BBC stats show it looks good for city What's the bet that the vast majority of our 64% possession is playing the ball backwards and sideways among the back 3 with Pack helping out!

The hand of RO'D Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 We are a team facing a 7th straight defeat. How people think we were going to play neat, tidy & intricate football is beyond me. Keep it tight. I couldn't care less if it comes off of hegelers tegeler and goes in...

He's shown he's willing to try different formations and different personnel and he's not afraid to drop supposedly key players like Tomlin. Elsewhere I see others saying that he chops and changes too often and doesn't stick with the same team often enough. So how you come to a conclusion of stubbornness, I cannot understand. He keeps trying new formations because he does seem to have a clue of his best team or formation. It is hard to imagine what it is like for players who do well and then are out for weeks like Bobby Reid. Some days it might work but more through luck then any planning or clear thinking from Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly we need to make ourselves difficult to firstly score against and then ultimately to beat. That breeds confidence. I fear the constant changing of personnel and formation can be disruptive to the players. I'm not a LJ hater, I want him to succeed. I want every manager to succeed, if our manager succeeds then the club ultimately is successful. It's the one objective everyone has in common Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he can't be accused of being stubborn if he is chopping and changing... if he was he'd be sticking to the same rigid formation which is what Chips Red is getting at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also don't understand people who want Warnock here when you know his prime weapon in getting results is training his side's to feign injury, waste time etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's brought these players in for that formation as you suggest I hope he sticks with it over a run of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 One of the worst halves of football I've seen us play. Honestly painful, Shape very wrong. 6ft 6 striker and not even playing wingers to cross the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what people were saying a game or two ago. He's a luxury player that doesn't do as much defensive work as the others and thrives on having lots of space. Not someone I'd necessarily call on for a tight, physical derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to his interview on twitter and why COD is playing: effort, enthusiasm and tracking back. That's why, LT lacks in Lee's view those precise attributes And those attributes are what we need in our parlous situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
