Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

[Misfit]

Also, I hope GNev's cock falls off and he doesn't realise so there no chance of it ever being found and reattached by the time he finally notices.

Ahem.

 

[Mr Pink]

He seems to be getting on like a house on fire with Levy at the womens game this afternoon

Agne asked about transfers for January....conversation killer

 

[nicdic]

Yea it’s more just been a few misstimed and reckless tackles but it’s not like our team are punching players and lashing out week after week.

Romero and Biss need to calm down a bit, but also VAR slowing every single tackle down isn’t helpful at all, Udogie is learning the ropes but otherwise we are ok.

Just taking our reds and yellows in isolation is not helpful, so many unpunished fouls against us, not just against Forest, but seemingly every week, especially so since Liverpool.

How Yates didn't get booked once, even winning a free kick for probably the most reckless tackle of the night when he should have been booked etc.

Bissouma's red was just a late tackle. It wasn't dangerous, just late. Romero on Wilson, was just late, not malicious.

No, Daniel was searching YouTube for a highlight reel of a player Ange might like - something Ndombele.

It's abundantly clear that teams have been going out with tactics to kick us off the field. For reasons beyond comprehension refs are letting this happen every game now.

Forest was fucking diabolical. Somehow they ended up with 2 yellows v our 4 + 1 red despite committing five more fouls, 16 v 11.

This is also resulting in injuries, eg Maddison.

Was just saying the same to my cousin.

It started in the Chelsea game. I was at that and saw it live.

Was also at the West Ham game, again happened here with little or no protection from the ref.

And obviously last night, difference being we won ...but you could see Agne releasing frustration at the end.

You can imagine the oppositions preparation is all about being overly physical to disrupt our play and target our hot headed types

 

[arunspurs]

We have gone from one of the oldest team to one of the youngest. So, discipline issues are bound to happen.
I am looking at players like Romero , Bissouma , Udogie to see if they can learn from this.

Porro is the ideal player for them to look at - gives it as much as possible to opponents but when opponents to do it to him, doesnt get hot headed and tries to milk contacts in best possible way.

All these suspension should hurt these players. I am hoping squad can show a more matured side in 2nd half of season

It actually started in the game before that against Palace. They kicked lumps out of us and got away with it time and time again. Andersen should have had a red too.

It all kicked off after the Liverpool match….

Chris Davies decides to stay as our assistant. That's big when you think about it. He's passed up a big opportunity to become Head coach at a big team and decided to stay and win the league as our assistant

Forgot about Palace, quite right mate.

Agreed, Porro is such a prorro, great mentality and attitude.

Swansea ?

More confirmation here, good news

Great news , the coaching staff Ange has put together have clearly been a huge reason behind our brilliant start to the season all things considered, keeping that as consistent as possible will be important.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Classic.like a first date. Levy is texting his mate saying “call me and say the house is on fire”

wondering if the toilet has a big enough window to climb out of .

 

[luRRka]

Swansea ?

You dont think a championship club is a big club for an assistant manager to get as his first (apart from 6 months at reading) managerial role?

Swansea are not a big club. Whichever way one cares to paint it.

Yeah you're right, assistant managers regularly get their first gig at top prem clubs
