Our inability to set up properly for big games

[BigBluey]

I can't remember the last victory where we played very well and won convincingly.

I appreciate we have had many injuries to key players this season, however there seems a lack of leadership on the pitch, positional play leaves a lot to be desired and the tempo/rhythm of the side is to slow.

Aston Villa away in the cup should be the way we need to play.

I just wish we would have some dynamism and pace. I dont like this 'trying to thread it through the eye of a needle' that we end up doing all the time

The question itself is meant to point a finger. Fine, there is an unpalatable anti- Pellars tinge to bluemoon these days. But examine the facts and is easy to show its misplaced.

Who picks the team and sets the tactics then??

It not just the big games, it's all games.
The problem is we don't set our game plan for the team we are playing.
There was a Delph interview a while back, when asked about the preparations for the game, his reply was something like "we don't worry about the other team, we just concentrate on ourselves".
That right there is the problem.

He said it again before the Leicester game. High line against Jamie Vardy and no pressure on the ball in midfield just makes me wonder why we bother with training sessions

I'd like to see how Guardiola would do with the players Pellegrini had at his disposal yesterday.

yes, we'd all do things a bit differently, but the overwhelming reason for the poor performances is down to the missing players.

Sagna at centre half,Clichy at left back would have offered much needed pace and not playing Delph as a fucking left winger sould have been a start dont ya think?

The opposing teams' manager seems the most likely alternative.

We couldn't afford to lose the height against a long ball side.

This would be the Mark Hughes who crashed out of two cup competitions in the space of 4 days; seen his side stuffed 3-0 in the last 3 PL games and is currently lying 11th with a -7 GD?

Just checking.

Yep that's him.........some people really are stupid! Someone said put Kidd in charge for the rest of the season on another thread.....I mean come on, I'm not Pelle's biggest fan but people who suggest the above need to give their head a wobble.
