is Ange getting the sack? 


Don’t think so yet unless he’s “lost the dressing room”. I’ll say the same thing I’ve said all along, we’ll be able to make the judgements next season after another proper transfer window.

 

At this point you could still argue that the squad isn’t strong enough all round to mount a proper challenge in all competitions. He wants them to play a particular way and a few players are either not capable, young and developing or just exhausted. The bigger question is whether playing that way is sustainable or is inevitably going to result in the sort of injury list that precludes a successful season.

 

I’m still in the “benefit of the doubt” stage. Obviously if we fundamentally changed the way we played it might yield different results but I think you can still call us a club in transition. If we’re seeing the same issues next year then I think you can reasonably say “mate, it’s not going to work”. I mean, today’s defence was a (in truth) #3 keeper, a player making his second PL start, a couple of young defenders (one of whom is plainly worn out) and a teenage CM. The excuses are there.
 

We’re still capable of beating anyone in a given game. It’s just obviously frustrating to keep losing games in the same manner week in and week out, and easy to lose sight of the bigger picture, which I still think is positive.
