Well said Diamond Lights
Adapt or die is all I’ll add.
I’m not sure he will last the season at this rate
It’s clear he has lost the dressing room

The way he got us playing like world beaters the first 10 games shows he has something about him.
Clearly it system requires very specific players, so he needs to address that in the summer.
Certainly done enough to get another season but this form can't drag into next season or the daggers will be out.
Final nail in coffin for Ange was bringing in Gil and not Moore
Clubs a complete and utter shambles

I mean it would have been far better if we had started the season slow and then played the last ten games like the first ten games!
I know I’ve been pretty harsh on him, but I want him to demonstrate that he at least understands the issues and is attempting to rectify them. Saying he’s not really interested in defending set pieces when we’ve conceded 16 goals that way really isn’t acceptable.

This is scathing, but worth reading.

Levy has three choices
1. Back Ange with the seven players it will take to make this work and cut your losses on half the squad that clearly can’t do it
2. Replace Ange with yet another manager that will try again to work with these players and Enic
3. Do half of 1, then implement 2 after Christmas when realising he should have done 1.
AP has had to play the cards he’s been dealt, and imo not done a bad job of it. You’d need to be nuts not to back him.
I think Ange has done enough to earn the summer transfer window, he needs players better suited to his system, so we'll see if that's addressed.
He also has a history of addressing and improving things in his second season so that is also encouraging.
What is not encouraging is constant faith in Kulu, last night's performance takes the biscuit, and his dismissal of the set piece situation.
Overall, I'm actually willing to give him more time cos we know the brand of football can be good to watch. The yrs of defensive garbage are still too fresh for me to forget.
If we start next season how we've finished this one though, he won't last long.
If you objectively think about it and consider the entire season and all factors, its been a poor job. 5-6/10 for me.
The only people saying otherwise are those who are looking at it in a simplistic, one sided view / happy with mediocrity. “Ange plays great football”. “We are so attacking now it’s what we wanted”. “5th place first season is good”. Every single argument can be easily critiqued and defeated.
BISS.
We should do our ratings at the end of the season, see if we at least hold out for 5th & Europa!

"he needs players better suited to his system, so we'll see if that's addressed"...... are we saying Werner & Johnson are players that "fit his system"... If that's the case I'm worried ! Do defenders need to be Usan Bolt fast ala VDV coz we are always defending on the half way line ? or don't like defending corners coz he doesn't care about that.... Hmmm

I don't watch you enough so will concede I could be talking crap, but those first 10 games could just as easily be put down to a new manager bounce/other teams not yet adapting to your tactics as opposed to Ange's brilliance.

spot on
I'm still Ange in. A free pass is a free pass.
Another managerial change is not the answer.
One or two more windows are needed.

I'm hoping Werner was a stop gap loan signing due to injuries/AFCON, Johnson was signed in the hope he will improve. Johnson shows signs at times of what he could be but no question he isn't good enough yet. However, I think both are the right type of player for the wide areas, just not enough quality.
In the summer, we need 5 players who can go straight into the first team. Huge questions over that happens it has to be said.
