City 2nd 191 Posted December 26, 2016 because a totally inept manager could not see what you, me and most other supporters could see, that our best chance was with our in form striker on the pitch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djc 0 Posted December 26, 2016 Because if we played two up front we would need to change the formation. And if we had equalised then Alex Neil is less likely to get a golden handshake payoff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Van wink 2,994 Posted December 26, 2016 Yes he has. Other remarks I think about fresh legs and energy as I recall but the bit about the first half has overshadowed anything else he said in my memory, could not believe what I was listening to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,520 Posted December 26, 2016 Neil was just being honest, but obviously didn''t phrase it well. He said that Olivera had a poor first half, but came alive in the second half - but overall the reason for him coming off was for fresh legs up front and the pace that Jerome has to offer.

Guest Posted December 26, 2016 So we had no right sided midfield player for the last third of the game which means it might have been better two play two up front and ignore the depleted and equally tired midfield.But no, we must not alter the script of one up front.

Bagster 101 Posted December 26, 2016 Well I am not having that, he held the ball up well the first half, touch was good but he needed more support. Can''t believe Alex said that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You''re the '' worst '' happy clapper on here.OK even if we agree with AN that Oliviera had an indifferent 1st half he was certainly putting himself about after HT. Why take him off ? He''s looked miles better than Jerome in recent matches. He must be as p*ssed off as the fans.AN''s interview on Canary Call gave the impression he''s lost the plot and in fairness the Board should put him out of his misery,I take my hat off to over 1400 that were there today. They deserve much better and it doesn''t look as though they''ll be getting it anytime soon under the present set up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a lot of over reaction on here again tonight - I get it - we looked bad defensively again - but people have to try and keep a level head in these situations or the danger is you end up working yourslef up into a frenzy of resentment about every single thing to do with the club - some justified, but a lot unjustified. It''s almost as if people actually enjoy getting worked up about how terrible everything is - when the truth is somewhat less dramatic. It''s Hughton all over again - intolerance and resentment to the extent that fans will do their best to undermine the manager in game after game, making his job harder and harder and harder. We are on a bad run, there are problems to sort - but throwing out the manager may not be the answer - especially if there is no-one good enough available who can sort it out quickly.

Horse Renoir 1 Posted December 26, 2016 Regardless of AN''s reasoning we were noticably poorer and the ball stuck far less often in the final third after Oliviera went off. In my opinion it was more about AN asserting that he''s the boss, his own man and will make the changes he deems nessicary. Because I can''t for the bloody life of me see any possible footballing reason to make that change.With the ball at his feet or over 5 yards where it matters Oliviera is no slower than Jerome. Jerome would be better chasing the ball over the top only but we wern''t playing that way! Before the substitution we were getting bodies forward but the moves were breaking down through too much intricate passing and poor final balls. What the hell AN was seeing I''ll never know. That was Glenn Roeder-esque Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
