There is quite clearly a very clear plan, the issue is some of our players are not world class so don’t produce quality top top performances every week therefore we don’t win and dominate every game like fans are seemingly demanding.Another strange watch.
A 3/4 of a season through and I still can’t see a clear plan.
Very open at the back, still haven’t sorted out winning corners at both ends of the pitch and not really creating good scoring opportunities.
All of that with a full strength group of starters although I’m not sure I know our best starting XI and their positions.
I simply do not believe you think this.Another strange watch.

Agreed. I’m a bit concerned Ange seems to picking players based on his preferences not how they are actually playing. If Southgate had brought on Kulu instead of GLC he would have got pelters and rightly soDon't think the squad generally is performing to the level of quality it has at the moment.
Really with the squad we have, 4th should be easier than it's proving to be.
No point in doing crosses when we don't play with a striker.We're average enough and it's tiresome watching us pass around in front of a deep defence instead of crossing and shooting far more often to create some jeopardy on the opposition goal. Watching Romero walking in possession is tiresome. Seeing Maddison run deep to get possession, only to hand it off again after moving 5 yards with the ball is pointless. Is it tactical that we don't cross and shoot more?
really? bollocks like those criticising kulu who had 15 mins vs madders who has stunk up every game since he returned from injury but is getting picked cos he's Ange's player of choice? What's the point of a bench or wanting depth if they get 5 mins to change the game? Why hasn't he lit a rocket up timo's ass for his lazy play since the assist? Or made a change? I think Ange is seeing huge stars and realising he can't drop players at will - this is not japan, scotland or Oz. Our tactics, general attitude during many games and application to WIN have regressed?You do post some utter bollocks at times
Still can’t believe Maddison didn’t get a free kick for getting charged into. Ref literally 3 yards away from it as well. absolutely baffling
I think Sonny should bide his time and keep running at them in those final moments. Old Sonny would have probably ran all the way to the edge of their box and had a crack
Totally agree.Subs completely killed our momentum. I had wanted Gio to start but I understood why Ange picked Maddison. I wasn’t particularly calling for his sub when he was pulled off but equally considering how well Gio played on sat I wanted to see what he could bring to the table. Bringing on Kulu for Maddison was a very poor move. I get Ange really likes his energy and wants him to be part of his team but this wasn’t the time to try it out considering his off form Kulu has been of late. The subs killed us. Ether keep on Maddison or bring on Gio.
I don't mind him dropping deep if his intention is to quickly turn and play a longer ball in behind ala Erikson to Dele or Kane. That should be our change up with Werner and Johnson on the wings and Son through the middle. When it's all getting a bit tight and slow getting their back four running back should be our plan B with the pace we have up top.Maddison’s form is a little concerning. I also thought he played too deep. He was ineffective today
I wonder how much of this is instructions as yea tonight we were pretty shot shy.Not very often Son hesitates to shoot but he did it all game tonight. Usually he would just got for it. All a bit strange really.
Having all that possession and doing fuck all with it needs addressing.
