handballbygordonparr Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 In all fairness to many of the posters on here there is still quite a respectable level of confidence around this forum. "If it wasn't for the Lino", "3 mistakes cost us" etc, "3rd goal destroyed us" etc - "at 2-1 we could have got the equaliser"! I applaud faith - but 1 shot on target in two games will not get too many points and will lead to a mid table season I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Gutted but not surprised . West Brom are a yo yo side with plenty of cash , a couple of ex England players and a massive wage bill . We’re light years behind them , they played with pace and power and outmuscled us all over the park . We set up to get a draw . Wrong tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep don’t know what happened there, just typed “hu” now and hi came up! wtf? Where Hull came from I don’t have a clue, but in the end it does not matter, we have got rid of anyone in the back room who may have challenged our HC’s decisions and for the moment the owner backs him. Despite the fact that he has failed in every department after fantastic backing! We are lucky the division is so open, we do have some good players and with better preparation and selection we could be deservedly challenging at the top, it’s not injuries that are the problem it’s preparation and execution and there is only one person responsible for that. its no surprise that he has angered some very experienced professionals playing for city! January will have to be a turning point for us, we can’t continue with our poor passing, poor ball retention, poor selection, poor game plan and poor planning - being average does not get us promoted!

Said before forest will be well adrift by NY but most will be happy with that. Right now, we need to pick a team and stick with it for a bit. I’d go: ................................ Bentley Pereira.........Williams........Kalas........Rowe .................................Nagy Eliasson...............Brownhill............O’Dowda .......................Weimann...Diedhiou Brownhill has the motor in midfield. Eliasson and O’Dowda can cross. Niclas can get forward and support the front two, O’Dowda has the ability to tuck in and cover. Nagy can help bring the ball out of defence. Out of possession, Weimann drops to LW and COD tucks in. Somehow, we have to get Niclas in the team. He needs Fammy as a target. Give us an identity, use width, crosses and Weimann’s pressing. Let’s see how far that can take us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 We got one goal. Eliasson corner and Famara scored. Its enough say about the starting eleven. COD good in defensive, kiss my ass am not blind. Hudds next, Bentley in goal, COD still nine places to fight about. No one want to buy COD when he was out of contract, managers and scouts see what LJ dont see. Its a wake up call for LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodjias Wrist Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 The football is dire and has been for most of the season. Think the table looks very favourable towards us. We have been lucky on a few occasions to get results. Didn't expect anything tonight and we always concede loads at hawthorns but I am beginning to lose patience with how we are set up to play!

So you then saying that people are allowed a different opinion suggests I have have an issue with that- which I don't.

ProfitInMyPocket Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 I thought Fam did well linking up play and took his goal well, Eliasson made an impact too. Just need to find a way to be solid and have these two on it. They really are our most dangerous players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Haven’t scrolled thru the previous threads but bottom line - LJ got the starting 11 completely wrong. He obviously had some kind tactical strategy but it backfired spectacularly. Second half much better with the changes he made but I can’t remember the last time I saw City give possession away so often. Got back into the game at 2-1 but conceded the third with sloppy play to essentially kill off the game. The fourth.....the coup de grace......

Baker certainly does not suit a back 3. Yep been saying it all season. Baker not in a back 3. Well, I don't really rate him in a back 4 either to be honest. That jogging back was pathetic. He switches off far too easily at times, and even when a player is one on one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Truly embarrassing stats from Sky tonight regarding Eliasson's stats and his status being only 16th in line or something silly. How long can this go on? Crazy. And before anyone says "the system isn't right for him" why does he EVER play then and why bring him to the club in the first place?

RedRock Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 My worry from tonight is not so much the result - already evident we are way off West Brom, Leeds, Fulham standards - it’s that we’re not very good. I knew we’re not very good upfront. The concern is now we don’t look very good anywhere - bar Bentley. There were some shocking performances and individual errors. Even greater concern though is there’s no shape, style or substance to our play. A hopeless, hapless performance on and off the pitch. We need to get back to basics, stop trying to be clever and get in some solid, cohesive team performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrongagain Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 If we started every game as though we were playing a team wearing blue n white quarters I would be very very happy and that is what we should be seeing every game, home and away - win or effing lose! We have a coach that still does not know his best team, where is the magic, where is the excitement? Come on ye reds we can be so much better, as someone else said it’s 2 years since we had a really exciting home game - Johnson will NEVER get us in the prem! dare I say Johnson out!

miketh2nd Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Season Over... lets all make this result bigger then it was.... West Brom at home are hard any time of season, lets not pretend we have the same players or ability to attract the same players on the huge wages... ( I could be wrong) I think we haven't found our best team yet but also we haven't been able to replace Afobe within the squad , which is quite unlucky!
