Ange

[JohnG]

Seeing posts on Twatter about how people are going to celebrate if Ange is sacked, obviously with a personal insult and expletive thrown in for good measure.
Then the next sentence saying if Dyche is the replacement how outraged they will be and would probably do some sort of protest if they ever left their bedrooms or had visited the CG once in their lives.

How did we suddenly become so unbearable as a fanbase?

Twitter has got more toxic over time and that's become more concentrated as people have left, due to Musk etc. I wouldn't take that as reflective of the overall fanbase.
Which is why last Thursday's chants were a little more disappointing.

I'd love a function to hide blue ticks as they're just farming. 

That said I do think the generation of social media are bi polar when it comes to football. Everything is amazing or utter shite. Never a bit, meh. 

I anticipate, just cos of the nature of forums, that most posters on here are 35 plus in which case it's a bit more balanced

I didn’t want Ange in charge but as long as he is still head coach I will support him and the team. You never know a win against Chelsea could spark us into life.

Exactly, i dont think most of us are sitting wait to go 'I told you so!'. Its more that its hard to see how this appointment works out, particularly if he does indeed ignore set-pieces in a season where they're becoming key.

That's fine and you're reiterated that point numerous times on different threads.

Just like the people reiterating their point about how bad Ange is? 
Missed it if you've called that out too.

My issue is that, beyond the odd spell like in the first half against Betis, we haven't seen much evidence of improvement. And worse than that the defence has now regressed to as bad as it was when Nuno first took over.

At the moment it's hard to know where the next win will come from. At least under Nuno we had a clear identity. The football might not have been exhilarating but it was (for most of last season anyway) effective. Under Ange right now it's neither. Such a diametric change in playing style means the appointment should've been done at the end of last season - not partway into this one.

Or... Taken into account Nuno's position became untenable, you recruit a coach of similar ilk, or at the very least not diametrically opposite

That's a major part of this whole business. Ange is doing what Ange does but it was obvious to most fans that such a massive change in approach was going to be a step too far, mid season, with no time to work on things. As much as we're criticising Ange, that's as much EM's problem as it is Ange.

Even changing from the more pragmatic version of Cooper to Nuno - which wasn't as big a change in playing style - took a lot of time.

Its Nuno's fault as well.

He threw the West Ham game and gifted them a win and made it such that there was no choice but to sack him.

If you want to apportion blame......its on Nuno's head.

The club wanted to change the playing style and worked on it during the summer before Ange came.
