I'd have 5 or 6 of their players over ours. I agree with you. We had some good chances, but overall they played much better, deserving to win. In our team, I save Magnusson,Abraham and Reid; Smith, Fielding and Golbourne were probably the worse ones. Quote Link to comment
JoeAman08 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Our form isn't that surprising. We didn't play great to start the season. We won ugly which is fine but as soon as Tammy's goals dried up the confidence started dipping. We are a quality side with 1 or 2 mistakes in them per game that get punished every time. We need to be a quality side with 1 or 2 mistakes per month. I don't know how you cut the mistakes out. I guess it would be better players. Who would've thought our most ample position we are probably at our weakest with CM. Only Bobby Reid has played consistently well all year but gets dropped when someone else gets fit. GON is mostly quality I think has just played a bit too much at times. They'd be my starting pairing from now on if we insist on 442. Bobby has proven time and time again he'll track back and help the team out and has the energy to do so. The attacking he's always looking forward and getting into good positions. How bad are we calling out for proper wide players as well. Tell me Van La Parra wouldn't be a gem for us. Their defense didn't look great either other than Smith. What a performance from him. Need Matthews to get to that level which he's capable of. Quote Link to comment

westonred Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 We were beaten by a better team its as simple as that That Mooy, Wells, Smith and Van La Parra were all superb. People on here rave about Pack and Freeman lets be honest they showed today they are not up to this standard of football Quote Link to comment

Stop overreacting to every defeat and find some perspective on what we currently are. We will win games and we will lose games, because we are a mid table side. My point is that at the moment we are NOT a mid table side in terms of the form chart. We need to act in January or the usual story in this league for City will be back on the agenda, i.e. being promoted with huge optimism only to fail within a very short time When you have supported City as long as I have then it is not a question of short term perspective but long term! 1 Quote Link to comment

Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 A truly clueless performance, I feel sorry for Wilbs and Tammy having to feed off of woeful scraps from a woeful midfield, IMO only them and Flint and Magnusson and maybe Matthews looked as though they had actually played the game before, our final ball is appalling.

pongo88 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 The last few games have been a reality check. Earlier in the season we had poor to average performances but picked up points due to Tammy's goals. This wasn't sustainable or he would have ended the season with 40 goals. The deficiencies in the team aren't new, just more obvious. Pre season there was a lot of optimism due to the large number of signings made, but too many can't even get onto the pitch. Patterson, Brownhill, O'Dowda, Engvall - what have they contributed this season? Quote Link to comment

We need to be playing 5-3-2 / 3-5-2 i think this formation suits our squad. Gotta be said that Hudders Mooy was class today, never put a foot wrong and looked like he had more time on the ball than anyone else.....premiership class! I've watched him playing for Melbourne City 2 years, (on Tv), class player as you say, Not going to get a game at Man City though, Huddersfield are very privileged to have him, would have loved him to be our player. We didn't have much if the ball, and did even less with it. We played well at Birmingham and came away with nothing, today we got what we deserved. We must pick up points st home now, any cushion has disappeared. 1 Quote Link to comment

Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 I will be very interested to hear LJ's thoughts today, I would think that he would be hard pushed to come up with a single positive, apart from the fact the end result embarrassingly flattered us.

samo II Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Poor game from us. Think the commentator said we've conceded first in 14 games? That's appalling. Not going to suggest a solution, but that is clearly a significant problem. I think Huddersfield were better, and deserved 3 points, but a big part of that is they are set up to get the ball into their dangermen as much as possible; we don't have the same focus - Tomlin and Tammy are feeding off scraps, and so we don't look dangerous for long periods. And I'm not sure Pack and Smith work as a two man midfield; I'd prefer one or the other with Gary O'Neil, or even Bobby Reid, who again showed he adds forward motion and movement to the side others don't. Plus our young Swede must be wondering what he has to do to get a game; why are we not throwing him on to see if he can make an impact? What's the point of our only forward on the bench seemingly not being an option is when chasing the game? Oh well; disappointing, but onwards and upwards. Could have been worse; Frankie could have (rightly) got sent, then we'd have lost by more, I've no doubt in my mind. Credit to Huddersfield; look a decent side. Well, except for the alice-band wearing prat in their defence - that cheating ***** can **** off. 1 Quote Link to comment

Sorry you misunderstand the points I am trying to make. 1. Our current form is not midtable and unless improvement occurs it matters not what the first part of the season was like. It is always difficult to halt a slide. 2. My long term perspective, of eight decades, is to suggest that the usual default position for City in this league is that slides are seldom halted for more than half a season or so - as last season Quote Link to comment

I agree about a work in progress, but come on Fielding, Golbourne, Pack, Smith, Freeman and Tomlin, were all shocking today and I personally believe that the 3 highlighted are not good enough IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment

Football is a ruthless game and i would like to drop both of them. The only problem is that if you drop Fielding you bring another goalie in who, in my view, is not as good which leaves Lucic... maybe it is his time.
