    I think only Conte actively wanted him out, even Ange him self said he’s in his plan at the start of the season. Maybe there’s something wrong with him, maybe he likes to bang the manager’s wife after practice but if he’s training well and his on pitch displays warrants it then it’s still...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I think the rate of development is probably different for everyone, physically he may be at his best but other parts of his game still needs time and will probably improve with more experience. I mean Son is a similar player but he didn’t really matured and has the consistency until he’s 25, he...

    Yea, I don’t think the reason he’s been given so little minutes is because to avoid injury, it’s probably to make sure he gets the hint that he’s future lies elsewhere.

    Yea with the new info, it’s starting to make more sense now why he’s not been given more meaningful minutes but I think it’s more likely that Ange is the one trying to nudge him towards the exit door Instead of the club as it probably makes more sense to extend his contract if he’s willing and...

    Even if it’s true, it still doesn’t explain why he wasn’t given more minutes from the bench.

    I am not sure what’s easier to defend, the runs in behind that our attackers are actually good at or asking them to beat the fullbacks 1v1 on a standing start which they had showed time and again they are incapable of doing. And how deep is super deep? What I see is that teams usually have...

    I think someone did in a previous interview and ange basically said he feels Lo celso had been contributing this season but he’s playing for a big club, any player that has a problem with playing time can look for it elsewhere.

    I think that depends largely on how they are going to be used, if like you said we are going to create space for them with better movement from those around them and have our midfield actively look to pick out their runs then I think they does fit perfectly, as their strength are in making runs...

    playing on the counter is not the only way to utilize players with pace and specialized in making runs in behind, look at the first goal we scored last night, where Johnson got behind the fullback as his run was picked out by a team mate, that’s all you need at times, players looking for the...

    I think that’s true if we are halfway through the season but not at the tail end. He should have been more than clear on who fits his style and who’s not in his plan next season by now.

    I do get what you are saying, but are we really going to sell son and Johnson in the summer?

    Then maybe you could explain better what you mean by saying “now how does he know who truly fits how he really wants to play going forwards, how does that help recruitment?” When these players have been here the whole time playing his way?

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    These are not new players to him, they have been working with him for almost an entire season, is he still not aware that son can’t hold the ball up under pressure, that Johnson can’t beat his fullback 1v1 consistently to be a viable threat especially on the left, that deki is going to cut...

    Really? No one is suggesting that we should play a low block and do counter attacks but there’s more than one way of playing possession based attacking football with the Same fundamental philosophy. are you suggesting that after almost a full season, our only attacking plan is to rely on the...

    Yea at least there is some encouraging signs that he’s trying to cut inside and get a shot away, which he hasn’t been doing for the most part of the season.
