Speaking to our Review Show at the Amex, Ange said: “I’m disappointed, obviously. It’s probably as bad a defeat we’ve had since I’ve been at the club, in terms of the manner of it.

“It was an unacceptable second half. If you are not competitive in this game, if you don’t win your duels, if you are not matching your opponents’ intensity, it’s not a football equation, it’s something else and, in the second half we didn’t do any of that. In this game, at this level, you pay the price.”

Asked if, maybe, there was a hint of the job being done with us 2-0 up on the back of such a good run, Ange replied: “I hope not, because the game goes for 95 minutes. We know that better than anyone else. We’ve always prided ourselves on being that kind of team. Defeat is part of the process, but there are acceptable things and unacceptable things and today, the second half was unacceptable.”

He was extremely despondent and didn't really have too much of substance to say. Really didn't sound like a leader, more like a shell-shocked Spurs. fan!

Rarely seen a manger look so down Tbf, could tell this one hurt

Reading between the lines it sounded to me like he was blaming the players. He should have made changes at 2-1.

Gave off murderous calm vibes

Should have offered his resignation.

Maybe he should try in game management, I've heard it can be quite effective.

Have to see how the next set of games go for him now. He turned things around to a degree since the Coventry game and bought himself more time, although today's loss was a massive disappointment. To follow it's:

West Ham at home
Palace away
Villa at home
Ipswich at home

Then we play City away. We should be looking at going unbeaten up to the City game with about 3 wins. That's if we are still the team we hope we are since the Coventry game.

He actually gave a better interview imo today.

For one thing he wasn't coughing.

For another he actually looked at the bloke asking the questions.

And he also gave reasonable answers rather than just mumbling against the wall making it clear he was only there because he had to be.

That's a guy I could find a bit more likeable.

Also looks like he's lost a few pounds. Good effort.

Yes up to the City game, which you can say already is an expected loss. Villa game we could draw or even win. The point is we shouldn't be losing any of these games and should be able to get a high points total out of it. Obviously unbeaten with 4 draws would be rubbish.

Well the interview involving the woman talking to him from Sky that I saw, he didn't look at her once, only at the floor. Maybe it's women interviewers he doesn't like?

This manager can't see the truth.
The first half was just as evenly contested as the second half.
Welbeck missed a golden scoring chance, and our second goal was a goalkeeper's error.
Half-time should have stood at 1-1.

But this "manager" has no plan B.
The long ball up field will beat the only two defenders he leaves on the pitch.....everyone else is in the opposition half.
Frankly, Aussieglue can blame himself, nobody else.
