It's happening every game though, teams are just running through us without anyone putting a tackle in
That 14 game run would never have happened if VAR had been available, Liverpool would have been Champions with games to spare.Right slept on it , well tried to sleep !. Two parts to my rant this morning
The team is a million miles away to what we have been use to. The quick 1,2 touch flowing football has been replaced with players taken slow 7,8 touches, that says to me no confidence. Why do our wingers do the same every game very rarely take on a defender and just cut inside to a crowded box ?. Why wont anyone shoot ? Why dont we counter attack instead we are nice and slow so the opposition can get their 10 behind the ball ? What has happened to our press?. Playing teams who play long to fast forwards why dont our defenders drop 10yds giving them less room ?. Has the team subconsciously been effective by VAR ? Knowing they are likely at some point of the game to be screwed at least once. I couldnt understand how Foden didnt come on, it's getting silly game after game we get over run or lack place yet Pep wont use him or our youth.
As a game going fan who does 600 miles per game sometimes with a stop over , I now have to question should I keep paying to watch a product that is bent. It's not just yesterday but I think nearly every game this season VAR has screwed us, and its costing me alot of enjoyment and expense. I am thinking of taking the rest of the season 'off' , I am still knackered from the last 14 games of last season and I seem to be lacking the 'fight' this season knowing VAR will screw us. Coming to matches takes most of my weekend and for what to watch a league which is bent. This isnt sour grapes as soon as I saw what happen at home to spurs I knew the league have at last got a tool which stop City. The cheating is clear to see but clubs etc are to scared to speak out. Even the utd fan at the desk at the premier inn said Fred's was a pen and he doesnt understand VAR !
Anyway I will be back up for the Leicester game I dont know if I will be giving it 100% as part of me says at some point we will get screwed it's sad but after 59yrs I like I am losing interest in football as a bent product. Still love City to bits but can I as a person allow a product the premier league a bent product to upset my whole weekend and take my hard earned money for much more longer. The ref in the shed can give what he wants he doesnt have to justify his decisions wish I had a job like that. Might have spend more time with the wife now !!!!!
I know what your saying, I think he might be the victim of our poor form he seems to be trying to hard.You can add KDB to that for me, a shadow of the world class player he can be.
The defence was all over the place that's how they managed quite a few shots without challenge in the first half.More worried how he gets a shot away without a challenge
Because there’s no variation in our attackIt's happening every game though, teams are just running through us without anyone putting a tackle in
AgreedThe defence was all over the place that's how they managed quite a few shots without challenge in the first half.
I know no team will win every game. Did VAR affect the Norwich, Wolves, Utd defeats and Newc draw?No they didn't. Our performances did. There's nothing wrong in admitting our faults because the players and staff will be doing exactly the same. We are below par and that is obvious.It might be a team who knows it won't be allowed to win a league title no matter how hard they train, no matter how prepared they are, and how well they piece the 90mins together. I think we have seen enough, two months back, that we are not being treated in the same way re the application of the LotG and the VAR referrals.
I think there would not by many sharing that view after the Burnley game. We hit the heights again, admittedly against what seems to be a disintegrating BFSean squad but we have players who can turn a game in seconds, given a fair crack of the whistle.
Maybe the club won't be so complacent in the transfer market next time.
We need decent cover for places and if that current cover isn't good enough then they shouldn't be at the club.
So, so poor.
Title gone.
When we’re out of ideas, put a fucking shitty floaty floaty ball in the box to our midget forwards.
Fuck off.
Yes, I posted on the night that the team’s performance on Tuesday at Burnley made me feel a little ashamed that I’d doubted them. But it seems to be a case of one step forward, one step back at the moment. (And a derby defeat does intensify the hurt.) I agree completely about the players we have and about the woeful officiating that is screwing us but we made it too easy for the Rags yesterday. Of course, it might all look a lot more rosy after the Arsenal and Leicester games!
Erm you do know we scored off a corner last night do you?THIS!!
Why on earth do we continue to play in this way...
Like I trust in Pep, but obviously hes instructing players to cross the ball into the box... so invest in a bloody target man? Or change tactic?
EVERY time we get a corner, i shake my head knowing absolutely nothing will come from it, and more than likely it will lead to a counter-attack against us...
