All on Ange….way too cautious with VDV and Romero ….i get easing them back in but they have wrapped in cotton wool and like you say now are lacking match sharpness
Bloke has muddled himself up so much and lost his way
Like others have already pointed out , he has gone from declaring it’s about the long term and one trophy changes nothing to basically using every game to prepare for our Europa matches …..im surprised the media haven’t used that on him yet
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what has disappointed me most about him, he has not stuck to his beliefs.
Our pattern of play has changed, to the extent now that the way we line up is a pretty standard high pressing front foot style, played by many teams, but we aint executing it well at all. It's far removed from AngeBall v.1 which was far more aggressive and daring, and it has not been a success.
So our "it's who we are mate" approach has been compromised.
As you point out, this putting all the eggs in one basket now smacks of 1. desperation to back up his 2nd season trophy claim and; 2. achieving Levy's top aim of the UCL promised land.
It is far removed from his long term vision and if a team is to be a success, then players really have to buy into the vision and if Ange's vision is now very short-sighted, it would not be a surprise if the players started to question the credibility of his vision. Not that he's lost the dressing room but there will be doubts and that will only lead to one thing.
Will this FA do anything to help English
