cityfan Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Big clear out coming this summer, surely?! City were poor today. Very poor football and clearly demonstrates why they are where they are. If Mcinnes is to be a success, there needs to be a clear out of players that have been here for a while and have proved over time that they are not promotion material. Many of them are dicision two players or up to Scotland. The problem will be financing a new squad. Those coming in will no doubt be expensive, those going out will undoubtely fetch very little. We need to go for tried and proven which we haven't done in the past. A good example at this level is someone like Kevin Phillips. Not now, but a few years ago. He simply keeps scoring Oh and one more thing. We need to start playing football, ball on the ground and not so much up in the air giving the forwards half chances. I have been going to City for longer than I care to remember and regardless of the Manager and squad, seldom do we play football. Blackpool and Swansea are great examples of how to play it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpool and Swansea are great examples of how to play it Swansea are so boring, too many backwards and sidewards passes. Blackpool are more entertaining as they get the ball forward quicker.

Swansea are a great team. I would love us to be able to play like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrenadaRed Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 We all know we need big changes in the summer. Today the team did a job, as in recent weeks, how about we celebrate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the more direct style that picks up points. Jose Mourinho once said playing good football is useless, points aren't useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. It's about keeping possession, what all decent teams can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester United keep possession but they don't make pointless back passes to the goalkeeper etc, they play with a purpose. Yet they still dominate possession. Id rather us pick up points playing direct football than playing boring football tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Possession with a purpose- this is what is needed. However we can look to hit it that bit longer- may work in certain games. Also agree that the squad needs an overhaul. Think McInnes is the man but this summer will tell us much about his views on contracts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
