LondonBristolian Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Only seen excerpts of the post match interview but two things stood out: 1) He was talking about the importance of team dynamics and the problems you get if one player is out of sync with the game plan. Is it reading too much to wonder if it is a dig at one or two of the players left out today? 2) He seems very confident we will sign one or two “quality” players during the transfer window. We shall see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 All those idiots on here who said pre match we need 3strikers-oh did we have 3 scorers today who play up front. This forum had so many numpties. We are a point off top 6 - please come on here and suggest a better manager we could get than Lee. Please do. Please do. We all loved the Lee bounce and real Ashton love-in with our manager today - must make those stay-away numpties who post rubbish on the forum feel very insignificant and foolish.

For me we just need one quality striker to play alongside Fam with Weimann as back up. I wouldn’t go all in for another striker till the summer, Fam deserves a run alongside a more mobile striker who can benefit from his hold up play.

Hopefully will help with confidence and maybe see us start building steadily- with each result, confodence will grow, hopefully the performance level will rise over time. Lot of good things about today but would still like to see us more dominant in possession. One step at a time though and this could be a useful first one...return of DaSilva very much helped too. Brentford will be a much sterner test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why undermine your case with name calling? Otherwise you have a point in that only Leeds and West Brom have scored more goals than us. We are short of options when it comes to strikers though, which is why we are said to want 2. So you and those who disagree with you (which doesn't make them numpties) are both right. A 1-1 draw then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Well said Bar I just find these whingers who cant celebrate a City win too laughable to take seriously Is it they dont go or they dont love City as our fans do? If someone thinks Hughton will come here then why not Klopp?! Its like saying we should buy one two or three top strikers? What really? Really, like they off the conveyer belt for free? Really? The game i went to today was excellent, decent opposition, great attacking play and 3 strikers all scoring for City. Get in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot disagree that we were crap in those 4 games (apart from 20 minutes against Charlton) surely? To use your phrase, 'here lies the issue'. I'm far too long in the tooth to expect to beat anyone but we couldn't have beaten an egg playing as we have been in those 4 games yet we know we can play a lot better. Thanks for the lecture though.

Red Exile Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 I'm not sure that a great deal divides the LJ sceptics from the LJ true-believers. Apart from those who delight in a bit of name calling. We all want City to do well. Some think LJ will deliver - and it's great to read their certainty - others see too little evidence to convince them...I'm in that category, and on reflection sometimes a little too enthusiastically so, when disappointment gets the better of me. I can't speak for others but if LJ turns out to be the messiah I for one will be fully converted and heartily repent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a rest, like the ones that only post when we lose you seem to be the opposite, doesn't make you any better than the ones that moan consistently, when we lose which even you must admit tends to be in patches what is wrong with being a bit peed off, unless you're a saint it's human nature.
