We desperately need new players. Many are in decline. Expand And consistency of effort. Away from the big night home games with flags and 52000 egging you on full voice. One too many are going through the motions too often. It's not acceptable, but yes we need some players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Our form has taken a 180 in the league.. Losing to Fulham, and getting smahed by Bournemouth plus a not so fantastic City side. Edited February 15 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Cowardly approach to this game. City's confidence is low and we just let them dominate the ball. Shown them far too much respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 This set up isnt working, wide men keep getting 1 on 1 and the press is set up like we're playing 3 at the back. Picking Trips is such a weird decision as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Its a poor performance but the reality is Eddie wasn't allowed to buy a single decent player to improve the squad for what, 3 transfer windows now? Because of PSR, but City just spunked £200m in January because Pep got a few bad results, and their shiny new £60m player scored a hatrick. The games corrupt to the core.

Lush Vlad Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Get men up the pitch, but then don’t really press or then drop when you’ve been bypassed. Sort of hover about in no man’s land. Allow their midfielders to run through unchecked on a regular basis without putting a tackle in. Get back into your shape when it’s in our half. But then stand off and put no pressure on the ball. Don’t bother following runners off the ball and marking them. When the chance is there to counter or nick the ball. Probably best not to bother and just leave it. Absolutely baffling tactics. They don’t look like they know what they’re doing. Seems like a lack of effort and a load of confusion all blended together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully their desire to win the cup inspired the Arsenal wins and they take that attitude into the final rather than the one we're seeing today and far too many times at home this season.

Weezertron Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Feels like the we're stuck in cycle of needing to have an absolute whopper of a performance every 8 games, for there to be some kind of internal investigation, asking hard questions etc. And then we improve again for a few games and then we get gradually worse again.
