Just for fun: City's midfielders attempt to tackle like (please fill in the missing words)

[Curr Avon]

.....a holidaymaker dipping his foot in the freezing sea at Weston (Oooh, not for me).

[big dosser]

they got legs made of a cross between pot noodle and spaghetti

[Frenchay Red]

Lee Johnson

Or, City's attempt to string five consecutive passes together when four are spot on, while the fifth goes out of play or straight to an opposing player... 

[Davo370]

Pass across the back line followed by a punt down the line to no one in particular.

They attempt to tackle, like our strikers attempt to take on a defender and shoot at goal. Eg: no attempt.

[Silvio Dante]

City’s midfielders attempt to tackle like they crack all

The beers out in the room before the game

Waving legs like wind socks and feeling all lame

Citys strikers attempt shooting like they putting

A small amount of effort so not to feel the strain 

Four out on the pitch but the balls not in range

Citys manager attempt tactics like he’s lacked it

At any time in life and formations gone all strange

English coach assistants don’t help the brothers aim

Citys goalie attempts saves like he’s good.

He is.

Thank Christ.

No way can you imply Nagy doesn't look to get stuck in.

He is, it must be pointed out, the exception.

We are apparently well known throughout the football world has been a bunch of of of sissies.  We tackle like girls on the rare occasions that we do. Most of the time we just seem to run away like cowards.  It's a very distressing trait that we have and will never get anywhere in this league as long as it continues.

Really?  I’ve seen him dangle his leg in, or not engage countless times.  He’s lightweight, and I admit his game is not about getting stuck in, but intercepting, nipping the ball away....but I’d never put Nagy in the category of “getting stuck in”.

No inserted words required. Just a ####ing tackle will do!

Never seen such a soft bunch of fairies in all my life. No wonder we top the fair play league. Nice old BCFC once again. 
Said it several times down the years. We are a soft touch from top to bottom. 
Until we get ruthless and set up aggressively to compete we’ll never succeed.

They are being very clever if they don’t tackle they can’t get injured that’s the instructions 

[redsquirrel]

tackling like betty boop on the dancefloor
