Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

[Dougal]

Arteta was backed by the club. You can tell Ange is not being 100% backed in the same way.

We just need to hope the kids come good, otherwise he is screwed.

He’ll be fine. There are other jobs. We’re the ones getting screwed.

Can’t believe we didn’t buy a top class defensive midfielder this summer.

Ridiculous

We spent £40m on Gray who hasn’t stated a game yet

 

[Trix]

Honestly think less than 60% of the posters on here actually watch the games. Comments about bring Jose or Conte back are litterally laughable.

Not read those posts, who has said that?

Their chance wasn’t a creation though it was shit play from out individual player, it seems some people think they continuously carved us open, they sure as shit didn’t.

you’re referring to their goal, I’ve given you a clear example of them carving us wide open with 2 very simple passes.

I like Ange’s mentality but I think it’s just too deep for the players and a lot of fans and the media to get their heads around. Footballers aren’t the brightest bunch. Keep it simple and you’ll probably get a tune out of them.

Absolutely, players have been playing since what 8-9. Most know how to play football, the coach can only do so much, if Romero stayed tuned in for that one moment we would be quite happy with the 0-0.

Ur aren’t making sense, they played for a draw at best, scored from a corner. Artery doesn’t usually play that way, u call it tactics nouse, we tried to play the game, they got a set piece? We had a couple of clear chances, and yes we should have taken them, but that’s not on Ange that’s on the players, even their goal was a Romero mind fart. This isn’t a clear cut science it’s football, what’s pissing me off is people saying this is like Jose/Conte, if you can honestly say that with a straight face I suggest u haven’t actually watched much football.

What on earth are you talking about? Of course they didn't play for a draw. Like I keep saying there is a tried and tested way to play against us, and none of the teams doing it are playing for a bloody draw.

Plenty of posters saying that this is no much better than those seasons. I’m sure as shit not gonna filter back, keep up.

Oh so no one has said that then and you've just made it up.

Ange is getting more and more defensive in each press conference. That smiley cheeky Ozzie seems to have totally disappeared.

While we should've done more in the Summer window, I still think it's too easy to say Ange isn't being backed. It undeservedly shifts the blame away from him. There are issues that have been plaguing this team since February and he hasn't shown an indication that he even wants to address them, let alone demonstrate that he's capable of doing so.

Even in today's press conference after the game he bristled at the suggestion that we have a problem with set pieces, saying yet again that they're part of the bigger picture etc (which he's been saying since February). If improving set pieces prevents us throwing points away for fun, why would he not embrace that? It's just infuriatingly stubborn on his part and it's going to cost him.

Yet arsehole had the same issues and arteta dealt with it bringing a set piece coach last year and they look completely different attacking and defending them.

You been saying Arsenal played for a draw....and now also saying we should be happy with 0-0

They all catch on to Levy eventually.

Sorry mate, ofc they bombarded us, pushed us back constantly, always on the front foot they were.

I genuinely think he's either drunk or trolling now.

And what, you do realise Arsenal have been pushing for the title lately?

Mate this isn't worth carrying on. You clearly don't understand what's going on so I'll leave it there.

 

[spurs9]

Ffs I just saw it's our worst start in the league for 9 years. Was that Poch's first season (might've been his second)?

Poch's second season.
