Robbored Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 There weren’t any positives today was typical City. Two very decent wins followed by a performance like today. What is about team below us that are desperate for points that City seem to lose to? As expected QPR stopped us getting wide and limited our midfield options and we just couldn’t find a way to break them down. I don’t recall Begovic making a save. It was all very disappointing……… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turtle Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Shirt was nice Robins tv was honest .......... Ends there doesn't it? We fell back into the ideology of doesn't work with this squad football. And got progressively worse by doing it badly. We were out coached: (it's ok to admit that sometimes) why. A. If we we were leggy, well that's no excuse. Been hearing all week about the new strength in depth. Leggy was a choice with all the modern data available. B. QPR begged Manning to play to his patience and chess ideology....and he did. Energy gone, in their faces gone, chess board on the floor gone. Take the lessons and be better ......... And as for the players, they just weren't at it. It was almost as if they believed their own hype a little bit. That because we were better , the better quality would shine eventually. Well it didn't, we allowed a team there for the taking to grow in confidence, and earn a comfortable win Take the lesson and be better ......... Tuesday was why you watch football, today was wondering why you bother sometimes. if you have your eyes on the playoffs you just can't be that extreme that often. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original post was also a little tongue in cheek, because it is a truism for 90% of ‘managers’. 1 minute ago, Sir Geoff said: Really ? Pulis, Osman, Lumsden, LJ Really. And that’s just my point: surely what we should want is for them to succeed: for the next game to be the one they turn the corner, to find the way for the Boro and Soton games to become the norm. Getting to the point where they’re sacked just means we’ve failed, and brings a whole load of upheaval. My view is that pretty much every City manager in my (long) time watching City has wanted what’s best for City and has worked to bring us success. I’ll support them in that as long as they’re in post. And yes, that includes Lumsden and most certainly includes LJ. Pulis wanted what gave him most money. Osman wanted what was best for Osman. So I’ll give you those two. But they are the exceptions that prove the rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
