He had an occasional burst on the ball but was struggling to keep going up and down that wing. Weimann wasn’t great today and we could have used the fresher legs and different option of Eliasson imo. Also Diedhiou was done after 75-80 minutes and never come off. We had 3 subs and used one and it was a typical I screwed up and need to look like I am doing something change from LJ imo Clearly either not at the match or you’ve never played football. COD was nothing short of brilliant. Post 65 mins his defensive work was relentless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were you expecting against top of the league who score for fun? A club that pays comfortably 40-60% higher wages than we do. We were entertaining, created more chances than them, 7 corners to 1.

BobBobSuperBob Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Great / good / very good ........take you’re personal option At the very least we were decent / good It was not only he actual,interplay at times , but the ATTITUDE , working for each other , throwing ourselves into challenges COD running at them and cutting them up at times, Famaras all round game, Paterson near his best and Pack near his best Brownhill shooting , Kelly’s composure Lots of positives today , for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ is just mostly reactive when using subs, instead of being proactive. Same thing happened against Millwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 An 8 out of 10 performance until they levelled it and if the game had gone on 5 mins longer we would have lost I think. Great to see COD in the team as he should be. Shame we didn’t get the home win we needed but we have Brentford and Rotherham so play like that and 6 points likely outcome.

Most of that was down to O’Dowda, although I suspect he was picked to start as the spotlight was on. Big chance to impress on Sky tonight and enhance his chances of a January move if the rumours of him refusing to sign a new deal are true. After seeing him rip through Fulham at Craven Cottage last year, our team should’ve been built around him this year. Mental he hasn’t started more games this season when you see what he brings. Makes me question LJ. Inexplicable. He doesn't seem the kind of bloke to fall out with managers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. I said we weren’t great in response to the initial post. You told me to piss off. Fact is the only way you could say we were great is if you compare it to the crap we’ve had to endure for the last however many weeks or months. It was a decent/good performance. But let’s not get carried away eh? As for what was I expecting? Probably not that good a performance if I’m being honest. It was nice to see us not play shit For a change and I hope it continues.

bcfctim Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Lot of talk recently about us lacking identity but that felt more like 'us', today. More intensity, pressing, forcing mistakes higher up the pitch. Need to be able to replicate that against teams more inclined to sit back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Entertaining match. City played well and were the better side for two thirds of the game. Norwich finished stronger but were lucky to not go down to ten men when the ref bottled that second yellow. Diedhiou led the line well and O'Dowda caused them all manner of problems. Their 2nd goal was disappointing defensively for us - not sure why Diedhiou was left isolated. Once he'd slipped it was a decent cross, although their scorer did sneak in at the back post too easily.

Show Me The Money! Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 It was a very good performance, the frustrating thing with City is consistency. They can play games like today but we don't do it more often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there lies the problem, a tad "one trick pony" at the moment. Most teams from Xmas onwards last season have worked us out and we have struggled to come up with an effective plan B. When we are "allowed" to play we look a top 6 side, when we are up against a well coached rigid 4-5-1 who sit back and wait for us to make a mistake we look bottom 6.

Jerseybean Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 A much better all round team performance than many this season, IMO a draw was a fair outcome, the longer it went on the more Norwich looked like nicking a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brilliant and I have said that. Was knackered after 65 though. Wasn’t a huge shock the cross came in from that side for their equaliser.
