There was a clear plan for where Klopp, Arteta and Guardiola were headed with their teams, though. I think that fades with every game under Ange, unfortunately. And I don't think the game that he would like to play is achievable with our resources - and he clearly isn't up for adapting, even when we are down to the bare bones due to injuries.
I still hope that I am wrong, though.

For me he is a novice at this level.
We've seen his football can be excellent. It can also be terrible.
The excellent side should be the building block - that includes him learning and developing. There have been glimpses of that, but few and far between.
Now is the perfect time to show it. The season is only half way - if he has a strategy that delivers by May, great!! But the PL is unforgiving - it's eaten up and spat out better players and managers than Ange.

I don't so. There is a clear plan under Ange. The question is is that plan a winning one or too naive for the PL.

I want Ange to stay and work things out but he’s really annoying me recently. Can’t be saying things like “I just to want to entertain” when you’re losing football matches.

Remember when that was exactly what fans wanted lol? "Don't mind getting beat as long as we at least try and have a go etc."
Footballs mad like that ain't it!? Do you think he has a solution for making us less open and it's simply injuries and the need for more system based signings that will get us there or is this just the way he plays??

We're not entertaining though. Our movement is crap and we play the ball too slow. We are way more AVB than we are Poch.

I think people were saying that when we were playing rubbish football and losing so it’s slightly more preferable to play good football and lose lol. Poch and Arry had a pretty good balance, they played good football but we weren’t so flippin easy to play against and beat. Poch’s teams were also powerful and strong and we had pace. We just lacked guile when Eriksen was off form.

Pick and Arry had a lot of options in the squad at key points
Poch team became powerful but that wasn’t from the off. It took him time to get it right
He has a plan and while yes there are question marks over it's suitability to the league/level of football - I'm still not seeing much progress wrt implementing whatever his plan is tbh

Do you think there would be more progress if he had more players available?

And better ones, I think the answer would be yes and yes

I think just missing maybe half of the players we are would make a difference myself
But that wouldn’t be spurs
Look at Arsenal and city…. They lost one player and their season was ended
If I was him, I would go all in on the cups.
F*ck the PL we are not getting Europe, let alone CL....
Lets just play the youngsters, brung Philips, Devine, Veliz off loan...
Richy is always injured.
Get Gray playing in his DM role.
Bergvall, in his AM role.
Veliz as backup to Solanke...
Get Djed and Reg, rotating wuth with the v other FB's.
Get a proper LW in Jan and LB... If we can...
Get a RW too, Johnson aint good enough.

Tbh based on what I've seen so far I don't think so.
He's had minimal change to his first XI between this season and last (regarding transfers) so they really should be up to speed by now. We've had our fair share of injuries this season and last plus this season the added opportunities to rotate in the EL and LC meaning he has been able to give more game time to a wider selection of players. Neither the first team nor the rotational players look comfortable with the set up

Spot on. And his huge number of changes for Europa league games doesn’t help either.

The rotation in really really not impressed with
Massively missed opportunity for him
It may be him thinking the players need more time with him but don’t know
But for me it eliminates a big chunk of the excuses he could be given.
It’s almost making a rod for his own back

This. I am not entertained at all by the way we play in the majority of matches. ‘Angeball’ feels like a bit of a myth to me. I’ve witnessed it on only an handful of occasions in 18 months.
There is a plan but so far the implementation of it has been poor. It doesn't help when he starts trying to put round pegs in square holes. Play Spence at RB instead of Gray. If Sarr is our only available DM and he needs changing use Gray there. Use Werner at LW not Johnson. If one of the younger goalkeepers is going to be here long term play them instead of Forster (he has played well he's just not the future). Even if he doesn't think they are ready yet they will at least get experience. Spence is 24, if he's not ready now then he never will be.
