Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

[Lemonade Money]

I think Deki and Solanke are usually really good.But they are knackered. And the goons are essentially Paella Pulis level physical.

There is a variety in what other teams do that we don’t have (although there has been the odd sign of it of late). Other teams tend to take some account of what their opponents do, and adapt their own play as a result; under Ange we generally don’t.

I haven’t heard any managers or players say it about other teams in the league this season. Strange that.

Do you listen to post match interviews of players for every club in the PL then? I've certainly heard players say that exact thing, our own and opposition - it means nothing and just an easy thing to say when you win.

There has been variety in our play the whole time Ange has been here, just because as a whole we have always been a front foot attacking team doesn't mean otherwise. People on here have highlighted specifics @Finney Is Back especially on the subtle tweets during games and people either just don't see it or choose not to because they don't agree with it....

This would be the critical ingredient. No lurching. With regards to the journey, I was referring to the stack of issues right now, from injuries and fatigue to Ange simply not getting what he needs at a critical moment. It's Jan 16th. We knew what we needed in late November/early December. Just to say, I don't think a soingle supporter feels good right now, let alone feels it is good enough regardless.

The fact is though we were dreadful even before the injuries, and losing to sides we should beat. Even with the injuries does anyone actually believe we should be 14th with the players available, of course not. Despite what the players are saying publicly I don't believe they have any faith in Ange's tactics. Top managers don't use the same method as Ange for a reason. It may have worked in Japan and Scotland, but it won't work in the prem. Don't get me wrong, with the squad we have and the lack of ambition from our owners we won't win anything, however I do believe we should be doing an awful lot better. I very much suspect Levy is lining something up now, and I just hope he does it sooner rather than later
