He needs a massive upgrade on the front 3. Son is 32 this year, time to cash in on him even though hes been decent this season.

name these "plenty of times"?
I don't know why anyone would take so literally what he will say after a loss. He may have harsher words, but not like he will lose a temper or what to show his displeasure. He's far more refine than that. But you can bet the harsher truths will be spoken behind doors to everyone in the team.
What did he say?
Saw a video where he was going nuts at his team's defending, can't remember what team it was though.
That The Fighting Cock should get closed down.

Roughly translated: "Some of the twats in our squad had taken a bung from Asian betting syndicates to throw the game".
The first half was even??
yes we missed a couple of chances but they were blitzing us for the most part.

A big concern for me is are we in another situation where we have a manager who has one plan and when that doesn't go we'll we are goosed .We are unlikely to build a squad under Levy that will have the right quality throughout the squad to get away with a one plan manager .Easier said than done I know but we have to have more flexibility with how we play with most likely a mixed bunch of players .
Cashing in is keeping him even if it’s a subs role ( personally think he is a starter next season)
We could sell him for 15m maybe how much do you think the South Korean’s spend coming to watch him and at the shop? Even if he is not in Ange’s plans (seriously doubt) it’s financially better to keep him
City away the big one. Bringing on Hojbjerg to play double pivot and pushing Lo Celso into the 10. Pretty much turned the game in our favour.
Emerson coming on for Davies against Palace away to nullify their aerial threat that had been causing us problems in the first half.
Going to a back five against Luton in the second half as they were getting a fair bit of joy between Romero and Porro. We brought Emerson on to play RCB.
Those are tactical switches I can remember off the top of my head, just because I was impressed with those most. Johnson and Hojbjerg coming on against Brentford allowed us abit more control and to be far more direct than the passive first half too. But that was more just realising the personnel we had didn't suit. Same with Palace in the home fixture for that one.

He's saying that the players dropped below standards, not sure he's gonna accept that.
Reckon the win against Villa got to their heads and the fact most of them are fucking off with their Intl teams now they obviously lost focus.
Whatever happens we need at least 2 forward players next season and one needs to be a striker.
We're only going to know if thats true if the same line up starts against Luton.
I'd be disappointed if we saw that same midfield three. And I'd be disappointed if we saw that same front three.
Hope he's communicated that to his bosses. CL qualification is not a target to meet next season
How predictable good one
Kaz Hirai
Just going to repeat what I said in the match thread, how I see it...........
Really fucking bad performance. When you're not up for it like that you deservedly get blown away.
I don't care what results have been like recently, in my opinion since Xmas there has been a marked difference in performance. All of a sudden the primary game plan - possession, dominate, force the opposition right back - has become a real struggle and the sharpness and cutting edge to our play has become very very dull. We're struggling to progress the ball, let alone create chances. Most goals recently have had to rely on counter/transition/attacking space (valid ways of scoring goals of course, but simpler to do and really not the primary game plan). The build up patterns, the runs, everything are done to death, predictable, and the opposition contain them. We have to adapt.
Then there is selection. Look we're a top PL team, these are still PL footballers, if you keep playing them of course they will have moments every game and still do good play, score goals, and get assists. But lets have some standards and be honest - the likes of Bissouma, Maddison, Bentancur, Kulusevski, and a few others have been pretty rubbish for weeks now. You can't have numerous players going out there and giving you "vast majority poor, small minority good" performances. At some point a message needs to be sent to get a reaction and set some standards.
Obviously Rome wasn't built in a day and it is the first season and there won't be linear progress, but in my opinion the performances (even in that tough spell in Nov/Dec) were of a marked difference in those first 3-4 months compared to those since Xmas/New Year. We've got to find the solutions and get back the sharpness and verve to our play and start knocking the ball about better.
