You almost got it right but it's strictly SPURS players who are suddenly tired..not opposition players. They, miraculously can run all match.Ange tactics are really demanding on players. It's been said multiple times. It worked like a charm at the start of the season because everyone was at 100%. As the season advanced players got more fatigued, and we play worse every week.
This won't change until Ange changes his tactics to something more balanced. Zone marking on set pieces, high line. This is suicide if players are tired
That's 8 years. You have to look at what they all did in their first seasons.They all evolved their systems.
Man city today do not play the same way they did in 2016.
Exactly, Klopp with his system in place for years got rekt by a poor Atalanta side at home.Liverpool lost 3-0 at home midweek…
Arsenal got beat badly a few times under Arteta even in his 2nd season…
I'm pretty sure he meant in the coming seasons, 'more than 4th' isn't really something that's going to happen this year.Irregardless, this is not acceptable when we're going for more than 4th, according to Ange.
Liverpool rested half there first team?Exactly, Klopp with his system in place for years got rekt by a poor Atalanta side at home.
A few weeks ago we smashed our closest rivals at their ground. So was Ange just lucky then or was it good play?
Cant make any calls after 1 season.
Hard to imagine Levy explaining away another change although, in fairness, he's had plenty of practice.Agree. I don’t want change. But you know it will be the case.
Most managers have their favourites and whilst I agree PEH deserved to start, I think it’s a bit OTT for that to be a reason to ‘already be done with him’.
For all we know Ange might have said to Lange that he wants a top class new CDM in summer as a priority and is just sticking with biss for now because he knows PEH is likely off in the summer.
He did consistently comment in press conferences differently to your interpretation to be fair.I'm pretty sure he meant in the coming seasons, 'more than 4th' isn't really something that's going to happen this year.
We're embarking on an experiment to see whether you can play and achieve results like Citeh on a smaller budget. Obviously that will require greater patience but that seems to be the whole project here. Build it a little more slowly and suffer the ups and down that come without the instant financial salves they have had in the meantime.
We'll only know for sure if there's any hope after another couple of seasons and by next season we might have a better idea of the chances.
It might well end up being a total failure of course.
Exactly mate, it’s the nature of modern society, react short term to everything without looking at context and long term.Exactly, Klopp with his system in place for years got rekt by a poor Atalanta side at home.

Hate excuses like this.
Saying that in a few years we could still lose games like this, better teams than us lose all the time. If you’re upset with Ange after less than a season then it’s time to relax and be patient.Liverpool rested half there first team?
And that Villa game was the only decent performance in weeks
Im not entirely sure of what point you’re trying to make.
Whilst growth may be true, it’s also insanity to think this is sustainable.
Especially the ones lucky enough to play in Europe and make deep cup runs. We'd have to be the first team to look like shit despite playing 41 games all fucking season.You almost got it right but it's strictly SPURS players who are suddenly tired..not opposition players.

Alex Ferguson never would’ve lasted at Man.U in todays society…
I’ve seen enough positives that are worth making sure we give ange a good good amount of time and patience to properly implement his system and improve these young players and sign him a good 5-6 players he needs this summer.
That being said there is certainly an argument that he needs to tweak his tactics a bit as they are getting exposed at this level quite often now and hard to say how much of a difference better new players will make.
We beat Newcastle 4-1 at home, they beat us 4-0 at home, it is what it is.
Exactly what I thought when I saw that quote. Where's the growth in 2024, Ange? Pain is there in abundance, but I've not seen any growth.There hasn’t been any noticeable growth in three months.
