Review
This was not good. After 8 games Ange STILL hasn't got it right, Starting Taiwo Awoniyi seemed to be a last-gasp attempt to change things up but, thanks to two quick goals after half-time, it wasn't to be. And it wasn't to be for Ange, either. Mr Maranakis left his set with half-an-hour to go and, just twenty minutes after the final whistle, the end for Ange was confirmed. He never really fitted in and that's cost us a lot of ground to make up in the Premier League. We're in the relegation zone with tricky games to come, as well as needing a win in the Europe League. Better luck with Ange's replacement.
