simple we are playing shit with shit tactics,no direction.im not goin to winge about mancini but if we carry on playing like this and fail to get into top four when quite frankly there are only two teams in the league with two games in hand,and liverpool spurs villa at home then its simply down to the players and mancinis tactics, he will lose his job simple, good football and shit results i can live with, shit football and good results maybe but shit football and shit results no thanks, now if mancini proves me wrong fine ill be the first to hold my hands up,but for feks sake get rid of two of the three deffensive middfielders. gaz baz give him a rest on the bench paddy v come on overweight no touch martin petrov dosnt ever get past a man and got no fight, adebayor dosnt put any effort in UNLESS ITS ARSENAL. now dont get me wrong i love my city as much as the next bluemooner ive watched city most my 42years on this earth ive lived through the shit and love the thought of being the best team with all thats happening,but im becoming bored with football,had my lad with me for the portsmouth game and after about 30 mins out of the blue he says to me out loud dad its as good as it is on the xbox got quite a few wry smiles.
this this this.
we are playing very poorly, we are fucking clueless, we only scored yesterday with an assist off the defenders head. you can all trumpet all you like the truth is unless bob changes his tactics we are going to end up fucking no where.why the fuck does he shut up shop at 1-0? does he not know the blood and guts of the prem? i dont expect him to know the ins and outs of our football after so little time but he has kidd along side him. bob lad put your fucking clip board away and let kidd run the line. this is'nt a negative post its realism.
we HAVE got the players to beat chelsea and stoke, in fact anybody we play but they will dick us if we try to defend a 0-0 or a 1-0, its common knowledge we can't defend to save our lives, rooney free header, fuller, free header, when hughes was here, fletcher, free header, the list goes on.
we play bolton at home with 3 defensive midfielders wtf is that all about? we were lucky against bolton, lucky against portsmouth, we even nearly got away with it against hull. it just can not go on.i wanted hughes to stay but fully understand why we made the change, i think bob is a much better football brain but his brain must adapt to the english game and quickly. as i have said many times we wasted the transfer window, maybe we did that on purpose to throw people off the jose scent, us going for players and "just falling short".
it looks like a 6 months thing with bob and i find that a shame as i do believe had we really given him the job permenant he would'nt be bricking it and playing so defensive all the time.you dont win 3 seria A titles entirely by defending.
for all the people who think i have lost my marbles let me tell you this, i love city, i go to some lengths these days to attend as many games as i can, i have been doing so for 45 years and of course will continue to do so, this is where my anger really starts to gripe.
i have watched with envy the rags win fucking all sorts decade after decade, untill now, untill we win the lottery,at last we can compete, in fact overtake them, win things and have respect.
i dont want ANY manager, ANY player to come here and shatter my dream, a dream i have held in my chest bursting to come for fucking years.
call me negative, a moaner or what the fuck you like, i dont care.i say it as it is.
1, see you at stoke tuesday and the following week.
2, my curry was fantastic.
