And with an infinitely inferior team to ours. Or could it be they've got an infinitely superior Coach?? Could the mighty Barnsley have persuaded someone who actually knows what he's doing to coach them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 As was said last night if VAR can't be used in every match up to the semifinals then it shouldn't be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Makes a nice change to see a prem team not chucking themselves to the floor every time they get a solid challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrick's Marvels Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Well played Barnsley. An absolute credit to themselves and their Coach - that's the way to go out 1-0 to Premier League opposition. Showed up our football for the turgid crap it currently is and our coaching for the inept nonsense it currently is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Fair play to Barnsley up against a top prem team they were everything we were not last night. Organised, up for it with everyone giving their all and not scared to death to have a go, a proper cup tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Barnsley played with a purpose, played as a team, pressed high up the pitch. Were well drilled and had good movement. Contrast that to our display last night which was very defensive and disjointed. Our forwards did not press high up the pitch and our only real intention was to try and Nick a goal and hang on. On paper we have better players than Barnsley so what was the difference? The difference is the calibre of coaching. We had a real chance of progressing playing the bottom team in the Premier League (which we would have relished a few season's ago) who are a mere 10 places above us but the reality is they may as well be 100 places above us such is the belief and coaching instilled into our players by our current coaching team. It makes my blood boil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes my blood boil. A significant difference can be the physical ability of players. Not all players can be conditioned to a level where they can press consistently and aggressively. Its not something that can be turned on and off on demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about Sheff Utd as well as you say a decent coaching team short of a next round v Chelsea as we have some quite good players but no plan and we dont know how to use them.

Street red Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 That's the difference between losing and losing badly if city played like that and lost a game I wouldn't have no complaints with our lot it's the matter of how we lose that gets me,So fair play to Barnsley last night and doesn't Woodrow look a different player than he was here think you might say it's called game time.

Amazing what happens when you have a plan and bring in an experienced manager. Only 3 points behind us now with a game in hand. They were 21st when he took over........we were 2nd. Well we will find out when they come to fortress Ashton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just don't defend from the front. As a consequence this puts even more pressure on the non existent midfield. There's an issue with three out of the four senior strikers; Diedhiou is not that type of striker. He won't work hard enough off the ball. Can you question his commitment as he hasn't sighed a new contract? A lot of coaches would not play him because of it. Martin is a target man and at 30+you can't expect him to play this type of press. Wells is a finisher and requires service. Outside of the box he is not so effective. Semenyo has pace and can play this way but is played out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
