old_eastender Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Playing Twine LHS has completely unbalanced the side. He simply has to play Twine in the no.10 role and pair Bird with Knight. As it stand we have nothing on the LHS, so opps can double up on RHS giving Sykes nowhere to go. Play Armstong on the Left (Mehmeti simply is not good enough) and Fally down the middle.

This is mannings squad, he chose these players and implement the system. We spent all summer chasing a 10, and we play him on the left. The bloke is tactically naive and out his depth. Manning was chosen to produce a team to deliver what the Chairman and Technical Director wanted. Don't expect to see them holding their hands up. Sadly think LM will be with us for a while yet - unless others admit they've no idea what they're doing (which they haven't). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Eustace worries about the principles of play. Could have done with him as Nige's successor. Simple goal, all Fally's fault though I'm sure - gotta drag him when Knight, Williams, Sykes, Bird and Twine were dreadful in the first half. It's got to improve or it's going to get real toxic. The second we sacked Nige I wanted him. No frills, but more of an actual coach, but got the remit, and he's turning Blackburn around now. Another missed opportunity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 (edited) After a 3-0 mauling last game it was reasonable to expect a reaction with two weeks on the grass for most of the squad. The reaction we got was as bad a performance as you could wish for. If this doesn’t turn round a bit in the next month Manning will be lucky to be in a job here tbh. He will have had a year in charge, 10 games this season and that today and second half last game is way short of where we ought to be. I said we are nowhere near top 6 a couple of weeks ago and today just proved it even more. We look like a bottom six side right now. One win in 6 and conceding g goals for a laugh. It’s poor, no two ways about it. Big game next week. Edited September 14 by Numero Uno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because people don’t myopically state all the club do is great, which is your default stance, it doesn’t mean they don’t support the club. In fact, I’d argue being critical when things are wrong makes us bigger fans as we want things to be right.

pongo88 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I watched from 35th min on Fawanews, which isn’t the same as being there. I found it difficult to determine any real shape or style of play from City. It was lethargic, as though City had just played 3 matches in the last few days, rather than having a two week break. I had a tiny bit of hope when City burst into life in approx the 64th minute but that was it. Can anyone who was there say anything positive about the performance? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
