If we can see it, surely CFG heavies can too? And if they can, why don't they pick up the phone and tell van 't Schip to fix it? CFG have their thing about wanting to win in an attacking and entertaining way, which i think is part of the issue. Not that i have anything against it, it's just that there are certain times and certain games where that should not be prioritised over simply winning the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this, and there's no better example than Man City themselves. The commentator after the game last nigh was good and he also pointed out how Man City play such an attacking game in Europe against top opponents and fall short. Seems we will also be a part of that system unless they change. FWIW I am loving how we play, but some common sense must prevail for moments and games like last night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the outs and the players coming back from injury, a more defensive or 'protective' of our backline, formation should have been used.

wombegongal Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Honestly I love the guns blazing approach. When we have played turtle ball and won ugly every second arm chair commentator is incensed that we didn't score 5 and boss the game. Honestly nothing pleases people on here.

Don't pay too much attention to the arm chair comments. Person 1 wants the coach sacked because he didn't do x. The coach does x and person 2 wants him sacked as a result. Heaps of history of that on this forum. like what you like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been saying for years, if we want to attract people to the club we need to 1- not be borning and 2- win. One out of two aint going to cut it. If we have to lose i would rather it be an exciting game like last night but that scoreline was very very flattering for us. We were comprehensivly beaten and had it not been for individuals pulling rabbits out of hats it would have been a disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good team puts the foot on the oppositions throat when they can dominate, but a good team also realises when they've got a battle on their hands, adjusts as necessary, and finds a way to win. "All guns blazing" means you can quickly run out of ammunition. 3 points always shuts up most critics - no matter how it is achieved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus-28 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 That was some of the most inept coaching I've ever witnessed. We were continually getting raped out wide with our wing backs too high up the pitch. Switch back to the 4-2-3-1 would've given us more protection out wide by simply pushing Malik into the middle and putting Fitzgerald on the right. If it wasn't for the individual brilliance of Fornaroli, Mooy and Novillo we'd probably be the worst team in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to that and throughout the first half a change should've been made, it was pretty clear it was a weakness. Be it Franjic moving to the wing and Retre to RB or vice versa.

I have to contest that ; the manager's job is to have the players at peak physical and psychological levels, it's his job to have them "intune" for the match if they all played badly then they were not "ready" for the match , like most top level sports, it's not just physical fitness and stamina that win a match/ trophy its the the top two inches of the head that play an important part our guys didn't use that , and by the looks of things were given either no instructions or the wrong instructions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cityamatic Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 With this squad we should be winning the comp or fighting to win it, not getting beaten by a team that has won at home 3 times in 12 months. I am hoping CFG recognise this at the end of the season as well (if not earlier). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I read today that we are the only team in the competition this season not to come from behind and salvage at least one point. Also that we've given up no fewer than 11 points from being in front on the scoreboard. IMO these two facts show that there is a complete lack of bottle in the squad. I agree with the comment above that it is the manager's job to have the squad in peak physical and psychological condition for each match. No-one else's. As for tactics, well as far as I can see we are being outplayed every week now. I don't care what formation formation we play, but for goodness sakes don't push our last line of defence so far up the park. We could be playing 1-9-1, but if the 9 are all on the half-way line then we're still going to ship goals every week. Bitterly disappointed with today's result. We can change the squad all we like, but with van 't Schip there we will never win anything. Please let us get a new manager for next season who can knock this club into shape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strider Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Guys, let me make it simple for you all. We have conceded the second most goals in the league. Our manager plays 3 at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
