vlad666 203 Posted April 26, 2014 We can still get something out of this game. Really need to up the tempo. We''re playing like a pre season fixture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryOne 0 Posted April 26, 2014 We have been woeful , Utd could take their defenders off and we still wouldnt pose a threat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,234 Posted April 26, 2014 We''ve been wholehearted, well organised, committed and in their faces...But our passing has been woeful and we just haven''t countered effectively.But this is definitely not the same as under Hughton imo, but everyone''s entitled to theres...

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted April 26, 2014 I''ve seen us play better but looked like we were trying to frustrate and contain them for the opening half then have a go at nicking it in the final 45, at least that looked like the game plan to me. I expect us to have a purple patch in the second half though... C''mon City, we can do better than this lads! OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted April 26, 2014 The team isn''t good enough. The defending belle the penalty was worse then Sunday league! Surely there comes a point when a defender decides the danger is enough and without a thought where it goes other than forward, someone puts their got through it. That''s where I miss Leon Barnett. While it''s still 1-0 though, there is still hope and Fulham''s capitulation earlier gives me hope we might not even need a result here as long as we get 4 pts in the next two.Either way, we need Malkay to come in next season and send a rocket up these players arises. The team as a whole is a bit wet lettuce. We''ve missed Holty like we missed Malkay in that sense, players that did everything they could to make sure we won, be it to the rulebook or not.

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted April 26, 2014 Snodgrass looks like the only Norwich player able to have an effect but he is too deep and wide. He needs to move more central and forward.Shame about the soft pen from an elaborate dive it was the perfect anti climax to that point but I posted earlier I wanted to see us getting at them from the off and we haven''t.RVW has to work harder and show more intent.Yet again we are providing sustenance for beleaguered opposition. So often we have been a tonic for under performing opponents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canaryfairy 0 Posted April 26, 2014 We are playing that bad. The reason we''re not losing by more is that utd are playing nearly as bad - which I''m really surprised at cause I thought they were suddenly supposed to be amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Catbeard The Old 0 Posted April 26, 2014 Our biggest problem is center midfield, Fer couldn''t give a rats arse and needs to be taken off asap and Johnson is nowhere near good enough for this level to play as part of a 2.I''ve defended him so far but Adams has got it badly wrong so far today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 26, 2014 Awful so far. All those backpasses to Ruddy said it all. The only good thing is Man Utd don''t look much better. But right now it''s just a case of how many Utd win by. Shocking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleCanary 0 Posted April 26, 2014 RVW, Fer can both go with my blessings at the end of the season. Neither are NCFC type players. Redmond, although he is an exciting prospect, I''m not worried about us losing him at the end of this season as he still has a lot of developing to do.Come on City!!!!

ricardo 7,395 Posted April 26, 2014 The game is the story of the season in a nutshell. Poor passing, stupid giveaway goal.Inability to stay in the game away from home is our downfall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,219 Posted April 26, 2014 I think we miss Tettey. Why isn''t he playing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canaryfairy 0 Posted April 26, 2014 Not sure about that. I think if "utd took their defenders off" we might get 1 goal - not for RVW though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamBlacksmith 0 Posted April 26, 2014 Really do not see what everyone''s problem is.This is the same team which won the league last year, we''re playing away from home, and they are boosted by a new manager/favorite son/sister in law banging type.....and the media world''s rampant support.We''re doing fine. The penalty was a bollocks, but if that''s what separates us at the end of the day, well feck it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted April 26, 2014 I have been very happy with Adams previous 2 games but this is as bad as anything that has gone before. A complete lack of desire and fight. Yes they have better players but we don''t look like a team fighting to stay up. If a miricle happens and we do stay up we need to invest significantly.

Fuzzar 1,702 Posted April 26, 2014 Why does Tinky Winky saunter around up front? And he hasn''t got close to a header either. We might not be playing to his strengths, but FFS put a shift in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Keelan 0 Posted April 26, 2014 Does anyone else think that Welbeck went down a little too easily then replays show his foot caught in the grass.I think a penalty was a bit harsh. Still the ball should never have got that far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LostTheFaith 0 Posted April 26, 2014 We are poor.Utd are not much better.Tin pot appointent means we will go down. Why o why did we not at least get someone In with a bit of steel to really stir them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damn that Ralph Coates! 47 Posted April 26, 2014 toothless..... make a change as we won''t score in 450 mins, let alone 45. Zero attempts on goal.This is why we are where we are, sadlyCOYY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby 0 Posted April 26, 2014 Ok, observations at half time. Redmond should be off if Adams has any sense. Same woeful display as last week. Can''t cross and keeps giving the ball away. Why are we not playing with any width. 2 or 3 times Fer has picked the ball up and has had no one out wide to pass to. Tha defence was looking pretty solid until everyone missed that one. Oh and why oh why is RvW playing instead of Hooper???For me, RvW and Redmond off, Guttierez and Hooper on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
