Deadline day and a transfer window is the perfect case study for this. Just read the ITK thread to see how many worlds are ending..
I feel like I'm missing something because I keep reading that after selling Kane we simply have to sign a bunch of expensive players, which sort of ignores that Kane only happened specifically *because* of underperforming expensive players. Like, we might have to use more of our young players? Good! That's exactly what I want!

Also Ange's way of spreading Kane's goals amongst the group seems to be working wonders at the moment. We were never signing someone to directly replace Kane, because quite frankly nobody can. We just had to find a way of replicating the output.

Remember this last week before you post your next "hot take".

Things change very quickly in football, let's keep things positive people. Ange deserves at least that already.

Was sad to see he got no service once he came on. If he had the chances Sonny did it might be different. But that's the difference between a clinical confident finisher and one who is in his own head at the moment.

yeah, completely agree. Richy seems to be more worried about performing, than just playing on instinct at the moment. i didnt watch the game but Richy on previous games is def suffering with loss of confidence

This is what spreading the kane goals looked like at Celtic. We only need to spread the goals if the 9 isn't scoring. Now Son is in and finding his mojo he can hopefully replace a lot of the Kane goals and we can stop using that strap line to make excuses for how bad richarlison has been through the middle.

Less backbone than our players.
I sincerely don't know how many of our fans can regurgitate the same misery every game like they're surprised when you know damn well they'll repeat the same misery again the next game.

Yeah, we're in a bad patch. You'd think we'd have some experience of that. But no, apparently every player's shite, the team is shite, they're all losers, sack 'em all. One of the things I really appreciated about the start of the Ange reign was the togetherness, and I knew it'd take a hit and I know we're in a bad place, but fuck me how can our fans talk about our players lacking mentality when they're this hysterical after every defeat?

It’s so pathetic. Just really weak mentality, and it’s always the same people who start turning at the slightest sign of trouble.

Think I need to take a break from this place because it’s doing my head in how fickle some people are.

It drives me nuts. At the start of the season it was all “rebuild time”, “time to give a manager time”, “it’s not gonna be quick.

Yet the first sign of any bother and people are losing their shit. We need to give Ange time, no point sacking yet another manager who has been in the job less than a year. It will just be rinse and repeat and we will be back here again in a year.

I said that I thought we played OK in the 2nd half today. I thought we played OK vs arsenal, we've just let ourselves down at set pieces again.

That is a concern, bit I'd rather Ange gets a chance to see the Real players now and then have a chance to fix it over the summer.
