ricardo 7,330 Posted August 18, 2012 Fairly poor so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted August 18, 2012 Holt anonymous, Tierney exposed but mainly Fulham are bossing the midfield. howson and Johnson in the middle particularly poor. 5 man midfield overrun and giving Ruiz too much time. need to be much much much better. We look poor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWC 238 Posted August 18, 2012 great saving tackle by ryan bennetbut we were opened up easily again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWC 238 Posted August 18, 2012 2 down - from a corner the defence shouyld have one - past 2 people on the line who should have blocked it - a very bad goal to giove away - poor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul moy 235 Posted August 18, 2012 We''re hopeless... game over unless Hughton does a Lambert and changes it radically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jules 0 Posted August 18, 2012 Total cr&p. I hate the way we''re not defending and I hate Fulham. Why do we always struggle against them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the bristol nest 0 Posted August 18, 2012 Our defence is very poor and one up top is making it easy for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carra Rud 17 Posted August 18, 2012 This could be a rout... totally average, no ideas, losing possession = RELEGATION material! If we can''t score or defend we are in serious trouble its so obvious... get back to basics 4-4-2 FFS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted August 18, 2012 We gave the the initiative from the start. If you want to win games you''ve got to set up to create chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
technika 0 Posted August 18, 2012 looks the same as the friendlies did. Snodgrass looks like a less creative version of hoolahan but with a higher work rate and happy to track backpros - the passing looked slick at the start, for ten minutes :/cons - this formation is painful to watch, just doesnt work with the players city have, dont look any better in defence than last year but LESS effective going forward. 4 4 2 please!!!!!!!, just because city have lots of midfielders does not mean we have to play them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted August 18, 2012 This is what happens when you try to play defensively despite your defence being your weakest part of your squad. 2 up front and GO for it or it will be a long long season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G 0 Posted August 18, 2012 1 up front will never work unless the striker gets support from the wide players and players running onto it. At the Ajax game as soon as Vaughan went off and we played 1 up front we were awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
