this post match discussion could resemble any away game since the 6-1, and that is the worrying aspect for me.
what are we faced with each and every game, a team that drops to the edge of their own box, defends with discipline and remain patient, knowing full well that at some point they will get a chance as city commit more men forward in desperation, leaving spaces at the back.
the problem to my mind lies in the fact we are too narrow, an over reliance on the full backs getting forward, while more orthadox wide players sit on the bench.
am i convinced our wide players are good enough, not really, but the shape just isnt there, and while people are saying silva has gone off the boil, he may have, but he needs options and outlets, he is a brilliant player but needs runners.
our manager at the moment appears reactive to problems as opposed to pro active, swansea away we created more in 8 minutes than the previous 82, sadly it took conceding to take the shackles off.
can we still win the league, off course we can, but we are looking to our manager for ingenuity, especially away, we have fallen for the same trick for months now, it isn't coincidence, and i am suprised with our supposed wonderful options why we havnt devised another system.
i personally look forward to the return of vinny and jolean, and surely milner deserves more game time, even if to only inject some energy and drive.
lets get behind the team, we can do this, a point yesterday isnt that bad, win next week and see where it takes us, lets get our heads up.
