This is going to be an issue. Rightly or wrongly, he never compromises his principles.

This time, he actually needs to. Teams aren’t going to start having a go at us when it’s easier to just sit back and try to bypass our midfield by hoofing it over the top.
i actually do not think it is his tactics at this moment, it is the players standing to much still. Our midfield looks like they are in pre season. At the start of the season Maddison got the 2 extra yards as he was moving way more. Bissouma turned in midfield passing forward, he only sideways pass now. Bentancur alway qquick on the move passing forward, now he is more often with the back against the goal passing back and reacitng to everything.

They look miles off

Ange wasn't happy with the top 4 question before the game but you can forget about the top 4 with this shitshow mate.

The worst insult I can throw out at the moment is that we are boring. We are playing boring football that is as bad as anything that was dished up during the Conte era.

Huge 45 here for rest of our season IMO, tough run of games coming up so 3 points here are a must

82% possession, completed 7x’s more passes than palace, yet we have an xg of 0.16 and they have a higher xg of 0.2. Says it all really.

All too pedestrian. Where has the urgency gone that we had for the first half of the season no matter whatever team we put out?

I dont know if it is that or whether we are just not playing at the intensity we were earlier in the season. We look slow.
I reckon that we were always likely to go through something like this at some point in the season.

It's just too slow. No need to overact about people being found out and writing players off.

When you're facing a team who have no intention of moving out of a low block and have a back five it will always be a slog until you get the goal but we do need to move the ball far quicker and try and switch the play up as much as we can.
Yep. The couple of times we upped the tempo we look way more threatening. Only to retreat back into ponderous passing again.

At risk of oversimplifying things; I think really they just need to get in the mindset of forcing the ball in the back of the net and actually enjoying doing it.

We need more guile I that front line.

Too many get the ball and see a wall of players so go back.
