No, like many others you don't understand football ir what it takes to be winners.

You ain't alone and I take zero comfort from being emphatically right.

We are lucky Villa play a proper side tomorrow.

What would you know about what it takes to be a winner. You support spurs remember
 
Last season we had a dedicated set pieces coach and were one of the best teams in the league at defending set pieces.

This season Ange had this to say about set piece coaching.


When asked whether he would consider hiring a specialist to work on offensive and defensive set-pieces, the Australian said “I’ve never had a specific set-piece coach. I’ve always had someone who’s responsible for that.

“I always think it’s better if that’s somebody who’s a part of the coaching staff because then that’s an extension of how we play our football. I don’t separate set pieces from everything else we do, in terms of the team we want to be. It all hopefully links in.

“Here we’ve split the roles between Mile [Jedinak] and Ryan Mason in terms of attacking and defensive set-pieces and they put a lot of work into it with the analysis staff. I’m sure every club does. Some have gone down the specialised route which I understand."


Tells you everything really doesn't it? Failure on set pieces this season is a direct result of the managers opinion on set pieces.

Same manager who said today that previous results against Newcastle don't matter when it comes to tactical analysis.

It's all a bit "run abaat a bit" isn't it?
 
But we don't really attack, we just pass the ball from side to side in front of the oppo box and eventually get muscled off it.
if we are consistent;ly playing like that every match -- then we are trained to play like that??
i,e, that is the play System
 
NO DOUBT, ANGIE HAS BEEN CHECKEDMATED TODAY. Hope he learns from this. There has to be a plan B, passing and 80% possession means absolutely nothing without an end product. You need the players to emulate MC with this tactic. Oh well UPWARDS AND ONWARDS WE MARCH ON. COYS.
But weve seen it this season already stiil no change
 
We have just been humped again. Absolutely humped. This is not a serious Football team and being 4th with games to play is not a serious metric of quality or success. This season is no different to last, it’s just rebranded.
Yes not for me I'm afraid, same old problems, different players and management.
I don't get Ange ball at all, doesn't harm anyone, pass it around with no end product.
Sick to death, of this underperforming club, nothing ever changes, especially the performance levels.

Nope, he believes in his system and will continue
 
The performance have been pathetic. Ange will be responsible for it. But those calling him out for change of manager is fucking pathetic. These people are part of the reason this club is so rotten and not given the chance of rebuild after so many years. Get a grip.
There is not one fan who is “pathetic” or responsible for this. It’s the owners / board and the coaching staff who are responsible for this. It’s a top to bottom issue. Failure is acceptable. There is nothing that happens of any longevity when these kak shows occur.

Ange is not a serious football manager and we are not a serious football club. And that seems just fine at the top levels.
