It was understandable in the transfer window to maybe try and mask how desperate we were for cover (as if that wasn't obvious enough anyway) but it doesn't make much sense otherwise. There's no mileage at all in doing it for mind games purposes and that's not something Ange gives a shit about...
This is it for me. Surely if a player is fit enough to start playing, it's better to play regular shorter stints to build his fitness up... unless there's something wrong. Playing half of a match and then vanishing for a week and counting afterwards isn't normal. Ange's language has changed as...
I think he'll at least get a chance to get some results together when we've got these injured players back but if we fall out of the FA Cup, lose a couple on the bounce in the league and then fall out of the Europa League I don't see any salvation for him. If we can progress a bit in the Europa...
Because we only scored 3 because we let them score 6. Damned if you do and damned if you don't against a team at their level with like 1 missing player.
Unless we go on an absolutely dreadful run in the league, I think we've tacitly committed to him for the season, come what may.
The problem with the ball of Ange is that he uses the good offensive football to mask all the frailties and if you're not doing the good offensive football, you just...
They'd do better than us because they have a coach who is complete enough to be able to tailor a gameplan to suit who he has available. And they don't press brainlessly no matter the game state. Yes injuries have fucked us but Ange has compounded it.
I've seen people saying some of the players weren't playing for him tonight. I think they're all trying their best, they just don't know wtf they're supposed to be doing half of the time, like there are massive holes all over "the plan" and they're supposed to just join the dots up themselves on...
