yep agree with that.
The players are happy. What they aren't happy about is the groans every time we pass it backwards to recycle the ball.
Out of interest should we as paying customers be grateful for what we received last night?
No, but we should probably be more patient so that we have a better chance of avoiding ‘what we received last night’
A few boos, with the vast majority too bored to boo, Last night was down to the team and coaching staff full stop.
It's a two way street, the team performs then the fans back them, and bloody loudly may I add, but the fans need something to back, and sorry to say Critchley and his tactics are boring negative football, we won at Barnsley, but we were lucky.. and totally agree that most fans were too bored to boo,
Do Man City fans groan whenever they pass backwards?
Not with the outcome obviously, but it's a football match. You know the deal when you buy the ticket.
Not disagreeing with the overall sentiment but we weren't lucky at Barnsley - that was a good solid away performance. It won't cut it at home though.
Listening to Radio Lancs whilst ferrying the kids to different activities, our supporters were loud as were theirs for the first 15-20 mins, before boredom set in. It's a shame as after the away result, the fans were up for it last night. The football wasn't though. More fresh faces in January and farm a few out. I don't see what Sonny Carey brings to the team at the moment, and the sooner Connolly isn't played in defense the better.
What an absolutely stupid reply
No, they don't. But they don't have to suffer anything like the same high precentage of backward passes that we're being forced to endure. A key difference, wouldn't you say?
No, but it's still light years away from last season.
Yeah they’re bloody awful supporters they’ll moan if they’re 1-0 down I’ve been a few times there’s more atmosphere in Bloomfield road
total nonsense statement/question!
Agreed, there's a slight gulf in quality! The thing at any level is pace - any time that passes and moves with pace from one end of the pitch to the other generally does well - defenders will always struggle. Our issue is we're trying the possession and build up play, but then lump it or lose possession. At home at least we should be playing a high tempo.
Yes but they have been adapting to that way for a number of years, we have been playing this way for what 10 games?
Same with what you usually post.
I heard you in Hurghada!
Also, we didn't last night. Yet we did against Reading.
My bed time hot choccy had to wait until midnight due to the time difference.. more tutting
yep, and what about Port Vale and Orient and for 45 minutes at home to Burton. The poor performances comfortably outnumber the good ones. Bet hey, you carry on watching with your eyes closed. And please don't talk to me on what I post. You've made just 41 posts in three years and here you are comparing our style with Man citys with regards to passing.
But unlike Blackpool when City play it backwards they then have the quality to get the ball back up front most of the time it resulting in a goal or attempt.
That’s the problem, why play a system where you haven’t got the players to make it work, surely any manager should look at what he’s got and devise a strategy to get the best out of them. Attempting to fit square pegs in round holes is just plain stupid.
Regular viewer mate. Prompted into action by the overreacting nonsense written on here this morning and an initial post which I answered in part with facts.
more shiite from you. regular viewer but rare poster says everything. can see it in so many of your previous posts what your intentions are. so why don't you go back to being a regular viewer.
Wind your neck in.
Probably not.
We in my opinion were lucky to win at Barnsley, yes we defended brilliantly , but had they taken there (very good) chances, we'd have been done...Its all opinions though, onwards and hopefully upwards..
Well as that is happening in most games ,they aren't happy.
Happy with the manager. Unhappy with the moans and groans.
The fans were loud for 5 minutes last night then mostly not. Aside for the goal chant and ok ish for the crap Lavery white Pele chant. It’s nowhere near as good as the Lavery’s on fire chant IMO. Team wants fans to sing - fans want positive play on the pitch. Often we get neither. Chicken n egg thing innit.
