Lew-T Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 The lad has taken a lot of criticism recently so I think it's only fair he gets a mention for a very good game. Back to his best hopefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I agree that he put in a much better performance today (as did a few others). Well done Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Might as well just copy and paste what I put in the other thread: Freeman was poor again today. He did improve towards the end of the game and put a couple of good crosses into the box but time and time again he was caught in possession, gave the ball away and poor first touch. There was audible laughter in the Atyeo when he was read out as MOTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Not my personal MoM but certainly by far his best performance in a very long time, excellent determination for our goal, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 No idea how he got MOTM myself. Thought Ayling or Kodjia who both had good games were more likely choices. We badly need a better option than Pack in midfield IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, SL said "we have not replaced Wade Elliot yet and that's somewhere we need to strengthen", so maybe he realises Pack (although steady) is never going to be great at Championship level, simply too slow.

1960maaan Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 To his credit he has never stopped trying and always played in the same style, never hidden. Today h was a lot better, he looks fitter and stronger than last year but the midfield as a whole are up against vastly better opponents than last year, and it's showing a bit. I thought Pack fpr the most part had a pretty good game, but then managed to hit some of the worst passes I've seen for a while ! The punt through to their keeper has no excuse or explanation .

Don't get me wrong I think he's a good player and does some things well but some of his passing can be way off! Some of his tracking back is poor too. What was that free kick about to the Rob Green? Just kicked it to nobody and aimlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree again Lew, he's not a bad footballer but I would be fairly certain it will be Marlon making way for this 'experienced' midfielder everyone talks about should he arrive in January. Korey is pretty much undroppable and deservedly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Here's the thing last week somebody started a thread about Like Ayling making too many mistakes and saying Moore should start and he got his wish at Derby and we shipped 4 goals. But I will make a little wager to charity, I study all of the goals that City score and concede and my wager is that more conceded goals are down to midfield than down to our defence, misplaced passes, missed tackles, not getting close enough to opponents, backing off conceding acres of space, backing off and then either them or desperate defenders making ill judged challenges in dangerous areas, backing off and allowing players on to their shooting foot and of course not picking up runners.

RedM Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Freeman looked more like the Freeman of last season, but not back to his best. Surprised he got MOTM, thought Kodjia who certainly looked rejuvenated just shaded Korey for that. Good team performance though, we looked sharper, quicker and more more hungry today. Played with tempo and confidence. I enjoyed the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping City sign a good creative player in January to replace him. In time he might develop into a good Championship player, but we can't afford inexperience and inconsistency this season.

Korey Smith is a good player but he's only scored 1 goal in approx 100 games for City. He gets into great positions and then immediately looks to pass the ball to someone else. If he wants to develop into a good Championship player he needs to work on this aspect of his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's not his job. Every good side has a quality defensive midfielder, and unlike our obvious deficiencies in other positions, so do we. Others need to score goals, not Korey, one league goal in the last five years tells you that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry FFS get over yourself, it was tongue in cheek, it's a pity that some people don't feel the need to show the same sort of loyalty towards our manager, instead of constantly shit stirring.
