I like Ange, seems a good guy, but man I can't see him lasting... But it'll be the same story with whoever would replace him.
Same. Who designs a system where your fullbacks are playing as 10s…. They are fullbacks for a reason they don’t have the technical ability

As an Ange fan this one is going to be a tough one to defend. Sold Spence down the river, hasn't changed up Bentancur and Sarr who have been terrible. Not sure why he wouldn't play Gray centrally and taking off Solanke was bizarre.

Its not the losses - necessarily, but we look rudderless right now.
100% this. It’s the fact that absolutely no part of the team is working. There is no attacking plan, and we are ludicrously vulnerable when we concede possession… which is an absurdly frequently. At least we are rock solid on set pieces…. Oh no we’re shit at those at both ends as well

Seems to care more about his principles than actually winning games.

He’s far too stubborn, embarrassingly naive and not as good as he thinks he is.

He might as well go now. ‘Fans’ like you won’t back him and continue to aim this Twitter-esque disrespect at a guy that took us on after losing Kane, and got us 5th (after the manager with a more impressive European resume did his best to burn it for ).
Wrong mate. I'm basing it on our form after the anomaly of the first 10 games last season. We got worse as the season went on and have started this season abysmally.

We can't defend and we can't attack.

There are no positive passages of play that I ever see. Everything is hopeful.

It's not working and the fact he tells everyone he wins in his second season is so irrelevant.

The problem is the wide players aren’t suited to what he wants to do.

Odobert probably is but went off early tonight and Ange would have to either drop or move Son central.

And Johnson and Werner are just atrocious and Kulusevski should be playing right, although he struggles wide in this system as the full backs don’t overlap as much.

Theres also the concern that Moore perhaps would be best on the left, but would he also be the kind of winger to suit how Ange likes to play?

Same spurs, we bring in a manager then don’t give him the most vital parts for his system, although there are worries he is a little out of his depth.
