MelksRed Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 (edited) I cannot see how we transition from the back to the attack....we move at speed, have the impetus and then stop of the edge of the box allowing their defence to pour back and defend. The midfield is largely non-existent and our strikers are toothless tigers.....mcNally is an unlikely scorer today. Content with the draw....just need to understand how Manning is going to glue this team together. Not sure he actually knows what his best 11 are.

RedRock Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 If we play Manningball you must have the front players to unlock opposition defences that have all the time in the world to get their numbers and organisation in place while we fart around with the ball in our defence/midfield. We haven’t got those front players with the necessary speed of thought, craft and guile to unlock tight defences, hence it’s like banging one’s head against a brick wall. We do the simple things well, but simply haven’t got the ability in the final third to do the hard thing - scoring. The back four is looking increasingly dodgy too. Need a reset, with or without Manning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Reliant on crosses - for all the possession, passing, retention, etc etc etc. The end result is the same. Playing to the byline, forcing crosses into the box, the gritty stuff. No different to what it was under the 'unfashionable' older coach they kicked out. We said changing philosophy would be difficult - we said it was stupid considering where we were. Sorry. I didn't buy LJs waffle. I didnt and dont buy Tinnions bollocks. And I don't buy Mannings utter bullshit. Latter two need sacking. Along with Twine. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityCiderEd Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 If performances carry on like this (last 2 home games against teams with only a few points between them) we will be in a relegation battle for the rest of the season. No recognised goalscorer, a winger that is totally clueless, our so say star man unable to live up to the hype that brought him here. Our style of play is non existent,defo not the front foot promised. Goals win games but where the hell are ours going to come from? The odd few from mf will obviously help but until we have someone who scores from a decent ratio of chances we really are going to struggle. Unless Mayulu is given a run upfront with Armstrong possibly wide left and Yu on the right the best we can hope for is a single goal win...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted October 6 Author Share Posted October 6 Immediate post-match thoughts, a point that we barely deserved, TBH Cardiff should have won that. They had at least two or three great opportunities to score, one in the first half and a couple after they went ahead and really should’ve put us to bed. Given that we were at home, they haven’t won this season and this was only their second away point of the season, they looked the more likely to win that game, IMO. As a City fan, that was hard to watch, as usual, under Manning, our instinct was to go sideways or backwards instead of any creative/forward play. In the end, I was pleased that we got the point, but that really is not good enough and the style of Manningball is not in the least nice to watch. I mentioned ‘recurring themes’ recently and they were there again for me, AM = poor decision making, SA = big and strong but not likely to score ST = largely ineffective. Hope Cam’s injury isn’t as bad as it looks. Given our up and coming run of fixtures, Boro and Stoke away then Leeds at home I’m concerned. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are so far off the required level now, we really have to worry about a relegation battle. The crowd will have enjoyed that? We “had a go” once the game looked done. Kitchen sink comes to mind, at one point Zak had the ball and the shape looked like 4-0-6 there was no midfield.

Spike Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 1 hour ago, Red Exile said: Personally I'd give him time - but a break from the first team. It's a bit embarrassing. I'd love him to be the opposition striker. The very definition of 'hit and hope'. I get that, I see potential in him if he can improve his technique when shooting. Semenyo had a god-awful touch at times for us, so much so that a lot of our fans wanted him out of the team and with the right coaching he's now a very desired Premier League player. Armstrong has a lot of qualities, he's big, strong, good at hustling players who try to run with him and he makes moves that create chances, it's just a shame how much his finishing lets him down at times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why is no one calling him out on it? We have had 15 or more in 4 games. So in the majority of our games we have had less than 15. We average 13 shots per game. 16 shots today and only 2 on target is nothing to celebrate. He fails to mention that Cardiff had 15 shots today. I expect these shot stats to decrease even further against the tougher opposition to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
