No, he wasn’t (imho).  He did several decent things on the ball / in challenges.

Yes, he lost his man for the goal, and got done by a great run from Afobe….after Kalas got caught forward following a poor pass.

But he wasn’t poor throughout (imho).

No need for the imho Davros.

Got beaten twice by two good players. Had Max stepped out a second earlier then he'd have been saved on the first, and had a moment of madness on the second, while trying to redeem himself for his earlier 'mistake'.

Fine margins, and easy for those who haven't really played the game to call that a bad performance (imho).

He did very well with his control and distribution of the game.

As NP said..he was in the right places at the right time.

Today was a prime example of when he's most effective as a goal scorer.

No time to think...just react. It's when he's best.

Think his second goal was a proper strikers goal. And he anticipated and moved in a way I wish he'd do on a more regular basis.

For everyone of these threads praising him, there will be two after other games doing the opposite.

That's what you've got with Weimann.

If he was technically better he'd be playing for Austria. He hasn't in years.

 

 

 

Annoying bit is how true this is for him. 

Wonder if he's had any individual sports psychology work done. I love him to bits, but as soon as the instict gives way to the thought processing he struggles. 

Likes a tackle.

Likes a pint, likes a brawl, likes a scone, too.

Scott is too good to be playing here already. 

How about mandatory LSD on entry?

Absolutely off my rocker at present. Merry Christmas all you foul OTIB degenerates, and have a particularly merry new year. Drink lots, have fun, disregard everyone's thoughts.

Be good to one another.

Have a beautiful Xmas from the horrible shithole that is Southampton, St Mary's,

Dropped my phone and smashed it to pieces before kick off, so have no imagery to remind me of that night. 

The bloke next to me in S26 was imploring me to record it, and god I wish I had something left of it. I've never heard Ashton Gate as noisy and as terrifying as that, I felt like it was destined to happen. It was so loud, every single part of the ground was vibrating and perfectly in tune with the movements of the players - beyond football, one of the most oddly beautiful things I've ever seen live.

It still doesn't feel real, and if that makes us sound small time then **** it, I don't care. I watched that ball bounce past Romero and I will take that with me through the rest of my life.

But surely it's ok if the Coach gives them a trigger warning beforehand and the Club provides safe spaces for them to retire to if they don't want to hear shouty voices?

It seems to be working at universities ok...........

Actually, dismissing the thoughts and opinions of young athletes evinces autocratic coaching behaviour, which again is very outmoded. Most athletes want to have a dialogue with a coach, and understand why they are doing certain sessions, rather than jogging round a pitch endlessly with some despot in tight shorts and raybans screaming obscenities at them. 

Do trigger warning even exist? When was the last time you met a student or saw inside a university by the way? Just because it pops up in the Daily Mail doesn't mean it actually happens.

Even at LJs age, youngish, it must be a nightmare man managing players in their 20s and younger.

The world has changed so fast in recent years. 

Playing Professional football was like being in the Army...you went to war every game.

And in going to war...you fought...and didn't think about offending anyone. It was full on. Take no prisoners, win, say whatever to get results.

Now ..it's just woke central.

I'm really not sure how you go about it these days.

Didn't LJ say you had to put your arm around some to motivate and tell them how great they were, to get a result. Then others responded to a kick up the arse. 

How do you motivate multi millionaires, set up for life, to give a damn about kicking a ball. 

Woke central 

Answer is that you need more than a glorified drill sergeant. Archaic autocratic coaching styles have more or less evaporated because they are completely useless coaching younger players. All current academic research on coaching and learning processes says that the personality and style of a coach needs to mesh with a player. A generation of footballers who don't want to be shouted at unnessecarily? You need to adapt or you'll die off.

Move with the times or be consigned to the dustbin of history. 

Not all that new any more but cool and semi-recent nonetheless

Anyone got that clip of Fabian Delph explaining City fans singing "is this a library" to him at the Etihad?

So glad I got to see him play in the flesh.

****  off you pathetic ***

how ******* shit is your life that you troll on a forum?

If Max had got ahead during the race, then I'd have no issue. It's the fact Masi broke FIA regs to manufacture the end of the race which gifted the win.

It isnt even a Hamilton thing, I'd be angry with this regardless of who the drivers are. Like Robbo I support McLaren and Norris.

 

You still havent answered why you keep lying about Hamilton though.

(you're completely right tbf)

As always after a City win, the opponents reckon  they were unlucky or had an off day.

The champagne of victory: Reading other teams forums and sucking up the sadness as if by osmosis.
