I was hoping TGH was going to come on and replace him, especially as he was on a yellow. For me her is a Pack type player, good enough, but slows us down, speed of thought is too slow and offers nothing going forward. I’m not saying he is a bad player, just does not support the way I’d like to see us play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Exile Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Joe Williams - amusing but ill disciplined. How utterly unprofessional was that challenge? Hey ho. Some good signs.

Kibs Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Absolutely scandalous from Joe Williams, which really took the shine off a decent away performance. Abit more quality required in the final third, which we knew before the game but it was nice to see us take the game to Hull as often as we could. Real positive is the two forwards (Armstrong and Mayulu) who were both very good in different ways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome back everyone to those gut-wrenching feelings that only watching City can generate! on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 = utterly) how frustrating a result was that?

That’s what I initially thought, but definitely a pen, you go in like that you absolutely have to win the ball, anything less then you clatter the player in the box. That said Williams should have been much closer to him in the first place, so 2 mistakes. Our issue remains the final 3rd still, shit decisions and poor crossing. Does Scott Twine have some dark magic about him that enables our wide players to actually get a decent cross in? Else he’s not going to be our saviour. Decent crossing and we perhaps should have had 2 or 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) Not as bad as many are making out. The approach play was a definite improvement on last season, the final most important bit was as bad (not worse) imo. Get a Number 10 in and we’ll cause teams problems and score more often. Armstrong put in a very good shift and Fally is up and running. Back four pretty solid overall. Let down by a couple of poor decisions, particularly Williams who should be given £100 cash and told to get the train home!! Bird is a very good replacement for James but overall our recruitment is not screaming top 6. The hierarchy must be able to see that some quality incoming will make the difference. Over to the TD to do his job rather than reposting shite on X………. Edited August 10 by Numero Uno 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
