What the heck are you talking about..
at the 1:51 mark they were clearly at the ready when men posted on the Scorpions ready to fire..
As for the sails...
The knew that all of Dany's fleet was destroyed...
They were going to engaged in a Stationary battle.

and this battle... was against a Dragon that breathes fire..
Why would you have a Massive sailes in a pure fire fight against a Target that you needed to be in a Stationary position..
This is different from last week when they going against another fleet and needed maneuverability.. They knew the dragon was coming to them..
Their change in battle tactic made sense... against the threat that they anticipated was coming... Dany didn't have such change.
Dude, I don’t know how many different ways people need to tell you...
They got caught off guard.
Euron is the Captain.
The Captain calls the shots & fires the Torpedoes (or the Scorpion Arrows in this case)
When they ambushed her last week... Euron himself had his finger on the trigger. Guess why? Because he was a Captain who was ‘ready for battle’ last week. That’s why.
But this week, he was caught off-guard and wasn’t sitting in the chair to fire the arrows himself. That’s how you KNOW they got Ambushed. They don’t have their sails down. They are not in the harbor, in any kind of cohesive / tight ‘battle formation’
... or a blockade formation
... or even a semi-circle... they didn’t set no type ‘perimeter’ with their ships
... and the Captain ain’t even got his finger on he trigger.
They just sitting in the harbor.... all Willy Nilly.
In a disorganized mess.
(but when they attack folks at sea... they organized as fuck
)
By the time they realize what’s happening the rest of them dudes got to ‘swing around’ to try to get a good shot... but just last week... they didn’t have to ‘swing around’ because they were rest for action, from jump.
(Umm... if they did NOT get ambushed & they was ready & waiting for her... then why the fuck are their Scorpions pointed in the wrong direction? Do tell?
Why do they have to ‘swing around’ to get a better shot? When just last week they could fire without needing to do that at all?
)
These guys could not manage to get off more than a single shot.... because they got caught slipping.
Simple as that.
You mean to tell me that you believe that Euron Greyjoy didn’t want the honor of shooting down Drogon himself??
Not just giving the order... but pulling the trigger. Literally.
Of course he did.
He’s the first man off the ship, when they attacked Yara and Theon.
He’s got his finger on the trigger when they attacked Rhaegal.
That’s exactly ‘how he rolls’.
You KNOW when Euron is ready for a fight.
It’s OBVIOUS as hell. He ain’t Timid. Or checking the skies through his outstretched fingertips.
He’s gonna have his ‘game face’ on. And be Ready to Rock. They been showing you that’s his nature.
But he wasn’t ‘in position’ when Dany swerved thru.. and by that time... it’s too late to ‘change gunners’ after the first shot is fired.
You simply refuse to accept that they were caught slipping. Sure, I get it.
