Davefevs Posted February 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 City 433 Cardiff 5221 with Ojo breaking to get ups with Moore. City front 3 and midfield 3 narrow in the main. Cardiff just pinging from back and WBs.....creating a 4 v 3 against Williams, Lansbury and Massengo....and completely taking our full-backs out of the game....almost making in 11 v 9. I can just about see City's plan, but executing against the wrong opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 I wouldn’t call it a masterclass. I am sure you can pick out smaller details of it but it is still what Cardiff have been for the last 4 years. They batter the opponents box, protect theirs, time waste and draw fouls. We are never as streetwise as teams under managers like Warnock, McCarthy or Harris. They aren’t special tacticians but they know how to drill a team and with us having inexperienced head coaches we are always on the back foot against these types of sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you shed some light on this? I have not seen any plan for quite some time now. We pass it wide, then back, then wide, then back, get bored and try a cross field pass to the opposite wing or ping it towards Diedhou and lose the ball.

Greedo Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Weird how Cardiff appointed themselves a proper football manager and are winning football matches and didn’t just set the criteria for their manager search at “good human”.

Dr Balls Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 I would suggest up against the Zippy, George and Bungle (you choose who is who) that we have, any coaching team is going to look pretty clever. I thought the selection tombola had been put away after LJ left but clearly Deano knew were it was kept and has been giving it a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Route one. By-pass the midfield and/or take advantage of an out of position left back. An amateur could have worked that out. Hardly a masterclass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Exactly the way i described it in a WhatsApp to my brother. We've been almost naive to it. Once we play a bit, we look alright. Too many times this season we've been outfought on 1st and 2nd balls. Right to play and all that yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even sure how you could argue against it. Holden has less than 30 league games under his belt as the decision maker. 5 minutes ago, Robbored said: Route one.

Not much different from the last 5-6 times we have played them. Be nice if we learned from it one of these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 I'm not so sure it was a masterclass as such...seriously that second goal...even myself at my old age, would have had the legs to at least block the cross, or attempt to. Marrapia didn't move at all...just stood there, no attempt, nothing. I'd be raging at him. That's not coaching...that's contempt and lack of desire, call it what you will. I don't Cardiff have been great... we've just been shit. Our coaching staff have made some of the oddest decisions this season that I've ever seen. From playing 5 forwards, to blooding two new midfielders today, especially after we put in a half decent performance against Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 What about giving Cardiff the ball from our throw in and they score? We cannot keep the ball from our throw ins. Do we ever practice this aspect of our game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Cardiff have played this style for a few years now. There is nothing new here, long balls to a wing, pull the opposition across the pitch, switch play and cross whilst all the players are running back towards goal.

steveybadger Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 We needed our 3 to compete like hell against theirs and we picked a lightweight (with other attributes tbf) and 2 guys who haven’t played a league game this season. I said before the game I thought we’d run out of steam later on but we didn’t even get out of the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
