Bs4Red Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 48% - The pass completion rate of the whole Bristol City team today. Please just let that sink in. Just over 1 in 2 passes we’re misplaced. Now you can say everything about the coaching, tactics, manager etc. But those players need to look at themselves because on 5-30k a week that’s an abomination.

This is the problem I've banged on about for 3 years. We cannot pass or retain possession, but its ignored week after week, month after month. Nobody at the club will ever talk about it.

I’d also agree with this mate, however I could handle 70% but 48% if you include the amount the 2 cbs pass between each other anyway it’s unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the lack of any pace throughout the team, ball control, cohesive shape and movement in front of the ball. Plus has it has been said so often " don't even start me on throw ins" Not sure what are corner taking and shooting is like for obvious reasons.

1960maaan Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 would love to have the stats on how often our possession leads to a shot at our goal within 3 passes. It's as bad when we have a throw, I doubt we managed 2 passes after one of our throw ins. It drives me nuts. The number of times this year, we have good possession and under no pressure but pushing men forward, someone under/over hits a pass or misses someone no more than 5 feet away that leads to us conceding a shot or corner is ridiculous .

pl00peh91 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 If you consider that the pass completion rate between the goalkeepers and the defenders is going to be 90-100%, that would indicate that the pass completion rate when the midfield / attackers are involved is significantly less than 48%. No wonder we can’t create any chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardy Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 And ofcourse part of the reason for such a low completion rate.... Too many hopeful punts up towards a No. 9 who is no longer interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibs Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 It’s a vicious circle. They are playing so badly that they don’t want the ball. They don’t move and they hide making every pass more and more difficult. When they do get it, they can’t get rid of it quickly enough!!! If there’s no immediate option, you don’t see any composure, it’s just shear panic, get rid and smash it up pitch. We are not a team in any sense of the word. It’s like watching 11 strangers. No partnerships anywhere on the pitch, the defensive, midfield and attacking units don’t work together either. Ive honestly never seen anything like it whilst watching City.

TomThumb84 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I cringed my way through the commentary on Robins TV today where we managed to string three passes together on two occasions, and you would have thought we were Brazil 70.

We don't play as a team. We have lost our identity. So fragmented. It doesn't help when you have a pretty poor front line. Diedhiou needs old fashioned wingers attacking and crossing. His close ball control is hit and miss and doesn't work hard enough off the ball. Martin's played too much football for his age, was never meant to be playing week in week out and now he's crocked. Wells is a box player. Good luck with that as we rarely threaten nowadays. Won't track back and will now through lack of concentration and frustration give silly fouls away. Semenyo is one of those rare breed of forwards who doesn't score & lacks composure when shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRFTG Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Been banging on about this for months but too many hereabouts excuse youth and the like for incompetence. Our academy progeny are the worst of the lot, yet Tinnion can't see it. He too is a major problem and needs rid. I referenced the other night GoN talking about what they'd worked on with Curtis at Liverpool - being big and strong, retaining possession, not giving it away cheaply. City are powderpuff and that includes most of the sizeable units we have. Nagy aside none of our mids are up for a challenge. Softer than a box of Andrex. Distribution from the back is so bad as to be untrue. Taylor-Moore and Mariappa couldn't find a City shirt if they tried but today Sessignon was in a league of his own. He couldn't have picked out the opposition better had that been his intention. Upfront Semenyo's link play is on a par with his finishing (another game and not even close son,) but as abysmal as was his interplay so too was Famara's, then latterly, Wells, complete and utter disinterest. If you're not interested fellas, **** off and we'll save a few weeks wages. Partnership? Looked as if they'd never previous met each other. All three should hang their heads in shame; actually better they hang their boots up - FOR GOOD. That's now over 7 hours without scoring or even looking like scoring. Not youth, or confidence, nor luck. That's unadulterated lack of application and skill. Not scoring is one thing, not being able to pass to a teammate - inexcusable.
