We can't do this every time we lose a game.

Yes, we need work. Yes, Ange needs to figure out fixes. Yes, new players are needed.

But every loss it seems to be "it's not goign to work, system, tinpot, Celtic, Melbourne' etc –it's just the insecurities from before he joined. Be pissed off, sure, but be patient. A new manager thread will not solve anything.
We're at the business end of the season. There are no excuses for this.

I really don't think it's a case of being found out. We just can't play it to a good enough level yet.

Everyone has "found out" how Pep plays, doesn't mean teams are able to stop it.
Well, I see your point, but for me "found out" means being exposed or exploited.

We know how Pep's teams play, but they haven't been found out.

Personally I have no idea whether we've been found d out or whether we just need more time and some better players.

Conceded 3+ goals away to Brighton, Fulham and Newcastle away, plus 4 at Chelsea at home. Hard to win games playing like that.

It does annoy me purely because he seems to just say nothing throughout the game. I’m not asking for him to jump around like a chimpanzee, but fire a few fucks into them…
Has it ever been proved that it does any good? Most of the time i reckon it's white noise to a player, especially that prick Arteta

I think in this case "found out" simply means we are in our first season playing a new style under a new manager and we have far from perfected it yet.

Who is this player who can hold the ball up in the forward line? Oh yeah he's injured. You want Ange to pull him off the physio bench? He can't just pull one out of thin air mate.
Kulusevski should have started.

He can hold the ball up - much better than Son, Johnson, and Werner. He has his own deficiencies - but we can't play with 3 forwards who all just want to run in behind.

Newcastle deserve the credit.

But lets be honest its our soft mentality again.

All week to prepare, no intensity, terrible sharpness....you wouldnt think we were up for cementing that 4th spot.

And we've no real leaders on the pitch.

Ange has to take some respobsibily for these weak displays.

I think Ange made some tactical errors today - not having a player who can hold the ball up in the forward line for one - but despite the tactics - the players have let us down today with a lack of energy/effort. We've been beat to most 50-50 balls, and knocked off the ball too easily.
Seems less of a tactical error and more of a squad deficiency? Richy is the closest to that we have and he's been injured/absent for stretches of the season.

And yes, the same players who were doing well early season are now almost hopeless at even the basics.
