Does anyone have Ange quotes from post game?

I hope he was angry, not accepting.

He said " these fucking Geordie bastards can do one"

 

[Spaniel]

What's the fucking point. I'm off to the supermarket.

See if you can find a cut price striker....

More shit if they ain’t doing what you asked call the cunts out if that isn’t the case it’s on you .

 

[Spaniel]

Let’s drop son

It's a shame but I think he's now past his sell by date...unfortunate but true....

The players lack guts, it’s not that complicated. Every single game that passes validates Conte’s farewell rant. The first 10 games there was no pressure. Nobody knew what to expect from us, we lost Harry, it was a free hit. It was just nice to play on the front foot. We went in front in virtually every game and everyone was smiling.

Now that the top 4 is within our reach there is actual pressure and our weak players are being crushed by it. During that spell when VDV, Romero, Son, Maddison etc were all missing we played with far more intensity that we are now. We didn’t win many games but the players were sweating blood, especially Emerson and Davies at CB. Those two played away at City and they worked a hell of a lot harder than the players who started today.

If you have good players it really isn’t that hard to win a match. Be aggressive with and without the ball. That’s pretty much it. Newcastle did it and we didn’t. They had about 12 players missing and they were still more up for it than us.

Players are so weak mentally, Conte nailed it, they can't play under pressure.

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Well that was a huge wake-up call.
I had to get up at 3.30 am for that but at least i don’t have to drive to/from Newcastle.

Fuck that i would fly up there. Drove twice to sunderland before and needed work on my car after. Tbh ive never been to newcastle.

The hard part of the first part is we have a boat load of new players. Wener, Johnson, Maddison, VDV, Udogie, Vic all started and weren't even here under Conte. Much less Porro who only played some, Bissouma who never played. That's almost the entire team.

I think we just need more time for our players to mature and to continue and be aggressive with bringing in top players and creating competition. We are similar to Woolwich of 2 years ago imo. Good squad and pretty good style but prone to bad performances, getting overwhelmed (including by us), etc. Since they surprisingly jumped into CL competition 2 years ago they've aggressively added Jesus, Zinchenko, Havertz, Rice, Trossard, Jorginho that I can think of off the top of my head and they've really stepped up in just their consistency and level of performances. Last year just off the title and they signed Rice and Havertz to push on. This is what we need to do. This has always been where we struggled under Levy.

Should be starting two in three games or less and coming off the bench at times. He’s 32 soon. Everyone has an end, but as is always the case he will be run into the ground in the absence of true squad depth.

And that’s what’s sticks in the craw when we go down with a limp insipid performance like that.
You mentioned about these players buckling under pressure which they are,but we can go back years under previous managers failing us in cup semi finals or top 4.

Unfortunately its been too commonplace these performances,other teams wanting it more and then hearing our players rolling out the same bollocks about we ‘have to be better’ after the match blah blah.

So how do we break this cycle? We’re going round in circles every season.

The ref made it clear very early on which side he was going to favour when Son was fouled and nothing happened to the Newcastle player and McCoist saying that it was because it was too early

Spot on. It was a clear yellow. So sick of them refs taking it upon themselves to rewrite the rulebook.

"Ooh bad challenge & worthy of a booking, but yeah I'm gonna let him off cause it's so early in the game".

"Clear high kick and we'd give it if it was in the middle of the park, but as it's in the box, best not to."

A foul is a foul. A yellow is a yellow. Schar should've been booked. Burns should've been booked...twice...and therefore sent off, also giving us a pen and a possible way back in the game. Mads could've walked too...clear foul on Gordon then constant moaning.

 

[John Thomas]

Such BS. After Kane left everyone would have taken 4th or 5th without any reservation.

Bollocks post.

A record of W10 .D4 .L8 in our last 22 league games with no domestic cup runs or European competition is absolutely appalling, however you try and dress it up.

And it was absolute brazen negligence for the club to sell a player of Kanes quality without having a top level replacement lined up.

 

[Richard Arlison]

So where do you think the money came when we bought those players before we sold Kane?

Even if we hadn't sold him do you not think their upgrading the team to Ange's liking anyway?

Your arguments are weird man.

Ok

Officials in the prem have been disgusting for us since the Liverpool game

He wasn’t really on the BBC interview. Said Newcastle were good, we just have to take it, etc. Absolute rubbish in other words.

Edit - he was marginally better in the Spurs interview posted above.

 

[Hampshire Spur]

I would organise a friendly or two for next weekend behind closed doors. Smash some hopeless team to beef up confidence then play a team similar to arsenals style.

 

[koko619]

Maddison said after the game that they didn’t play with courage and played safety first football. Hard to believe this is the same team that went for the jugular when down to 9 men against Chelsea.

Same old shit, the pressure of the run in arrives and they crap themselves.

well at least gonna give him props 4 saying it

my favorite keeper of whole time ,2ghter with (ike shorunmu) said it best
when he said : "we need balls we need balls"

 

[Bucket]

It's a shame but I think he's now past his sell by date...unfortunate but true....

He’s a top guy, but he’s never struck me as captaincy material.

 

[Aussie Spur]

Can't believe I'm saying this but weve really really missed Richy the past few games! Will help us against teams playing low block against us and encourages us to play forward more because of his heading ability

 

[Richard Arlison]

More shit if they ain’t doing what you asked call the cunts out if that isn’t the case it’s on you .

What would that achieve?

 

[Herclueless]

Just landed back from holiday, was gonna avoid the score and watch the full 90 when I get home but was immediately notified of the score by my phone, quite glad about that really...

I take it we displayed our usual attacking prowess and defensive threat then???
