What do fans expect

[normski6071]

i except they shoudnt of been training xmas day but i always thought u play 4 the club and the fans

 

[Psychodelic]

youll find im no rag just giving an honest opinion u prick

I don't think you're going to make many friends on here if you carry on calling people pricks. The reason people, and I'll hold my hands up too, thought you were a utd fan was your opening line of we've been shit since 1976. Its not the best way to start a thread for City fans and expect a positive debate to your points.

I don't come on the forum to start slanging matches or to insult people and I will apologise for making assumptions about you being a rag. Is that fair enough mate?

 

[normski6071]

No probs Psychodelic but they called me a rag first which is worse rag or prick :-)

 

[Psychodelic]

fair do's mate, it is the ultimate insult!

 

[Blue Mooner]

If were all going to be honest weve been shit since 1976 so how can we expect are newest manager to turn it around in 6 months with some off whe worse players to ever put on the blue shirt

Agree Normski

Agree Normski

Not so, Normski,
If you think back to earlier in the season, the lads played some of the best football, at times, that I have seen at City for 30-odd years! but our attacking style was identical in every game, so when that was sussed out by opposition managers we were in trouble.

It's hard to know whether Hughes tried to use different approaches and (as we now suspect may be the case) the players did not respond, or whether the fault was his in sticking to the one method, but the list of injuries to key players has closed down a lot of possible alternatives

Those wonderful games were not won by some of the 'worse players ever to put on a blue shirt'

 

[normski6071]

[Disturbance]

youll find im no rag just giving an honest opinion u prick

WTF do you expect when you come out with bollocks like "with some off whe worse players to ever put on the blue shirt"???

 

[normski6071]

u can at least give me vassell disturb

 

[remoh]

u can at least give me vassell disturb

If you think Vassell is among the worst, you must have a very short history with this club.

 

[Corky]

I wouldn't call top five for a couple of years running shit.

without question, we've got the best squad of players we have ever had. the problem is the manager. if the players don't respond to him...if theyre not happy, you don't get results. if you saw the sky reporter at carrington on christmas day, he said all the players looked really serious. on christmas day!!!! now i know we beat hull 5-1 the following day but ffs, wigan beat them 5-0 away from home. the players should want to go into work, not dread it.

The player looked serious? At the training ground? You're kidding!!! This is an outrage. How dare Hughes and the management team insist they take their 50,000 grand a week jobs seriously? And Chrstmas Day? Christmas Day??? That's just bad management.

Mate... behave. There are plenty of reasons to criticise Hughes, not least of all our dire league position, but the players taking training serious is not one of them.

Reading the comments I think the word "serious" could also mean "pissed off" or "fed up".

And if somebody is pissed off or fed up in work they ain't gonna give 100%. And this is a problem.

[True-Blue]

I would love a top 10 finish, good run in UEFA cup and qualify next season (looking grim)

Amd Villa, Kaka, Jose xD

 

[mancity1]

All I expect is that the players and the manager give 100 per cent.

They are good enough as they are to be challenging the likes of Everton and Villa but clearly falling well below that.

If the new players brought in and the players we have cannot achieve the results required to be challenging these teams I expect the the manager to be told to find another job.

 

[allblackcitizen]

I firmly believe that David Moyes and Sam Allardyce would have been sacked at City but both proved to be successful - which in the Big 4 era equates to Uefa Cup and decent cup runs - at Everton and Bolton.

I'm not happy with our results or MH but I do think that we lack the personnel to win tight games. We have one, yes one proper defensive midfielder in Kompany. Didi's too old and Fernandes hasn't the football brain for the PL. We also cannot control games through possession as SWP, Ireland, Robbie and Elano are all pass and move players. Some of our games resemble basketball rather than football. Oh for an Alonso. We also have no physical presence. You could drive a bus through our central midfield somedays, especially away from home.

I'm wavering at the moment but my head says stick with Hughes.There's criticism of Les' training methods but apparantly these are the same plans used by both Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen - make of that what you will. The media are reporting on a civil war in the camp but make no mistake there can only ever be one boss: the manager, whoever it is. And as for discipline being the wrong way, 5 of the top-6 managers in the PL are disciplinarians IMHO and most of best coaches have authoritarians, historically.

The ADUG money is a joyous but huge burden. It's created expectations that are a little bit unrealistic given that we've been mainly a mid-table yo-yo type club for 3 decades. We've thrown around £120M at the squad and we've still got a raft of Psycho's players. This is gonna take time and a shed load of money it seems.

C'mon CITY !

Totally and completely spot on

 

[orangehippo]

as a fan, i just expect to watch a good game. i think that's the core of it.
