He might have been the right man to take it. Maybe he has done well in training when it comes to pens or in general in his career?
Hah, he took it too far! Though they still wouldn't let them wear hats with corks on
A defender who can’t defend
This ^^
Absolutely 100% - why would a new manager in first cup game.make so many changes.
I never claimed he did--I was asking a question. Are you being purposely obtuse? Oh, you know what, I don't care. Get on my block list.I dare you to say to Ange's face that he took order from Levy on team selection
I thought Skipp looked confused about what he’s meant to do, Perisic was shit apart from his assist and Solomon was invisible.
Fair enough guess there’s nothing to discuss about the team selection or the performance then. Let’s close the thread down. It happens.
Oh FFS - 2 league cups in 34 years for a club that when I was a a kid used to win things regularly is what is lousy. I thought that much was obvious but perhaps not in your case.
Make that fucking gamble in the league then, and not when we're at risk of getting knocked out of one of two trophies we can actually win!Guessed this would happen after a first loss.
Ange out is it now?
Quite worrying how some of you lot can go from 100 to 0 so quickly.
Ange barely had any pre season games to really test out the squad, yes, the SQUAD. He needed to use this game to test out more squad players.
Was it a huge gamble? Yes, but we cannot play the first 11 - 12 players for the whole season.
It's a gamble that didn't pay off, get over it, we move on.
And for the record, i'm quite proud of Sanchez for putting his name forward and stepping up to take a pen. Atleast he had the bollocks to do it, especially after all the shit he's had to take from some of you lot.
Yes, it's a shitty result but I'm not talking about this one game, I'm more referencing the hype that's been building over the past few games. We've all been swept up by the hype and this may well be the cold shower of reality we needed.
