    Yep. Like an apparition, I only appear when things are grim. :eek: Don't remember you at all, but assume we must have argued about ENIC or something - usually what folks who snarl about me tend to be upset about.

    Glad you've admitted to it - no shame in that. I myself have freely admitted he was never my choice. That was Poch, and will always be. But even then, there's quite a bit objectively wrong with his approach that anyone can see. Angrily yelling about how it's all a mirage and Ange is perfect...

    Oh no, the forum police is here, whatever shall I do? Baiting you into being outraged is pretty easy - should tell you something about 'over the top' when you're in rabid fights with half the forum whenever someone dares to mildly criticise your golden boy Ange. ;)

    Absolutely - he used to be able to get it into the corner and hold it there like a master. That's one element of gamesmanship. But that's not all. We tend to play to the crowd and the occasion, and as far as I can recall, always have done. A truly streetwise side shuts the crowd down, and then...

    OMT * Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City *

    Yep. There's a big difference between brickhousery, which we have been doing since Poch, and game management, which we have lacked for literal decades. A player smart enough to understand when to commit and draw fouls, when to hold the game up or to quicken things, when to go long or short...

    We're between a rock and a hard place on the left wing. I can see the logic in what we're trying to do - give Sonny that spot, have Werner on loan backing him up for a year so we can bring Moore through in the longer term (know he usually started on the right in pre-season, but he's made his...

    A good tactical system is about minimising the chances for that sort of mistake to occur mate. There were multiple weaknesses from last season. Most were on display again today. - Passing aimlessly around the box with no end product - check. - Playing for only 45 minutes a game - check. -...

    Yep, exactly. Pep Guardiola has a set piece coach. Arteta has a set piece coach. I think about half the clubs in the league do at this point. Postecoglou thinks we don't need one. If he wants to be more dogmatic than the world's greatest managers, that's his right. If he ends up getting...

    Judging by his last 30 games, doubt I'll have to wait long. Look, I get you're madly in love with this bloke out of the footballing wilderness, but you have to face reality here. He hasn't fixed a single thing from last year. And time is running out. If he gets us winning, great. If he...

    I expect things to steadily improve, yes. What you have failed to see is that since game 10 of last season, we have gotten *worse* - settling at a pretty mediocre level that has continued into this season. I expect a coach to fix problems, make his players better and adapt to issues. He has...

    It's always only one half, too. We play well for 45 minutes and then collapse, and Postecoglou has singularly failed at fixing this for about 30 games running. Strange.

    We've been like this since last October, i.e, since 10 games into his time in his charge. 'First sign of trouble', indeed.

    Mmm. If your idol eventually gets sacked for his dogmatism, don't cry - it's life, we move on, there are far better coaches out there. You need to earn the right to be as stubborn and dogmatic as he is. He hasn't earned anything, and time is running out for him to turn things around. No more...

    It's difficult to see what Postecoglou can do, to be fair. There's a chance here to do a Poch and start playing just the youngsters, to make a point to the senior pros - Bergvall and Gray both had promising moments, and we have a lot of young players who can be used in that way. Problem is...

    ENIC

    Don't have an X account, but they're posting club-by-club stats on there - you could give them a look? Bournemouth apparently have a 99% satisfaction rate with their owners. :oops:

    ENIC

    Was going to post this. Interesting that 42% of our fans are now ENIC Out - I honestly expected it to be roughly 25-33% or so, but it's a pleasant surprise. Hopefully more change their minds in time. We're approaching year 25 of these owners, so you have to think that at some stage the penny...

    Richarlison

    Fair point, but the difference is that the players who want to stay loyal to us are generally brick, whereas it's the ones we want to keep who end up wanting moves away. Richarlison is no exception. His loyalty is appreciated, but he's constantly injured or unavailable, and not a particularly...

    A) 'One of the most knowledgeable CEOs in the business' - suffice it to say, I heavily, *heavily* disagree. He's average - I put it to you we could have hired any FTSE 500 CEO, and if we'd given them 23 years they would have had us in a similar position. There was a time Levy had new ideas and...
