and his braindead disagrees, name a worse combo in your Notifications panel.Alright...Nooooo how can people be so negative, they hurt my feelings
Improvement in mentality, ability to dominate games and score a lot of goals, some exciting play. 5th place, possibility of 4th, despite a terrible season last year and loss of Kane. Galvanised the fan base to some extent.
A lot of our good play has been inconsistent but the signs are there. If we were consistently excellent we'd be winning the league, which no one would expect of us at this stage
I promise you this. Post something not stupid or boring and I might even give you an agree.
I’ve been waiting a long fucking time for you to do so though
What’s that? Winning from losing position? Winning in the last 15 minutes? Bullshit like that?
What games did we dominate, if you don’t mind me asking? Name one game this year where we’ve looked in complete control from start to end.
Yes, I predicted we’d end 7th or 8th, can’t remember. 5th (or 4th) place would be rightly considered fine for the first season, although Poch also finished 5th in his first season and I don’t think it was regarded as some achievement. And he had a worse team than now.
But let’s say I agree with you here.
Yes? What are the signs? That we don’t sit back anymore and try to play some attacking football? That we have possession? We invert wingbacks?
Not really, I personally don’t expect consistency, just signs of solid tactical system patterns as the season went on. Instead the opposite happened.
I just think we have very different opinions on things. Maybe you can understand that? And that’s fine, I don’t post to make others happy or agree with me (would not say the same about you though). But I don’t see why you have to spam disagrees with every post, you can just move on and that’s it, like 90% of this forum users do.I promise you this. Post something not stupid or boring and I might even give you an agree.

I post my opinions so be careful what you accuse me of.
Leave it there and I’ll let it lie.
Or what?
only real reason most people are on Ange because they’re ENIC out over everything. Feels like people are scared that he could do something(and he will)and give them some breathing space.
I get it. I dislike ENIC too, really don’t like them or Levy. but separate the two. The players are clearly impressed with him. He’s talking up challenging next year. You can quite clearly tell he’s got the hunger to win things, not just pick up his pay check and pay lip service to managing us. It’s been up and down but it was always going to be.

amd his ridiculous tactics
You come on here for likes?
That's a good, well reasoned post that at least shows respect to different opinions being aired instead of the usual vitriol spewed by some in response to reasonable criticism.
The only thing I'd question is your assumption that ENIC out supporters are scared he might achieve something. I think it's more a case of being concerned he gets so much slack that he won't achieve anything because the pressure isn't their to actually succeed. Which plays perfectly into the hands of our unambitious, greedy ownership.
A fanbase happy to accept a few more years of mediocrity in the name of rebuild and patience
With so many fans saying "just give me good football and I'm happy" you can surely understand why we have these misgivings

Cheers. John I do agree with lots of your posts on ENIC, but not here. He’s not going to get any slack. That’s quite clear imo. Our fans get on players and managers back at the drop of a hat, way to quickly.
He’s going to put pressure on himself, the players and the owners to deliver. He doesn’t just want to play good football hes said that multiple times. It’s about the good football bringing success.
Well, here's hoping you're right, mate.
We know what's happened in the past when a manager has put pressure on the owners...., but, like I say, here's to hoping this time will be different.
So who is that on then?
If onlys as usual yes he missed the two chances but our system or lack enabled them to score 3 relatively easy goals without having to do much.
Mostly agree keep saying it Romero kills our attacking momentum. With that front 3 teams would be scared of the pace but they know that if we don’t get the ball quick enough to them then they are easy to defend. I’m still wondering how Ange thought Johnson would be a good fit for a team that wants to keep the ball. Surely all the scouting on him would have shown he plays better in a counter attacking role. Same with Werner. Son is different in that he was already here and his goal scoring is better than the rest put together. To play the way we do we need the dippers front 3 of mane, Bobby F and salah. All work hard, keep the ball and have great technical ability. I don’t see a lot of those attributes in our front 3.
His had all season with mostly new players ie not under conte abd his had the most amount of time to train and coach them compared to all the other teams around us. If that isn’t enough to get his ideas a cross then I don’t know what is. It’s not just the system but the attitude and intensity in our play is often so casual almost like they don’t give a shit. How many games we come out looking half asleep and fall behind. We conceded first in numerous games including all the relegation fodder. That is not a good look.
