Re: Cardiff Vs City Post Match Discussion Thread
We were poor. Defensively Zaba was at fault for all three goals and we looked nervous all game. Our passing was slow and very inaccurate. We were so lethargic it was infuriating, I'd go as far to say we were fucking lazy. We had no urgency until injury time. Fernandinho was poor, as far to say anonymous. Yaya was terrible! Unless the ball went straight to Silva he put no effort in to make it his. Zaba kept gettig in Navas Nasri and Milner's way, he was awful today. Up front we had no cohesion plus poor first touches, passing and decision making throughout. We were easy to play against. Just poor all round.
I think people genuinely think that because Mancini had trouble with it, the change in manager means we'll have the exact answers to it now. The reality is we have a lot of the same players that struggled with it in the past, plus hardly any football teams on the planet can work out how to unlock these kind of tactics other than the extreme end of very best and we aren't one of them.
