well done hughes and well done city

[Padre]

I've had a few ales, so please forgive me.

For the third game in a row the team selection was all wrong. There's no one in midfield there to pick up the ball, get us passing. Equally, there's no one dropping off the front, picking up the ball and giving the opposition a dilemma as in who to pick up.

Today was like a basketball game. We never looked like controlling the game. We never passed it.

I'm sorry but with X amount of millions spent on a side we must do better than a 0 - 0 vs Birmingham.

If we don't show more ambition Liverpool, bad as they are, will beat us into fourth.

'Lost one game all season' sounds a little bit better than it is though.

We've drawn 4 out of 10 and could quite easily have drawn against Wolves & Pompey too.

We haven't actually played well for quite a while now.

 

[pee dubyas crayons]

the question is, if we carry on dropping points like this, what happens in january??

go for more big signings, or change the manager?

 

[Bonol]

4th in the table with a game in hand, injuries all over the squad, lost one game all season(robbed at that)and now today held on to a point when not at our best.
like it.
a liitle tweaking and champions league here we come.

What have you been drinking ?.

Well Done Wayne Bridge
Well Done Joleon Lescott
Well Done Shaun Wright-Phillips
Well Done Craig Bellamy
Well Done Shay Given

Agree with your LEscott - Bridge & Given - they did well

Bellamy though was quiet to be honest but cant really complain

If after thaqt performance with Capello watchung he goes to South Africa i will show my arse - its not that he is a bad players its just that he makes to may wrong decisions and gives away the ball far far to cheaply.

Thought Kompany and Roque both looked massively short of match fitness but i guess you can only get thiat with match practice

Clarkie is that you

We cant seem to break down defences right now... We are having trouble connecting the midfield with the forwards.

Im happy with 4th right now yes. I would have been incredibly happy if you told we were 4th by november last summer. But the thing is we arent 4th because we have been great! We are 4th because Liverpool has had a poor run.

 

[BlueSinclair]

Only one loss sound so great, but 4draws gives us 4points, but 2loss and 2 wins would give us 6. You do the math.

 

[fbloke]

I sincerely hope the OP is right, my spirit is with you but my logic is under severe pressure.

 

[NPBlue]

I'm with the OP, but them I'm one of lifes optimists by nature.

I got home from the pub earlier on today, looked at the league table, and thought 'I like that'.

4th place will do for me. With a game in hand.

A point away from home as well.

Last year we would have lost, and we would have lost other games as well, but this is a new team, that is in 4th place.

I'm happy with that.

Any sane City fan would have taken our present league position if asked at the start of the season, surely ?
It isn't all roses though, our last few performances have been on the whole pretty poor but we'll get better as players return from injury, so will other sides too though, we aren't the only side with injury problems.
Like others on here, i'm more than satisfied with our league placing but still a little concerned with our performances of late, yes, we've had injuries but we've still put decent sides out and we've looked like a side that isn't sure how we want to play the game, i'm sure that will change when we have a fully fit squad though.
