In what way were we negative yesterday?

[Prestwich_Blue]

They get plenty of men forward and play quick balls in triangles, with players moving off the ball to work it behind the defence.

Which theyve had 10+ years to perfect

But do we look like we're heading in that direction when we play 3 defensive-minded midfield players?

Barca and Arsenal never have to break down teams that park the bus...

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Your right the only team which were negative yesterday was the team in red

Until the big lad went off, Zigic, they played with two up front. Why didn't we play with two up front? And I just cannot see one scrap of sense when defending a corner that every sky blue camps in our penalty area - the ball is cleared and it lands at the foot of a red shirt, no blue shirt within twenty yards and the Brum attack begins again. How to make things difficult for yerself and put yerself under the cosh. Doesn't make sense.

No place for reasoned argument

what really doesn't make sense think to attack when you have to defend .

Yet if they win today they are ahead by 6 points. They've also scored 9 goals more than us and have played a game less. They have let in one more goal though. So defending and attacking can work if the balance is right.

To be honest PB yes we are moving in the right direction,again we had plenty of attempts on goal and dominated possession.


Tevez is trying to beat teams on his own at the minuite and play broke down on numerous occasions yesterday because he tried to do too much,he had plenty of chances to pass the ball but declined to do so,so Mancini was right when he said if Tevez doesnt score nobody else will.

The team is nearly there in my opinion but at this rate we aint gonna see it because the manager will be booed out.


Who else should we get in? The 85 year old Hiddink?

So they've not bought any new players ever?
