Brave or naive? That seems to be the question on many people’s lips.

I say neither.

I believe it was a didactic method Ange has honed over the years. An exercise in trust, like the classic of someone standing behind to catch you as you fall.

Ange needs his players to *believe* and to *trust* and to see that the consequences of failure in his system are nothing to fear.

    @ravipatel @coys And I don’t think the point will matter at all. He’s already said this is a rebuild project that will take several windows to reach a competitive level. These early games have shown great promise, but nobody is under any illusion that the depth and experience is there to mount a serious title challenge this season. It’s possible, but highly unlikely.

      @ravipatel @coys Also, sorry to be nippy with you. Feeling, among many other emotions, a bit nippy after that game. Primarily proud of the integrity on show, but also annoyed and disappointed by the injuries and suspensions. But it’s early days - mustn’t expect too much. 😄
