People are getting morally indignant because it fits in with the agenda. I didn't see any of this concern for him on here in previous weeks when he was getting some horrible criticism at times. For those who did stick up for him - fair enough.
Don’t think fans having a go at the player is the same as the manager doing it in press conference. Yes he was answering a question and yes, what he said was the truth but so was Romero, why did he mention that Romero has to apologized? Because something’s are best kept behind closed doors. Especially when he's quite adamant that he would never do such a thing just a day ago.

Because that would be us getting falsely rewarded, wouldn’t it?
I want the bastard gone before Christmas…
Of course you do, and you're never afraid to say so.

I'm sorry mate but with some of the things you've been coming out with lately, you're better off on Twitter than SC.
This sort of vitriolic name calling isn't wanted on here.

It's childish and spiteful and if you can't control yourself, do us all a favour and take it to some other platform.

I said in my post that there is a difference between a forum and what's said in the public arena but it's just this sudden concern for him when a not inconsiderable amount of people on here have been pretty harsh on him (not to mention a lot of other players). It's just an excuse to have a go at him IMO. It's like people seem to think that building a case against Ange on here is building some sort of momentum to him getting sacked.

Different is an understatement imo. Werner in all likelihood, isn’t on SC. He’s not reading posts in the Werner thread, he’s not hanging off every word we say, he doesn’t care what we think. Ange is his manager, someone he sees every day, someone I imagine he respects, or at the very least, wants to impress. Then the next day his mug is all over the back pages of every national newspaper with people putting in their 2 cents.

I agree it’s perhaps a bit disingenuous to slate Werner then be all like “ohhh poor Timo that must’ve hurt his feelings” but you either think a manager should come out and say stuff like that or you don’t it’s not about whether we as fans, on a public forum online, should say these things it’s not even comparable at all. You can be a fan and slate him but realise you’re just a fan and not the manager and you’d act differently if you were in a different position. I mean, would any of us really act like we do on here if Levy rang us up and gave us the job? Well, a few might but most would adapt their language and behaviour just as I’m sure Ange does anyway. I’m sure he went absolutely ballistic at Werner after the game and then made the choice he wanted to make it public to see if it would light a fire under him.

Fans slagging off a player on a forum is irrelevant. If some people are being disingenuous to win an internet argument then who cares, we’re a bunch of nobodies on the internet. Ange is the guy running the day to day of the football side of the club.

15 fit players and the Manager throws one of them under the bus, either a great move and Werner comes back highly motivated or we‘re down to 14 fit players and 1 mentally scarred. Ange rolls the dice and hopes it doesn’t bite him in the arse.

Well he should of bloody mentioned it by extension, given he was so 'honest' about Werner's performance.

Like so many other things in life, its not what people say that is so telling, its what they dont.

And thats why I didnt like his handling of it.

Should of criticsed all of them who wernt good enough.

Play fair ffs
To be fair to Ange he did talk about ‘other senior players’ in his comments about Werner.

I would imagine that Som / Bissouma etc know he was referring to them. Son certainly would have known following to bollocking he got walking off the pitch.

unfortunately - son probably has more sway with Levy than Ange does…

He was poor on Thursday. He’s been poor quite a bit lately. Ange took a chance on him with the loan and extension, and having him rather than Spence in the EL squad, and when down to the bare bones he needed the experienced pros to step up and Werner didn’t.

I don’t think the comments were out of order but were a sign of frustration and it wouldn’t surprise me to see Werner dropped from the EL squad, and sent back to Germany if we had the chance

There was no place on the bench for Timo Werner?

Yeah, he was sick, mate, it's just the way we're going, it's just like he woke up this morning with a fever and the doc went and saw him, he had a high fever and we had to rule him out unfortunately, so it's just the way things are.

A notification just popped up on my phone from spurs saying update on Timo with a contract type emoji. Can’t find it though when I go on the app.
