It's the taking part that counts, all part of the get along gang.

I dont think the thrashing at home last week helped.

The story has been updated now - officially Sacked.

It's strange, it does look like he fell out with Marinakis.

He did a good job, and this is a strange decision just for football reasons. Postecoglou is a weird fit as his style is quite different, much less pragmatic and defensive, and it's not clear the Forest team is set up to play his football. Are you really going to go from a team that sits back to hit on the break to a team that presses high up the pitch? Do you have the defenders to recover balls knocked in behind? Or will Ange change his football?

Kind of annoying we (Arsenal) have you next, as I have no idea what to expect. Still, will enjoy seeing the Postecoglou song again.
:D

He almost relegated Spurs, I guess we'll see where this goes, but I'm not a fan of him atm.

We might at least attack teams now

It could (i.e will) leave you open at the back, though. If he plays his normal football.

His system also only kind of works if you have faster centre-backs that can recover balls in behind the high line quickly.

We'll see, it might be he does change his football and players seem to like him, so you may get an early boost as well.

Well that was fun!

Forest didn't look good, but our attack looked great!

Aina got injured playing for Nigeria and of course Zinchenko can't play (and for some reason they didn't want to start Savona) so we had Neco playing RB (when he's been playing LB) and then Morato (who's a CB) at LB and it showed.

Once Murillo had gone off injured and then Morato had gone to CB it looked a bit more settled, but then your player managed to score a worldie (they don't get stopped like, ever) and it was only going one way ever but that cemented it.


Just goes to show that Arsenal - who are a top side but haven't ever really been rich in resources - managed to bring in Eze, Madueke, Gyokeres at a significant cost whilst for a PL side outside the big clubs spending 30-40m on a player still feels like a lot.

Yes.

I wasnt impressed by his appointment, I have seen nothing to change that view.

Today was an example of "how to throw away a match".

Why do frigging managers have to mess with teams when they are winning. :mad:

2 - 0 (despite giving the ball away far too often), half time comes, team messed with, poor 2nd half, schoolboy defending, game lost. :(
