"man on"

[Bill]

"time"
"go corner"

anyone notice that we never seem to follow these basic football instructions. we get caught in possession time and time again by an on coming opponent. no one gives our player a shout, that or they don't know how to. can't be that hard to learn a simple couple of words no matter what your mother tongue. so why don't we do it? we don't shout "time", clichy Saturday ballooned a ball out in the dying minutes when a shout of "time" would see him control and we keep possession. same with corner flag ball retention, we simply don't do it, or rarely lets say. we don't need another goal at 2-1 so kill the friggin game. we have good footballers that are no good at football if that makes sense. we don't roll about, we don't suddenly go down when want to stop play , we do nothing in the gamesmanship department. I am hoping all that will change next season, we need to grow up, and fast.

ask useless that's in charge ;)

It's really pronounced in the CL where all the teams manage the game better than us,we look very naive.On the one hand i love it we don't resort to the dark arts but hopefully pep will be an upgrade in the game management department

I'm sure somebody will try and be a smart arse and come up with a theory why they don't but you're spot on. Our in game management of pretty much all things is abysmal.

I am not feeling the holistic love in here.

I was talking about this the other day, it was always being shouted from the crowd, never seem to hear it in the ground any more.

I agree we do seem to have a game management issue at times but to suggest that International players with many years experience in the game dont do it right because of Pellegrini is frankly ridiculous and sounds like an excuse for yet another thread bashing the manager.

Sometimes, its not too much to expect the players to switch on and use their brains.

 

[Phil1]

ffs

Who would you blame for the same throw ins time and time again (which are shite and end up with us defending most times) our corners, our set pieces etc? Do you think the players make it up as they go along? (which reflects poorly on the boss) or are they told to do what they do? (which reflects poorly on the boss)

Me neither, it's pissed me off since we played Bayern Munich, I think, in the seventies

You're right. My lad goes mental about our game management. He is very down on the intellect of our players ;-)

 

[Eccles Blue]

You should sit on the front row of the CB lower then Bill and Andy Hinch, because not only do we shout it (& I include myself in that) but we hear the players shout, although I can't always make out what they shout for the noise of the crowd but it does happen.

Blueinsa, no I can't understand why this is being used as another way to complain about Mr Pellegrini either but hey let's kick the Manager it's a quiet night!! ;-)

Off to the Eccles Supporters Club monthly meeting now to see what the OS might have come up with again.............. just joking, don't get aerated now lads.

 

[SWP's back]

ffs

He's right though.

Frank Clarke would be an upgrade on the engineer

Having read the book about Pep, don't expect him to leave it to players to think about anything.

Wasn't BM, but I recall us playing a German team that kicked the shit out of us and rolled over every time we breathed on them

I bit on the fact that the main thrust of the op was for players to be warning each other of either time or man on. Ists rather worrying when some are pinning that on being the managers fault. Or do you agree that it

You said you enjoyed the football against West Brom and you called it the worst news ever when Pep was announced so it's fair to say you may be biased.

That's good, because some of them struggle in that department.
