alright to start things off this is my first topic on this board and one of my first posts. secondly i have really only begun to love the game of football(soccer) in recent years, thus only becoming a city fan in those years too. this year i have fallowed the epl but mainly city closer than ever, trying o catch all the games i possibly can whether its on TV or a poor quality stream on the comp.
so for my thoughts on our wonderful winning ways... these games recently have been terrible to watch, not just because were losing but also because of the way its happening. in these last few weeks the team doesnt seem like they want to be on the pitch. there is no fire, or drive. they all seem to just be going through the motions.... more so on the defensive side but still all over the pitch. losing the last two premiere games in the final minutes of the game has been from terrible marking by the defense. it almost seems like they give up when the game is coming to an end. not only that the D seems to get way out of position which then thins it out, so when we have a bad pass(which seems to be way to offen lately) the counter has a ton of room to work.
I know many people blame mark hughes for all of our problems this year but in my opinion it is more on the situation the team is in rather than purely managerial. i believe the team has way too much on there plates right now... it seems that some of the players are more worried about this transfer window than on playing football. then with mark hughes, he seems to not be handeling the pressure well when it comes to managing the team when there on the pitch, what i mean by this is that he has sooo much expected of him with the money and to win right away i beleive he is getting away from coaching the team the way he should be.
With all this said i beleive Hughes does need more time... i mean we have gone through managers recently like crazy. he should get his chance to show his talent, or lack of. the team on the other hand should get the heads outta there a***s and just play football to win instead of worrying about this january and what is going to happen with the team. this team has talent as we have seen this year to be a relegation squad. Im not saying the team is great but at this point in the year we should be battling for a top 8 spot and not trying to get out of relegation.
I cannot wait for january to go by so we can see how the team will perform without this distraction of money and signing of new players......
and remember WE'VE GOT ROBINHO!!! WE'VE GOT ROBINHO lol
