    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Dropping Bissouma was the right call, but Maddison also needs some time on the bench. Completely agree with this apart from the fact we don't need a "specialist" set piece coach. We just need the ones that are there currently to rewatch the last 10-15 games, realise it isn't working and try...

    Probably need to go down the rugby route of a referee making a decision, then VAR is asked afterwards. Needs to be way more open as well, why don't they play the audio on what is going on? It just leaves it open to being seen as subjective and secretive. It could be good, but has been poorly...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    He's not called out every week, everyone (including myself) can see that he needs to put his stamp on the squad, but maybe what is slightly worrying is that he's also showing that he's potentially as tactically inflexible as those guys, yet they where jumped on from the start. I think Ange has...

    Surely just changing to man marking at set pieces isn't deviating from your tactical stand point, but at least gives our defenders the opportunity to stop them having 2/3 on 1 situations to try and defend. If Richy is fit, stick him at the front post and let the rest mark man to man. At least...

    He's either too stubborn or just naive. If this was Jose or Conte for example conceding the same chances week in week out they would be getting hell, but because we play slightly more positive football I feel Ange is being a given the benefit of the doubt. Tactically we haven't learnt on the...

    I get the whole sticking to his principles and playing the way Ange wants to play, but the set pieces and long balls have been a constant problem and we don't seem to have an answer which is slightly worrying. Even the best managers in the game change tactics or have the ability/know how to...

    At least we showed some fight in the second half. Arsenal were shite, but Michael Oliver came through in the end for them.

    I hate to sub a substitute, but gio for sarr might be for the best. Could do with another forward thinking midfielder on.

    He deserves that. Best player on the pitch bar kulu for us.

    I don't understand how we have a 3 man midfield, yet they constantly have someone free in the middle of the pitch.

    We've actually played well, but the tactics and corners still leaving us massively exposed. Carbon copy of a long balls and free headers have been happening week in week out and we do nothing about it. I'm not against Ange, nor do I want him out, but his lack of tactical awareness is slightly...

    Arteta complains about not being able to rest players and late fitness tests.... Leaves Saka on when they're 5-0 up... What a prick. Lol

    Brighton must be laughing into their bank account. Cucarella and Caicedo are absolutely brutal.

    I'm not sure if it's been intentional, or if the players are trying to adapt on the pitch, but the way we are using the inverted wingbacks has changed massively from the start of the season. Earlier in the season udogie/porro where inverting and the CMs where pushing up into the box, or able...

    It's just so naive tactically from Ange, and if not stubbornness just downright idiotic to not look to rectify things. Every single game this season we get cut open by a long ball over the top, and yet we never adjust the line, or the way we set up to have more players around defensively...

    Bissouma, Madison and Johnson need hooked at half time or a massive rocket up the arse.

    I love gio as a player, but it makes sense as to why he's not being used if he's not gonna be here next season. It's a tough system to learn, and there's no point wasting the minutes on players Ange thinks aren't gonna be here next season. Gutting though, as always liked him as a player...

    Sin-bin trial plan recommended for professional games

    Like at the start of this year there was a big push on refs to yellow card players for dissent or crowding round them. That has dropped off as quickly as it came - the refs have absolutely no consistency, and bringing in a new law, will just make there even less consistency as it'll be one...
