He wasn't that ******* good. A bottler who never scored, never won a header, only passed sideways and if his old man wasn't manager would've vbeen shipped out long before. Oh, and when he was shipped out, to the mighty hearts,, he failed. Nothing but a puppet... Hes not going anywhere any time soon so I am.

CityCiderEd Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Eliasso crosses a great ball but is so bloody lightweight.So easily pushed off the ball and can't tackle unless he uses his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what he does generally. He’s played ok in fits and starts . The amount of times he takes too many touches and runs into trouble is laughable . He does it every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Whether or not the boos were justified, I can't imagine Kalas and DaSilva are thinking they'd like to stick around now they've seen the toxic side of City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freezer Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 We've got 2 points from the last 5 league games. That's the worst points gain out of the whole league. Unless we have a significant turn around in form we're heading for a finish of eighth or tength if we're lucky. At the start of the season I would have been happy with that. BUT, looking at where we are now and the opportunity to push on we had by obtaining some real quality in January to back up Famara, I think, yet again, we've probably got it wrong again. Hope to be proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southend Blue Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Your poor performance probably made us out to be better than we clearly are. The very same thing occurred at West Bromwich on Saturday. Took one of your own players to get us on the scoresheet and even with key players out, we're essentially papering over cracks that resemble chasms. Bit of advice here, we've been inconsistent, underachieved and a poor team of the best part of twelve years. Wouldn't worry too much over random games that may derail your promotion chance. Obviously got to where you are now by picking up enough victories and doing something right since the start of season. Calling it a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Saturday's booing worked really well then, the players clearly taking on board the reminders that they are lucky to be doing what they're doing and not earning their 15 or 20k, and the message that people were pissed off, and using this as inspiration last night. Can't wait for the next home game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the blame must lay squarely at LJ’s feet. At no point was that ever working. At no point did we play good football. And we left it until the ******* 73rd minute to make substitutions - what was Johnson thinking? Why are we so shit so regularly? I assure you that if we play like that for the rest of the season (or like we have for the past half dozen games) then we’ll be nowhere near the top 6. I only ask that we’re not shit. Today we were ultra shit. As for that keeper... If I've understood you here, you are saying that the booing v Leeds Saturday was poor. It cannot have helped going in to last night's game. Ultimately - in the long run - booing your own team is an own-goal. It's thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Thick is watching your team be an absolute shower of shit and being in a position to change it but choosing not to until the 73rd minute. I’m not sure I can think of any other manager who’d have let that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Oil Services Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 The booing down Ashton Gate: they're justified, and they're ancient (it's been going on for decades). Any team or coach/manager here has to succeed despite the crowd, not because of, or with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSheds Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Yes agree total pants last night have we turned into s long ball team hit and hope. Ipswich looked good last night. Since the loss to Wolves we have not won a game. Forget the playoffs with a performance like that. West Browich sacked their manger after drawing with Ipswich Saturday and they were 4th in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Musicworks Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 It was an awful performance but to say categorically that LJ will never get us top 6 which is exactly where we are with 10 games to go. However to say that his managerial career reflects his playing career I have to agree with. As a player he helped us have our best season in the Championship and as a manager only his father has thus far done better. Still let’s not let facts get in the way of a good agenda. Do I think that we will finish top 6 ? On recent evidence probably not but neither did I think we would be top 6 going into the final 10 games. Whilst last nights performance was totally underwhelming the season as a whole has been a pleasant surprise albeit with the usual frustrations but largely over-achieving based on our players and resources compared to others. Surely LJ is a big part of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffolkcity Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 The biggest worry is pretty much every team around us has 2 games before we play again. We'll prob 8th or 9th by the time we kick a ball again. Winning last night was vitally important and we couldn't even do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just always seemed bizarre to me that people boo their own team. It's only ever a minority though. ..Trust me..No player goes out to play badly and booing then makes them worse...I think some people actually enjoy us preforming badly ( 6 th) atm as it allows them to vent off at LJ.. so yeah...We're 6th with a few games left a tired team and injury problems but you carry on.

Jacki Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I can understand the booing last night more than I could on Saturday. I don’t agree with it, but given the context of who we were playing and the nature of the performance I get that some people will have felt the need to vent. What I find almost amusing though is the bile being thrown around again now at Johnson by all the usual suspects, most of whom reluctantly praised him when things were going well. There are plenty on here who simply don’t like him, and pile in at the first opportunity. We need some perspective here in my view. Johnson wasn’t a world beater when we were winning, and he’s not a clueless clown now. On balance, he is a good Championship manager who has this group of players in a position that we all would have taken at the start of the season. What’s infuriating about the teams that he manages is the extremes of form that seem to happen every year. I don’t subscribe to the view that he’ll be doing anything fundamentally different now compared to a few weeks ago when we were winning. He’d be mad to do that The real problem for me is that we have a few players (Brownhill, Pack, Diedhiou) who we have no reliable cover for and they’re all knackered. This could have been better addressed in January, but whatever the wrongs and rights of it the Lansdown way of doing things makes it hard to sign players in that window. It’s frustrating, but it’s where we are. The fact that we didn’t strengthen and provide some cover could well be what derails us this season.

oldstandrobin Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 What p*ssed me off more than anything was I renewed my ST in the afternoon, and believing Sat was a blip, happily plodded to AG last night with optimism. After watching City for 60 years................................will I never learn !!! LJ has now been here 3 seasons and I watch him throughout matches, constantly arguing with the 4th Official and not seeming to be inspirational to the team. If I was Matty Taylor, I would be cheesed off with his constant call to arms when it is too late, and as for Fammy. Jury still out with me. All LJ can say in post match was about Ipswich current run of form. Wonder if Pep instills this in his team . I doubt it. Roll on May and a bit of respite for all City supporters.

You do make a good point in that Johnson spends half the game in the 4th official’s ear. Has a decision ever been changed by the 4th official because he’s told him it was crap?
