I hate to be the one to say it, but a lot of you who are spewing vitriol in here now are the same people who were convinced that a lot of the players who started last night would be completely new players under Ange.
They aren’t. They’ve consistently let the club down under various managers now. It’s been said a thousand times. You can’t polish a turd. If we want to compete at a higher level and achieve things, we’re going to need to be patient while we work the rot out.
Like I said last night, some players simply can’t be “coached up”. They have a ceiling and it’s been reached for years already.
Now my attention turns to Ange. Again, like I said last night, I’m not disappointed in him. We’ve seen a completely renewed 1st team, and we’re playing some very attractive football so far. Changing out 9 of those players to know the depth of your squad is a bold move, but a move that needed to be made. You could argue the semantics of it and say that it shouldn’t have happened in the carabao cup but rather at a later stage, but we can’t blame Ange for trying. It was a mistake and he’ll learn from it. If anything, his past managerial positions prove this.
We need to trust and stick behind Ange, through the good and the bad decisions. Last night was the first bad one. It doesn’t warrant any level of abuse, but there is always a place for fair criticism. Try to keep that in mind, and put your emotions aside when levelling that criticism.
Just my 2c, I think both sides of the argument have made some very valid points in here. But some of it is just down right petty abuse. It’s unnecessary and it goes to show that some fans just simply can’t control their emotions. A very dangerous trait to have not only as a football fan but in general.
