You can't sip champagne in the sun foreverSome nonsense in here, was always obvious that the depth wasn't there but the way he's had us playing up until now has been unbelievable.
I was disappointed today however as he was uncharacteristically cautious with the starting line-up, we already know that the players of the previous regime aren't up to it.
WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW????
Let's see what happens to the friendly press conferences and glowing reviews of him after a few ball-punch losses with the camera zoomed in on his disappointed face. He got the first impression which will give him a nice long leash but the team has bottled their first test of adversity.
This is Redcafe, how dare you be so sensible.People need to calm down. He’s lost 2 games this season. They’re still above where they should be or was expected to be. Let’s judge him at the end of the season…
AustraliaYeah, I mean it's not like he was Australia manager for a bit or anything...
He was the cone boy. Get it right.Not everyone can get top jobs by being Pep's waterboy.
That doesn't really mean much. Development is hardly linear even for coaches and it's not like you can make your way to the top from Australia as fast compared to starting off in Europe.
He could turn out to be a decent midtable/Europa League manager. Some people on here were already claiming he's the heir apparent to Klopp based on 10 games .Let me guess. "Should have gone to a team in the Championship to prove himself"

What's funny about an Australian taking charge of his national side?Australia

I think a lot of the praise was just criticism on ten Hag.Some people get very precious over a manager getting praise for a good early start.
How can we laugh?I get football rivalry and mocking and stuff, but people are mocking Spurs and Ange while being above Man United? Maybe I don’t get it…

Couldn’t tell if you was sarcastic or not but I wouldn’t go that far. Not even the best in the league. He’s doing a great job though and he’s another example of another manager that’s made their mark a lot quicker than ours has.
equally a lot of the criticism when other managers receive any praise is just sensitivity around Ten HagI think a lot of the praise was just criticism on ten Hag.
By the same token, a lot of the criticism for other managers on here down the years always seems to be motivated by trying to make our current manager look better in comparison.I think a lot of the praise was just criticism on ten Hag.
Bielsa got found out and his team relegated.By the same token, a lot of the criticism for other managers on here down the years always seems to be motivated by trying to make our current manager look better in comparison.
Some of them are outright bizarre, Bielsa went from being popular to absolutely hated on here for a while because he was getting praised in a period where Ole was getting criticism. Pochettino also seemed to suffer the same fate, the vitriol against him on here is downright weird.
The problem is the comparisons aren't apt, they are baseless as most of the managers get found out when they have injuries, they have better teams or get time to do something (like Arteta). That isn't to say ten Hag shouldn't face criticism but it actually needs to be based on the circumstances which he's in and not that of another club's.equally a lot of the criticism when other managers receive any praise is just sensitivity around Ten Hag
How are these related?Sep 24
Not the point, the point was the level of vitriol and mockery other managers receive on here seems to be a tactic to defend our own manager. It applies to almost every manager in the league, I just picked out a couple of examples of managers who have become figures of hate on here for seemingly no reason.Bielsa got found out and his team relegated.
Poch was ultimately screwed by Spurs not signing players.
Wow, look how good he is 3 weeks in. Another manager who implemented a style quicker than Ten Hag the shit house, bald Cnut. Almost as if pretending new manager bounces doesn’t exist.How are these related?
Agree, which is why the “but Klopp/Ferguson took x number of years” defence rhetoric is equally laughable, but alas.Bielsa got found out and his team relegated.

Not sure what that's based on, because he hasn't achieved anything at a top league yet.I actually criticized him in my previous posts for his suicidal high line when they were playing 9v11 against Chelsea and also thought that he was starting to get overrated after Spurs were called title challengers after 10 games and Ange was considered to be the new Pep.
But despite all these things, he's still a really good manager and has proven himself to be better than midtable/Europa League level.
I actually praised him and the way Spurs were playing a few weeks back. But I thought the hype was over the top and premature by comparing him to Klopp and Guardiola.Some people get very precious over a manager getting praise for a good early start.
Nah… my post was right for 2 separate conversations mate. Someone was saying best manager in the world now. I said he isn’t even the best in the league. But then someone was saying how bad he is or something after losing a couple of games and my point was that he’s still further then what everyone expected from him. He’s implemented a style of play a lot quicker then it takes some managers. I’ve never once said ETH should be sacked. I’ve always defended him. Like last night I was saying everyone wanted Howe but Newcastle are losing games, ETH is winning games with halve a squad injured. Other teams are losing games with only a few players injured. I’ve always been ETH in and still am.Wow, look how good he is 3 weeks in. Another manager who implemented a style quicker than Ten Hag the shit house, bald Cnut. Almost as if pretending new manager bounces doesn’t exist.
Wait guys, let’s not jump to conclusions after a bad couple of games, give it to the end of the season before we can judge him?!!!
Not just you and it’s a bit weak to be fair but picked it from random but that’s the discourse we have here now, the flavour of the month argument that posters will dig their heels into but when it goes wrong it’s never seen again. Eddie Howe shitting over Eric is another that’s put in the king grass, a lot of posters won’t touch the Aston Villa above us thread if they have a bad result today
Still playing good football, but three defeats in a row for small Ange.
