Great result and endeavor but for the board to think we have a top 6 side, really? Sunderland are 7th having lost 9 times and we are waxing lyrical about their team. I was thinking that they looked better all over the park than we did yesterday. Good result though, onwards and upwards.
I agree, when receiving the ball you should have a minimum of 2 options, one from the passer who creates an angle for him to receive it back and one you can pass to and support. The harder you work the easier it becomes.
I agree. Didn't naismith in commentary say that he is one of the best 1 on 1 defensive players in the championship. What frustrates me, is when he gets the ball, moves 10 yards with it, stops and then passes it back. I'm all for keeping possession but it slows all impetus down.
Someone I knew, was originally at rovers and ended up at Hallen. City played Hallen in a friendly not long ago and I asked him, who was the best player he ever came up against and he said Sammy szmodics.
I wonder what would happen, if we tore the rule book up and played naturally, no patterns of play, no following heat maps, just went out played like they were kids and went for it. You score 4 we'll score 5
For me, the first attack they had, showed what they had more than us. We don't seem to have anyone that can go past someone and drag people out of position.
The most exhilarating experience I have ever had in my life, especially after all we were hearing around the ground was, when will you ever beat the Gas, when will you ever beat the Gas.
