    Ange departs

    What about Ange’s system makes you believe that it can be successful in the Prem? I’m talking about purely from a tactical perspective

    Ange departs

    I don’t think that Levy is as “football dumb” as people make him out to be. But I agree Ange should absolutely tie him into knots when it comes to a detailed tactical explanation and discussion in fact he should be able to do that to Munn and Lange as well, I would be very surprised if he can’t...

    The Stats Thread

    Look at Liverpool. Watching them play I was wondering how their press is so consistent and effective. From that graph it seems either the system they play allows it to be a ‘compressed’ or positional press. So they sprint quite a lot but not long distances or situational press, ie they only...

    So there is a chance then?

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    You are smarter than that. I’m over the moon about our Europa win. And I’m not even totally Ange out despite us losing 22 games and finishing 17th. What I’m asking for is statistics pointing at progression in the league despite results.

    Yeah I know that was going to be said. But let’s have a proper conversation about it.

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    A close friend of mine is an Arsenal fan. He also knows football pretty well, been involved at various non pro levels. After the first conte season, he was adamant that he wanted Arteta to stay which I found amusing. He then broke down various statistics which showed that Arteta’s teams had...

    Ange departs

    Because of mitigating factors… but IMHO those mitigating factors don’t stretch to 17th and 22 loses. I still believe he has earned a conversation though, and in that conversation he needs to be detailed about how he will implement a new system because his system has been adapted to by other...

    OMT: European Champions v Brighton - Sunday 25 May

    Even after the injuries mostly cleared up we were still in relegation form. If he stays he needs to change his system and convince the higher ups that his new system is sufficiently adaptable that when people make adjustments he too can make adjustments as countermeasures. I’m not completely...

    I think that’s fair.

    Ange departs

    He still has the players and that’s huge. He has also delivered a trophy and we all know what that’s meant for us as fans and as club as a whole. But 17th and 22 league defeats just can’t be ignored or dismissed. Nor can the fact that results are trending downward sharply. In all other...

    OMT: European Champions v Brighton - Sunday 25 May

    So not a 4-1 loss then.

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    There is more evidence to suggest that we will be involved in a relegation battle if he stays for next season, then evidence to the contrary

    Ange departs

    What he perhaps is saying in his comparison with Brexit and Trump. Is that advocates of either refused to see the facts that were quite obviously staring them in face. Just as advocates of giving Ange another year are refusing to see that we were extremely lucky this season that there was 3...

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    Hilarious. The Ottoman empire didn’t just collapse, it was invaded and its territories divided mainly between the Uk and France. Despite the promise of Arab independence for the insurrection cemented against the Ottomans. Now obviously the background of this is the Ottoman Empire joining the...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    It’s being had now steff because we lost yet another game in the league. There is no way this team should be this poor if the manager was competent at this level.

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    Very different but whether on paper or just the eye test, one has woefully underperformed given the resources at his disposal and one has over pro-formed. I don’t hate Ange, I really wanted him to be a massive success here, I love his story and his background, his relationship with his father I...
