Please tell me honestly....regardless of results....do you think we are playing well? I dont....even when we were winning we werent playing well in my opinion. I know that winning is all that counts in the end but we arent playing good football at present and havent been for a while.
We're playing as well as I would expect from a side in the 4-8th bracket, and certainly as well as our rivals as evidenced by results (perhaps you only look at some of our rivals results, did you see Liverpool play Wigan the other night?)
And its nice to see you back with your blind faith (see everyone can post sarcastic comments though i dont normally like to!)
I don't know what the fuck you are on about, I've posted on here that on my predictor I think we'll finish below Liverpool and Villa.
My opinions are based on purely watching how we play....NOTHING ELSE...in the end i dont care who the manager is....i want us to succeed that is all.....at the moment my opinion is that playing the way we are we wont. Whehter that is the managers fault or the players is open to arguement
But you consistently ignore evidence that proves that what you think you are seeing is incorrect. You said that Spurs have been much more attacking than us since Mancini took over yet we've outscored them by a mile. You've hinted that Liverpool are playing well and we're not, yet where matching them every step of the way.
I was interested to read an old thread not so long ago, we were playing 3 matches (Bolton away, Chelsea home and Spurs). You said that you only expected 1 point from the 3 matches, and any more than that would only convince you that the previous manager was the right man for the job. Fast forward a few months, you're standards seem to have changed. Wonder why that is.
Noticeable that Liverpool have dropped the 2 defensive midfielders approach though at home......Will mancini play two defensive midfielders against Wigan.......in my opinion he shouldnt
I personally like 2 defensive midfielders, so long as they are used to give a bit more freedom to the attacking players. FWIW I used to say the same when the previous manager used to use 2 DM's. But in the long run we can play with 10 defensive midfielders if it gets us the 3 points on Monday.
