I dont even think it's that complex. There are fairly simple fixes for a lot of our issues, football is a simple game at heart.

I dont rate managers by ostentatious gestures either, i rate them by their results. but if they are complaining about a lack of focus and starting matches badly, you can mitigate these issues in-game. This is basically the point of an assistant manager, to be constantly on the players in-game

it translates to the pitch. Peps' city, Arteta's Arsenal, Klopps liverpool, the way the team played reflects the manager on the toucline. Pep wants constant pressing and running, so he communicates this to the players via body language. Klopp the same. Ange too, but not in a good way

read somewhere that we have gone a goal down at home in 15 of our home games this season in the PL, which is an all-time record for any club. This is an attitude/motivational issue rather than a tactical/personnel issue.

Ange needs to provide in-game coaching/motivation from the touchline. or delegate his assistant to. If players are losing focus in-game, find a way to mitigate. This is why mgrs spend 90min bellowing from the sidelines, to make sure players are switched on. Ange should not think he is above this

he made a big noise about Johnson being his top target. Hasn't said a word about Odobert. Johnson has a lot of goal involvements but RW is a black hole of nothingness when he plays. Also Ange can veto transfers if he wants. He needs to be more discerning about who we sign

makes you wonder why he decided to sign Werner twice and Johnson once. Needs to make better decisions in this respect

the problem is the guy has chronic verbal diarrhoea. Banged on about how lucky we were to have a player of Timo Werner's quality joining us. alarm bells were ringing then but ppl said 'if Ange wants him then so do I'. Now apparently Ange didn't want him at all 😭

the reason is that in the business world you can just bully and bigfoot your way around. Requires little actual skill or nous, just the ability to be a unscrupulous and powerful.
the world of football requires much more subtlety and skill to negotiate. You are dealing with people on a equal footing

want even fans who wanted it....it was firstly managers looking for easy excuses post match when their team has lost. Then it was the media regurgitating it...then the fans just went along with it like the nation of bootlicking peasants we are

the chronic problems aren't with the institutions of officialdom. they are within the institutions of journalism and fandom, which have led us on this fool's errand of VAR.
VAR was like Brexit - was never supposed to happen. Was supposed to be a basement dwellers threat

People just need to stop moaning. Referees aren't perfect, never have been, never will be. And this frankly childish quest for ultimate fairness is working about as well as any mature, intelligent person thought it would.
VAR is a stupid idea, dreamt up by stupid people, empowered by weak vassals
