Problem with Ange is that he is more concerned with his 'football philosophy', 'development of the game' and trying to be some sort of modern day tactical genius/guru rather than being a pragmatic, results based international coach. He completely screwed it up in Japan last week. Just friggin defend for a draw like 99% of international coaches would have done dammit. His squad is very very average and is simply not good enough for him to play 'his' innovative tactical games with. Those who have followed his career will no doubt remember that most of his Grand Final wins (6 in total) as a player at South Melbourne (NSL days) and during his coaching stint there and at Brisbane had massive amounts of 'luck' involved i.e. crazy last minute winners, shoot out wins etc. The football gods certainly looked after him at the time.....big time. Maybe it has given him and the soccer community here a false sense of his achievement and ability. Last night luck didn't go his way like it has in previous important occasions and he was possibly exposed. He still deserves to see it through I reckon. Maybe a bit more realism rather than idealism from him in the upcoming play-offs.
