Pretty ironic that Ange does the double over a coach that most fans would want him replaced by…

Yep, perhaps we need to earn the right physically first before we can silkily kill teams?!

Agreed.

It’s the tax you pay for failing to prepare adequately and invest the right amount at the right time. Chickens coming home to roost and all that.

Why? It’s nowhere near good enough. There are no signs that it’s going to improve.

Of course it will but he hasn’t got the best out of them during that time.

We all talk as if there isn’t someone available anywhere in the world? It’s shocking we put up with this rubbish.

It would maybe get someone to get something better out of this team. It’s getting worse. Don’t tell me Romero and VDV fix all the problems too?! This is nowhere near good enough. Or is it?

It’s a system not fit for use.

This team today and at numerous times look poorly coached. Are you saying this system that we’ve used has been effective? We’ve had a fully fit defence and still struggled. This performance and so so many haven’t been good enough. That’s in the coach isn’t it?

What a load of nonsense. You have to win games and manage games instead of giving chance after chance. Team looks poorly coached and managed. So much lies higher than him but Ange runs the team and it’s a shambles.

I don’t like the above and think it’s weak but over the 90+ mins we could potentially get the best out of Kulu, Porro and richy? Is there anyone else without chucking in exhausted or about to be injured players?!

Kinksy
Gray Dragusin Davies Spence
Bergvall Sarr Maddison
Moore Lankshear Son (?)
Trouble is we need to manage Kulu and Richy so they can play the next few games. No point in breaking them too!

Lankshear has to be given minutes. If he’s not upto it then we have to replace asap and allow his development on loan. I would prefer Richarlison comes on when they’re more tired hoping we’ve got enough to give them a game til last half hour. Maybe even drop Kulu to bench with him? Got to save legs.

*that in adversity we have enough

I’ve just messaged a Whattsapp group that after having a rubbish nights sleep, waking regularly and thinking of our plight, amongst half dream delap answers all our problems (!), I’ve now got a weirdly excitable positive feeling inversely we have enough! Could be the caffeine tho! 🤣

I’m with you. In conversations with people who see Biss as quality but I just see the faults.

We were so poor that first half and had Arsenal been better could have taken much better advantage of countless situations we turned the ball over to them under little pressure. Worry is how much do the returning players make difference to the shattered attack?

Someone also mentioned it to me and it just highlights how much media focus on some areas and not others (as if we needed much more of a reminder!)

What a great idea and thank you for welcoming us! We will be there for the next one. This time with better footwear, food/snacks and prep! 👍🤣

Nothing makes sense anymore. Losing and conceding goals but not sacking the manager and doubling down on him. Looking at the next month and expecting things to get worse before they get better. What have we turned into?! I am not sure whether I am happy or sad about it! #hapsad

All jolinton (three fouls and a handball)

Has anyone found a way to just play stadium noise with TNT comms? So boring. McCoist is tedious at best.

Just sent something similar. It’s so transparent from commentators and shows their huge limitations in punditry if nothing else!

Exactly. GN on commentary talking about how it was unforgivable was pathetic.

Commentators like JR, JC and PN last night wouldn’t have been picked by Ange. It scares me watching them (btw I wouldn’t be brave enough to play!) but commentators need to acknowledge and stop with the old style rhetoric. There’s little insight apart from their own limitations.

Yes shocking commentary

The concern I have is that they would be forced to spend so much on the club that it would have a detrimental effect on the amount of investment needed on the playing side. Also who has that £ who wants to see a team win unless it’s whitewashing?

Ruined weekend and nights sleep, now to face the office of Chelsea and Palace who revel in this. We take the brunt for what the board decides whilst they coin it. Where do we go from here Martin?
