I live 8 time zones to the west of Greenwich.
So I have the advantage of knowing the result of a match, and what happened BEFORE I watch the tape.
And when I watch the tape I know what errors to be looking for!
Bottom line....we should never, ever, have lost this match.
But the manager seems to think that the players took their foot off the gas and let him down in the second half! Really?
That's not what I saw.
The two halves were in fact evenly contested. our second goal was a keeper's error, and Welback missed a golden scoring chance in the first half, so reality could have prevailed at half-time with a score of 1-1.
Both teams play a "high line".
But our's is even higher than theirs.
Time and again, we left just two CBs in defense, with both backs, Udogie and Porro up in the opposing half, along with everyone else, except Vicario.
Now what are the opposition going to do? Play a long ball over our "defense" to their wingers, Matoma and the other guy. Center the ball to Welbeck or someone, and score!.
There is a point in a match, perhaps at the beginning of the second half when you're 0-2 up, to ease up on attack and play a little extra defense. Perhaps leave Udoggie and Porro back a bit. Or take some of the weight off of Romero and VDV with a defensive midfielder. God knows, Bentancur wasn't doing much anywhere.
But what does our manager do. Continue to play everyone up field. Result.....Brighton score 3.
And he thinks the players let him down! This is a man who has no second thinking, no change of strategy, no plan B. We have a strategic dunce for a manager.
AussieGlue, or Ange, A Tactical Dunce!

Here is a question.
Does anyone here think doing nothing after the first goal was correct?
I'll hazard a guess the answer from nearly everyone is no.
So we are all wrong, or our manager is inept

Romero thou not the main one he was.at fault for the winner....absolutely on his heels while welbeck had a free header.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And why did he have a free header?
Also, no, Romero was not at fault.....he was doing what Aussieglue ordered him to do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So Ange ordered Romero to stand like a statue, whilst Welbeck had a free header.
You are hilarious at times Ted.

Ange may not be a tactical genius, but we’ve had 2 of the best tactical managers in recent times and we were still the same
The players change …..the managers change ….nothing changes …..except ENIC

Ted, your hero Welbeck was like a traffic cone when Welbeck headed the winner. Wot you got to say about that?
And were you watching the same 1st half as the rest of us. Sours should have been out of sight, despite Welbeck missing ONE chance, Spurs also missed several promising positions.
The goals conceeding were just down to rank bad defending, nothing to do with high lines.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The point is... there wasn't any defence....good or bad...all the defenders were up above the halfway line...a-la-Aussieglue!
Go to the opticians and get a good pair of glass, Sandy....Mate!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All three goals were conceeded with the defence in position. Were you actually watching the game? They just didn't defend properly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have the game tape. Tell me what minute in the game you think our defence "was in position" and I will tell you exactly where they were.
Sandy, mate, you're either blind or stupid...which is it?
I can replay any portion of the game you want.

Spurtle........"Ange is like a car that only has a 5th gear. Sometimes you need to be able to put it in 1st."
****
Yup...he's got no first gear...mate, he thinks he doesn't need one....doesn't understand how gear boxes work.....never open one up and took a look.
Only got one gear, mate!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually Ted, there is a reverse gear as well, since we appear to be going backwards.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ange is stuck in reverse and doesn't know it!
Sounds about right!

Hilarity is confusing Romero with Welbeck!
Only Sandy is clueless enough to do that!
