    He might not be a set system manager but he's certainly a tactical one. So he does need time with the players to put across whichever idea is the one he wants to run with. He's not a coach that's just gonna gather the players together on the day and say "go out and run around a bit." Expecting...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    Any manager should get at least a season to bed in their ideas, reconstruct the squad as best they can and show to some extent the path their football will take. The comparison to Ange is faulty. Ange wasn't sacked on the results of last season alone. He was fired for the ever progressing...

    Son was certainly an elite finisher, that's not even up for debate to me. He just wasn't the best finisher in the world. I watched a LOT of football in that era and the range and quality of finishes from Messi is just not something Son had, as great as he was.

    Scott Munn

    I'm not pro or anyone the appointment I just don't understand why he's catching all the flack re Ange? If it's a case of following the corporate hierarchy, should Levy not be getting an equal amount criticism for hiring him the first place? Why is Munn one chance and done, but everyone else...

    I think there's a player in there. Now will be be the guy for us I dunno but there's something.

    We have some rather large gaps in terms of quality. I don't know how good you think this side is but if the aim is ultimately challenging for the league then yes there are massive gaps. Even top 8 is going to be an ask imo but one that I think is achievable but far from a forgone conclusion.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    I'm very confused by people who watched the games in the league last and think "yeah he's the man to take us forward." The football he played was so devoid of self awareness I truly don't understand how anyone can think another season would make any difference. The hope seems to rely on fewer...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    He's been in the job half a season and United were appreciably worse than we were even the season before. If he has another brick season akin to last I'd expect him to get sacked at that point.

    I think the press jumped the gun possibly because the deal was supposedly the whole release fee agreement. So until Arsenal actually pay it then the "agreement" doesn't amount to anything.

    Rice, Merino, potentially Party if he stays and the reported agreement for Zubimendi. I can understand their frustration at the signing of Nordgaard. Striker and LWF should be their priorities and they've signed a midfielder and a keeper.

    Sorry mate due to my tone it probably came across like I was criticising you but I wasn't. I was agreeing and just going on a bit of general rant. 😅

    The score only counts from the moment they actually play for you. How many times have we seen over the years upon a player's signing them being lauded and the answer for all ills? It happens across the board at all clubs. Frankly the proof is always on the pudding as they say. I've been a...

    The arsenal fan criticism isn't really the quality of the player but that they are again not addressing the main holes in their squad. For the last 3 years they've clearly lacked a quality striker and wing depth for Saka and starting quality for Martinelli as his form has dropped off. Nordgaard...

    Never at any point in his life was Son a better finisher than Messi. That kills the idea of him being the best finisher in the world stoke dead. I think this phenomenon exists because we weren't winning anything so the fans needed to latch on to something semi tangible and claiming X player is...

    I'd be happy if we got him but I would expect him to play his actual position of ACM and not LWF as you assume. I don't think he lacks finesse, but I don't believe he has the level that Pep would likely want for an ACM. Eze is good but he's not that good if you think of the guys Pep has actually...

    We disagree on where he plays. The majority of Palace games I watched he played centrally not as the LWF. If you check his heat maps it's matches up as do all of the statistically sites in regards to the position they believe he plays. They all say ACM like I see it. He could play Silva and...

    But he wouldn't sign Eze for the wing. He'd sign him (or not) for the central attacking positions.

    He doesn't have the level of finesse necessary for a Pep side. He has the industry and possibly the flair but not the subtlety and finesse. That's no shame though as Pep has incredibly high standards and like you say there aren't even many of those players in the PL.

    @Legohamster They haven't needed an ACM and if they have, they have wanted a better/higher profile player. You're not going to replace De Bruyne with Eze for example.

    He succeeded in the Europa League, he failed in everything else and miserably so in the league. Judging his overall time at Spurs comes down to how you weight the competitions and the performances and results of those competitions.
