    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I agree other than Richarlison I'd personally swap him with Son. As much as I love Son I feel Richarlison offers more in our system. Doubt that would happen though. As you say though we need a big window we can't look to play Ange style of football with players not suited to the system. Teams...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Whilst I have voiced my doubts amd concerns tonight and previously. I will say seeing Ange get so angry during the game and the change in tone during his interview does restore some belief. A lot of my concerns have been about if Ange can adapt to a tougher league and up until now, he had come...

    Was poor all game again, he really isn't suited to the system now that team are deep and narrow against us. I was hoping he would terrorise their young right back on his second start, he actively chose to not go at him on a few occasions. Love the man but unless we can get ahead in a game and...

    Posted in the match thread but I think the Liverpool game highlighted a lot. They had 9 men and sat deep and narrow and compact in midfield. We barely created a sniff. Since then teams have copied that and we have created less and less. A lot was attributed to injuries and internationals and we...

    Said it another post but I really think it wad the Liverpool game. Even with 9 men we created nothing against them. Teams have restricted is so much more since then. We can't beat a man 1v1 which is essential for Ange system.

    Honestly, a lot of it is down to other teams adapting against us. Sitting deeper and more compact. We don't have players who take the game by the scruff of the neck. Too many simple, safe passes and we don't beat a man out wide often enough. A lot is down to needing better players but we have a...

    Elite finisher but needs space in behind to utilise his pace. Doesn't work as a CF as it negates his strengths in a possession heavy system that requires wide players to hug the touchline and create. Don't get me wrong I love the man but if we want to back Ange we have to get him players who...

    Too many players who lack bottle, won't try and beat a man, always play the safe pass backwards. It's refreshing to see Ange actually lose his shit as this has been happening for too long. Son one of the worst culprits.

    Called it against Newcastle as well. Son is a club legend and our captain but doesn't suit the system. I don't care how many goal involvements he has, he doesn't suit either the wide or centre forward role.

    Honestly this has been appalling, this is supposed to be the reaction after losing a NLD. Ange has every right to be fuming.

    Always pass it backwards, nobody willing to play on the front foot and play through the lines. Discipline is dreadful to, 100 percent getting someone sent off.

    Too sloppy with the ball and giving away too many needless fouls.

    Richarlison stormer incoming. He loves the aggro.

    Credit where credit is due, happy with the team selection. Let's get at them then! COYS!

    Conor Gallagher

    Very much agree with the general feeling to this news. The only way it would make any sense for me is if Ange wanted to play Bentancur at 6 long term and have Sarr and Gallagher as box to box options. Don't think that's likely the case though as both Bissouma and PEH have played 6 in front of...

    You know what, mate, on reflection, you're probably right. We have had some really poor patches and a few really bad games but it's not as much as my original post, I think Newcastle at home and Villa away we're really good performances. As always I love how positive you are and i really do...

    I get where you are coming from to be honest. Great guy but the more time he has spent here the worse we have looked. Like you say teams have adapted to how we play and other than the odd half or moment ina game we look really poor. I hope it's down to injuries and internationals and just...

    Zonal marking, it allows then to put someone on the keeper and prevent him attacking the ball whilst they overload an area where the ball is being delivered. Zonal marking doesn't work on its own anymore, teams have specialist set piece coaches androutines to counteract the structure...

    In a similar vein to Ange, I love Maddisons openess and the way he speaks. He also needs to walk the walk though, currently a passenger.

    This is huge for me. I don't want to blame officials as it looks like I'm excusing our performance today which I'm not. That was criminal, in the VAR replay you can see him with a crystal clear view. You just cant make those mistakes, tough calls are fair game I won't moan about those but he...
