That was probably the worst passing game I’ve ever seen from a professional footballer in 35 plus years of watching City. I think you only have to go back months, not years, to the Millwall game, for a worse passing performance, and from 10 players all on the same night!

DirtySanchez Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Very negative comments - where is the positivity?!!!!!! West Brom wages - ex premiership - we are no where near that but 3 points outside the playoffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both looked excellent. Don’t know about that Stan. They both had decent debuts, but I wouldn’t say any of their performances have been “excellent”.

Would Walsh and Morrell have had better seasons up to this point? I'll give you all good odds on Massengo going out on loan because "he needs a run of games" in the next couple of years.

If none of them have any composure on the ball and an ability to pass 10 yards to a teammate it matters not how many are in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagy at Brum was decent. Not excellent by any stretch. Just a decent enough performance. Massengo at Derby was good. It was a good team defensive performance. We took our few chances and were under the cosh for the whole 2nd half and defended well. In neither of those games were those 2 consistently holding the ball in midfield, retaining possession, passing 5-10 yards and keeping a tempo. Both were defensive performances. My issue with the pair of them, but Nagy more so, is that he doesn’t have the composure or technique to play a possession based game. He’s a runner. He has a basic technique.

Lez Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Nagy class v QPR and very good away at Charlton when we changed shape. Either way both players well off form or ruined by LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play the excuse game all you like but it’s up to them to step up and raise their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Nagy speaks really good English, but does he speak and understand really good Johnson? Only saying, because it is a bit of a coincidence that both the aforementioned players have appeared to have taken a step backwards since signing for BCFC.

Lew-T Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Liam Walsh and Joe Morrell really shouldn’t have anything to worry about when they come back for pre season this summer. Massengo is still a good prospect but Adam Nagy looks a really poor buy so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talk Of The Town Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Currently they’re both too lightweight and the speed of the championship is making them look ordinary. No better than Walsh & morrell imo. ill be surprised if Nagy is here at the start of next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuber Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Unpopular opinion. As the season has progressed we're playing more and more 'anti' football. Movememt off the ball has got worse and worse as season has progressed to the extent that imo we could play anyone in midfield be it Nagy or Barry Bannan, and still look **** while in possession. Lack of Identity and gameplan is crippling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
