cypruscanary 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Looking at the statistics for Sunday Norwich had 51% of the play and 9 shots at goal, Ipswich 49% and 23 shots at goal, it seems that when City have the ball they havent a clue what to do with it, the midfield is crying out for a player with a football brain, who can direct operations, can pass 10 yards to a player with the same colour shirt , reads a game, whats the point hoofing a ball 12 feet in the air to a guy whos 5''6''''''. work to get the ball within shooting range, if you dont shoot at goal you dont score, strange but true, doesnt take rocket science.Hopefully the Manager will put this straight in January, if allowed, otherwise they be will staring relegation in the face, the luck they have had in recent matches finally ran out, when thay won games they shouldnt have,to show up a really bad team . Not the Mangers fault he can only work with what he has got, which isnt a lot, I dont envy him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 50 Posted November 20, 2006 The shots ratio seems to be getting less each game, Apparently 2 against Sunderland AT HOME about 2/3 attempts at WBA can''t remember to many against Cardiff although the build up was good. Has the emphasis gone back to the defence too much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Harvey-Jones 0 Posted November 20, 2006 The midfield simply don''t shoot. I can''t remember a single shot from either Etuhu, Robinson or Hughes during the game. If there were then there wasn''t many! We desperately need to threaten more and attack the goal more - that means shooting. When we have possession we tend to knock it about at the back and don''t seem to know a route forward. Then we lose it or hoof it downfield and it comes straight back with interest!
