    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Ange is really good at pressers calming defeated supporters, a great skill to have, but if you don't watch his interviews/pressers things are looking pretty grim atm .

    Keep hearing this, but don't understand it. Yes, with CBs and goalies...but zippy wingers ? The best time for them is surely when they are fastest and bravest, 23 is a peak time imo for this type of player, before the injuries start.

    Nope, he has definitely said the front third is where our problems lie...several times.

    These two as starters ? Please no.

    I've failed to communicate my point. I'm saying teams nowadays are set up differently depending on who the opposition is/How the match is progressing. Sometimes set up a low block/counter system, sometimes an all out attacking system and change match to match to suit. The top teams are doing...

    I just feel that there is a dated concept behind this thinking. It doesn't take into account the flexibility that's happening now in top level management. We need a manager who can make his team seamlessly attacking or defending..depending on the opposition/situation. This old skool, one style...

    Well yes, but this moment in Arteta's Arse career...he was preparing them for their Wembley FA Cup visit and subsequent victory... ...Not blowing off cups as an irrelevance. My point re all successful managers adjusting their teams depending on the opposition nowadays applies to Arteta who...

    Yes, Timo's injury is quite a blow.

    I'm pleased you guys are so comforted/inspired by Ange's words . Me, not so much. I'm stuck with what I see on the pitch and am very concerned with recent showings..

    Yes, 'Out for the season' was the headline...he's been playing now a month or two it appears...Strange.

    People were right and he has gone on to do something different. Eg recent match vs us. Arse changed their style to take advantage of our system. Newcastle too. There are also several examples from the CL in the last few days. Everyone is adapting themselves to circumstances/opposition and this...

    @RuskyM Whichever way you go, the set piece was an incompetent, club disaster. I don't see any way around that. I'll accept your word that Wenger didn't bother with who Arse were playing, but I simply don't see that these days. You surely don't want me to run through the several examples from...

    It means he's woken up imo.

    No, as Ange said (at last) 'I take responsibility'...trying to separate Ange from our dire defensive performances is a mugs game imo. You could try blaming the local lads who have the set piece coaching jobs. But the madness of not appointing experts in this field is Ange.

    You can't unsee the still of Spurs setup for the Chelsea 1st goal. Their two biggest players virtually unmarked at the back post. Sure vs Brisbane Wanderers and Kilmarnock the taker won't have the skill to pick out the unmarked players...but in the Prem.. Rank incompetence . Its a metaphor for...
