I don't need to listen to Gary Owers (much as I like him), I was there & witnessed it with my own eyes. Max was my MoM, but everyone played well. Their bench was worth > £70m, we were never going to prevent them making chances (today was the 1st time they've failed to score since Nov). We played well today & could/should have had a pen before any of their chances. It was a good game, you couldn't argue against a draw but I don't consider us lucky to have won. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcredandwhite Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I’ve said before on here and on other forums that IMHO Liam deserves to be given a chance to start next season with his players. Whether they will really be HIS players, or players he’s been told to work with by the COO (possibly like LJ was??) is something I don’t know, but he should be allowed to start the season at least. We seem to play better against better opponents - today’s result was fantastic. Yes Vardy wasted 2 great chances, but we had 2 strong penalty shouts too and their keeper made a great double save. Can we keep the same self-belief going into the Plymouth game? That’s the key. Manning in for me - for now. As with all clubs and managers there comes a time when a managers job becomes untenable, but we have not reached that point imho. I’d stick with him, rather that another gamble on yet another JL/BT unknown appointment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if many City fans went home today thinking Max papered over the cracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo1111 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 3 hours ago, gibbo7 said: Much better today. Now twine is back we will be better against teams in a low block. The team set out how they were today with 2 floating 10’s, Pring going down the outside and Roberts joining in with confidence and quality from defence will help us break these teams down. Judge Liam in these last 7 games when he has the players available that he’s wanted and brought in. Twine was his ace in the pack. Let Liam prove he has what it takes when he has the one player we all know the squad needed and has been unfortunately unavailable. Next season add a real championship quality all round physical striker I think he will do well. I think that’s fair. Today was good let’s see how we go from here then against sides that sit in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original OTIB Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 (edited) 1 hour ago, The Original OTIB said: Good win both, but Saints and Leicester both in shaky form when visiting. Played both at a good time. Ok, "form" poor choice of word re: Saints. Hindsight argument given that they lost 2 of next 3 in the league, but had been very, very open in recent games, noted by fans, and made 4 changes for the game, perhaps with an eye on the friday fixture with WBA. Notion was that run had to end and coming fixtures likely given how set up. Edited March 29 by The Original OTIB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I look at it is we played as well as we can given the players we’ve got against a team with £40m players. For us to beat Leicester it’s a given that Max needed to be on point and he was. To people saying “lucky” it’s his job to give us a 9/10 every now and again!! If Liam could deliver “as well as we can” on a more regular basis we’ll all be happier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38MC Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 (edited) What’s probably getting lost in the maelstrom of opinions, and I say this as someone very vocally Manning out so probably a bit of praise hunting here, look we’re all willing to give praise and credit where it’s due. now I’ll hunt some face palms but the Pearson out brigade weren’t quite so generous - Ian looking at you Edited March 29 by 38MC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman Mao Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 (edited) Just give him a summer. This endless desire to chop and change benefits no one. He's been here 5 minutes.

The Journalist Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 If we play with that intensity and aggression every game Liam Manning won’t have any problems. But we haven’t been. We’ve been powderpuff, we’ve been negative and we’ve sat off teams. Often poor teams and in front of our own fans. And our level of intensity and aggression has nothing to do with the opposition, that’s down to us. We won’t always get it right and that’s fine. But he has to learn from today. That is on him. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority would have been happy for nige to get another three years to keep building , so I don’t think fans in general want to chop & change . It’s good to have stability. Unfortunately for manning , he’s come to a club with a largely pissed off fanbase & he’s hardly hit the ground running. Plus the ridiculous statements from the club did nothing but heap undue pressure on him. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watkins1983 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Great win today and a superb performance from the lads. Vardy off day not to bury some of those chances he would normally slot home every game, max superb in the sticks also. It’s another prime example of playing under manning. Great against teams who come at us and we can play counter football as has shown this season. We never had that ability before he came against the big teams in the league I don’t think? At the same time we can’t break teams down who sit deep under mannings style. So frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that after the Swansea result we weren't in serious danger from relegation. Sides lower in the table were playing each other so we were relatively safe. I think it needed an embarrassing score to get rid of him and after today's showing I don't think that's going to happen. The team played well and played for him today. Hopefully, the inconsistencies will not return as players come back from injury. I know we've had 'turning points' before but today felt more like a big plus.
