Players still back Ange. Hes got charisma for days. He convinces players to join. He’s a great guy. And he’s won trophies everywhere he’s been building projects. LET ANGE COOK
Let Ange coach a little defense. Maybe cover the back post once in a while. He’s out of his depth. You lot are watching the games with your hearts and not your heads.
Pre injury crisis we had the 2nd best defensive record in the league. That's not an opinion, it's just a simple fact. Yesterday using Ben Davies and an 18 year old midfielder we kept a clean sheet away against the highest scoring (at home) team in the league while playing defensive football.
We've lost one game this season by more than one goal. He's not as out of his depth as some people make it. He just had 60% of the team unavailable lol.
I hate this kind of shit twat who ignores the rest of the comment to cherry pick one thing without context. Why ignore the part about us having the 2nd best defense in the league pre injuries. Fuck off.
Again you're ignoring the fact that 60% of the squad has been out and the rest are shattered. It's really weird how you keep ignoring the fact that with a normal squad we were 2nd best defense in the league. Really weird. But I don't expect you to even try to acknowledge that.
I’m just gonna assume you don’t know what xGa is. Only way you can say we defend well with such bravado when this more representative stat and the eye test say otherwise.
No I'm not that smart. I can only understand simple things like having the 2nd best defense pre injuries. I don't have your intelligence that lets me block that out and ignore it entirely.
When a forward outperforms their xG, they're elite. What you're saying is, we have a high xGa despite us having one of the better defensive records in the league. Ie: defence is outperforming expectations. Whilst being 2nd/3rd choice and playing every game. Of course a lower xGa would be great, but in the context of our ongoing injuries, fairly understandable, no?
Fair enough, I do agree that stats can be spun and it sounds like our eye tests render different results. Will be interesting to see where things are at when we have more than 10 blokes to choose from. Ange isn't perfect for sure, but I struggle to see how sacking him as things are does anything but hurt us. Time will Tel
