We were very lucky for a 3-2. Could and should been much worse. Back 3 + behich were very poor. Germany didn't let us in at all in the first 35 mins and well if they were sharper would have killed the game then.
Ange needs a better plan, especially since teams will shut down mooy.

So is Ange becoming an arrogant prat for persisting?
I suppose the argument is when you try a new player you give them a few games to get comfortable and the same for this system. Was better but not good last night.

The fact none of them play it at club level or have played it and the Asian cup formation seemed to suit us puzzles me. Also Sainsbury is the only one i feel comfortable with playing it.

If the best teams show you the weeknesses then you know what neess work. Personally it means it's not working for us.

Cameroon should have scored from a cutback on a play that was almost identical to the Germany goal.

Rogic has been really good but needs to work on his passing tonthe strikerbor winger, otherwise his dribbling and shooting are top notch.

Gersbach was decent but if it's Juric put the cross low if Timmy put it high.

Not talking specific players. Gersbach is the best of the 3 he's tried at LB imo.
I purely mean formation. It is not working. It's not suited to the players we've got.
My formation would be a 4 2 3 1, 4141 in defence and 4 2 4 in attack. That is what suits the squad he has picked.
It's arrogance because there is no pragmatism about his decisions, the regular quote is we'll play how we want to play. Problem is it's not aleague or Barcelona. We are a third tier national team.

Yeah agree with you was just trying to give the possible reasoning why he will stick.

Gersbach was good but Bachich hasn't been bad but Gersbach has a better cross which is what Ange needs. Smith only plays because of his pace and crosses but they play more like wingers to me

I see no reason to have moved from the Asian cup setup, played really well and there was a clear difference in quality between us and the rest (except South Korea). Haven't been the same

I am also feeling huge arrogance from Ange. Now things aren't working and he's being called on it he is not liking it one bit yet he claims that's what he wants. Either be honest and say they are playing poorly or shut up with being criticised
