I thought you weren't blaming Ange? Thought we all needed to continue to spit venom at Daniel...?

Success for what? A tilt at title charge? Don’t you think he gets into front 3 for goons, citeh, dippers, barcodes, villa, etc?
Adapt isn’t a change in philosophy.
Did he start playing long ball? No
Did he suddenly give up on being a tiki taka, Cruyf disciple? No
He got better at defending long balls that’s it.
Btw we don’t struggle with long ball either, maybe Ange already adapted to that.
None of you asking for Plan b would be able to analyse the way he played in Japan or Scotland and spot the adaptations made since moving here.
I think he’s already shown enough in his first season to make it pretty obvious he’s going to score and assist a shit ton of goals.
He doesn’t start for those teams this season but next season might be a very different story.
Yes you have to fight to earn the right to play your football. No fannying around have to be committed and aggressive. What last few months have shown is the team lacks these qualities in abundance. No real passion in our play. The number of games you watch our play in the first half and think “ get on with it”. We just waste time doing things very slowly then get pinched in the bus. All of a sudden we wake up and start taking free kicks, throw ins , etc quicker.
Mourinhos philosophy lost to a team who’s manager was in prison.
You are a joke.
Reply if you want to but I’m done with you. Thought you were in good faith but clearly not even attempting to be honest.
I mean, the word easy was in quotation marks, read between the lines before you get your knickers in such a twist...
Pointing out 1 point from 12 against West Ham and Wolves as room for improvement is hardly demanding perfection.
Might be?
I don’t have a crystal ball
So what makes you so confident in Ange then?
You think confidence is the same as predicting the future?
Fair point
Mourinho's philosophy never lost 4-0 or 6-1 away against Newcastle is the point. Hardly a joke.
The reason Ange didn't need to change in Scotland is because all of his players were the 1st and 2nd best in the league. They were playing Dundee United instead and could win 9-0.
We can't rock up to Newcastle and outplay them because our players are 6th best in the league. Just like when his Celtic team tried to outplay Madrid and got battered.
I'm not Ange out, at all. We need to go through with the painful rebuild at some point, so there's no point bottling out of it now. Certainly when you consider how much there is to admire about his ideas, character etc. However, we're also all too aware of how quickly a fan base and more importantly this club can turn in terms of it's support for the manager (Justifiably in the past).
If by next Sunday evening we've been on the end of not just 4 consecutive losses, but 4 consecutive heavy beatings, the reality of living through that will be hard for a big portion of this fan base to stomach. Suddenly, the narrative becomes "Our league position is skewed by an unbelievable start" and "Well we've not really played exceptionally well, bar Villa away since before Christmas, and "the cup performances were a disgrace" etc. This utopian idea of giving him until the end of next season comewhat may will just be impossible. It'll get too loud and I don't think the club holds it's nerve.
That's just catastrophic thinking on my part for the moment though. Let's pray this next week goes better than many of us anticipate.

At the begining of the season the troll was salivating over who'd turn on Ange first........ Turns out the troll was one of the them.
One minute he's saying the only constant is Daniel so he's at fault...the next he's blaming Ange...and then he's also longing for Conte (who Daniel hired).
The guy is all over the shop.
Newcastle lose. Wonder how many sides beat us and then lose their next game? Would be a few. Mothercunters spend all their tickets on spurs.
I compared him to Sir Alex, feel free to hold me to that anytime, at any date in the future
Ange has done a great job this but for the future I rate that bournemouth coach. Producing miracles and potential manager for us in the future.
