad that’s quite obvious.
 
Maybe Conté and Mourinho knew something most didn't. Going Gung ho with the defence you saw today, will never work.

Ange Ball (That everyone seems to be raving about), needs defenders who can defend and play the ball from the back. Hoofing the ball is a NoNo. Can't do that with defenders that can't play football.

Maybe wisdom lays in the words of managers that have won multiple EPL titles by building great teams of 'Their Choice'. This DNA and style bullshit is exactly that shit we are fed to make us feel better
Took Klopp 3 seasons to do anything at Liverpool. By that time every player who had been there on his arrival had gone.
probably won’t take Ange that long. Dier and Perisic off in the summer at end of contracts.
 
First thing, FUCK OFF ALL YOU CUNTS WHO HAVE BEEN WAITING IN THE WINGS TO WHINE LIKE FUCKING CHILDREN.

JUST FUCK OFF.

The ref was a c**t, but the lack of creativity up front has been horrendous all season.

Although, Johnson had a good game today until he came off.

But Kulu, Kulu every fucking game does one thing and that is it, fuck all else for the rest of the game. PEH crossed the ball for the right wing more times than Kulu.

He kills almost everything down the right, and this causes us problems.

Fuck am I pissed off right now.

COYS!! Bring on the next team.
100% on kulu. What do the coaching team analyse when they watch the game back. He messed up virtually every attack and lost the ball so many times on the counter. The front just don’t hold the ball well enough. To no we create virtually nothing from the wide forwards unless the FBs get out wide like for first goal. However they are virtually in CM in most plays. Just look at the winner we had how many players clustered in the centre circle? We need to get it wide but have no option. There is no point paying £45M for BJ and then passing him the ball on the half way line with his back to goal and playing on the left. What is he meant to do. He never got a run at the fB. Whereas kulu had plenty of the ball but did nothing with it.
 
Not going to depress myself any more by reading through this thread but mitigating circumstances or not we were fucking awful - Davies was quality but few others turned up today - painful way to lose but we deserved nothing out of todays game - porro was ok I guess and all the subs showed a bit of energy can’t understand why son wasn’t subbed 75 minutes or so he was out in his feet at least Veliz would have posed a few problems up top
Depressing few days ahead in ange we trust!
 
Being critical of today’s poor performance is being a “fair weather cunt” ?

It’s not binary ya melt.

Of course, certain criticisms are valid.......

Chatting bollocks (such as you blaming Romero for injuries) is something completely different.

.........."Ya Melt"

Erm……. Beyond VDV and Romero we knew we had little suitable for a high line beyond Sanchez and we got rid of him. You do realise we need a squad not just a first 11. Players get injured, they get sent off that’s life. Going for a high line under Dier is always a huge risk, it’s not his fault, it’s just his attributes.

Don't do it then !!
