List of reasons we have been so poor this year.

[B\connellblue]

Our passing or to be correct our inability to pass the ball is letting us down.

 

[Bojinov The Bull]

This is going to be a bit ranty im afraid! Need to say this stuff its annoying me.

-Messed around with a back 5 for far too long, unsettled the defence completely.
-Kompany has been terrible! Marking, distribution, decision making has all been bad.
-Defence/midfield seem to prefer to play short, sideways dangerous passes instead of getting it forward away from trouble.
-Brought in the likes of Garcia/Rodwell and Sinclair to replace De Jong & Johnson, they are no better if not worse.
-Midfield is always far too deep, never pressing high up the pitch anymore.
-Nasri & Silva would track back and get forward with a very high work rate last year, this year they tend to just sit behind the strikers and wait for the ball.
-Toure seems to have the soul responsibility of being able to move past the half way line with the ball and if he doesn't have a good game like that night then it's terrible.


We need to get a set back 4, play them together NO MATTER WHAT for at least 6 games unless there is an injury. We then need 1 defensive midfielder like Garcia/Barry and play Rodwell and Toure as box to box midfielders in front of him to be able to link the defence and attack together. If Sinclair is going to play then play a front 3 with him and Aguero either side of Dzeko/Balotelli then for the champions league play 1 fucking striker!!! 5 in midfield, watch all the good European sides they pack the midfield we lose out every single fucking time!!

so poor! top four, lost to Madrid unluckily, drew with the champions of Germany. Get a fucking grip, we will click soon and shut up all the doom tossers soon enough. Supporting my club is becoming embarrassing with all the why aren't we crushing everyone shite.

3-5-2 is the cause of this havoc
adding a new dimension to team,s play is one thing but totally messing up in between 2 is another.

Havoc, fuck off.

I hate you so much! I didn't say we wouldnt click, i didnt say we wouldnt win the league or the champions league i am just stating reasons why I feel we've been bad! They are probably too complicated for you to understand, you sound pretty simple if you think we were unlucky in Madrid that proves it!<br /><br />-- Fri Oct 05, 2012 1:09 am --<br /><br />

The Mancini bashers should form a committee and oust the present incumbant. They could share the salary between them. There's more than enough to go round.

Yes cos Mancinis immune from criticism isn't he ffs, I don't want him sacked and would love for the club to have some continuity but there is nothing wrong in discussing why we have been poor this season, which we have. All you do is bullshit about United and sarcastically respond to anyone who has anything negative to say about our performances.

VERRRRRY well said! Im sick to death of all these boring people who just stick their fingers in their ears and jump up and down because we won the league. Some of us on here do actually have intelligence and analyse the game and what is wrong with how we are playing etc... instad of just turning up, having 5 pints and then moaning about anybody who DARES to say anything negative!

 

[Freestyler]

- Selling De Jong

- Shite Transfers in positions we didn't need to add

- Playing two in midfield

- Playing Yaya so deep

- Crap substitutions

- Still having no top quality winger or deep lying playmaker

- Constant rotation in personnel and formations

^ THAT 100% ^

 

[Paul11/12]

1 reason the absence of de jong.

Agreed!

 

[MJ]

Complacency. We're not working hard enough, think we can cruise through matches without closing down when we don't have the ball, think we can stroll around when we have the ball, and think that no matter who is on the pitch we will win. Pure and simple complacency. Both players and manager.

 

[okstate99]

1 reason the absence of de jong.

Agreed!

So how many games did he start last year? I remember a long stretch of game he didnt even start.

 

[mammutly]

Another dazzlingly poor performance, today.

I blame the passing, the substitutions, the tactics, the complacency, the manager and the lack of de jong.

 

[bluestevei]

1] we have not got a decent line up week after week
2] we play to slow from defence to forward line
3] we try to pass 100 times on the halfway line
4] we have got to shoot from 2 yds out instead of having a pop from outside the pen area
5] players out of form, after today thou looks a lot better
6] when the other side has got a corner, we put all our players in our pen area, so if ball is cleared it comes stright back in, also see number 2

mancini went back to the basic fruit pastilles today , the fruit polos didnt do
the business and the chewy werthers against villa where an absolute shambles
