Birmingham City (H) FA Cup Match Thread

[Merging Cultures]

Out muscled.

[WestLothianFox]

Maybe this is plan B, play for the penalties

[StanSP]

Ndidi looks a tad unfit. Good he's playing today though to get that fitness in for Villa.

[Brooksy]

Not scored in over a month. So depressing

Anyone would think  there’s some horrible virus going round and our team have caught it ...    

 

 

They have obviously been told to self isolate and to stay well away from each other

[Ric Flair]

Hahahaha we stoop to new lows, this is revolting stuff.

[foxfanazer]

Maddison is the weakest man I think I've ever seen

[Sly]

I still think we needed a winger in January. 
 

For me, we’ve controlled the game So far but not done a lot. The midfield is static and the two wingers need to tuck in a bit, or at least drag the bang of defenders out a bit. 
 

All in all, a little bit boring.

Apparently we are doing shorter more focused training sessions. Maybe make the training longer to make sure they understand each other and how to attack, because at the moment it looks like we don't know what we are doing.

I’m starting to think its not a training issue but more of a lifestyle one. Puel never had the respect of the players and BR is basically David Brent and wants to be their mate. Far too many of them spend too much time out in clubs or casinos during the season.

You spelt Ayoze wrong 

[Mark]

Commentators are catching on, from endless praise to we’ve no idea

[TMELcfc]

Any idea what the game plan is? 

[blabyboy]

Is one of the commentators an uncle of Chilly? Keeps going on about him like he's sliced bread.

[TeaMen Tom]

Analyst on the ESPN feed is just killing Albrighton.  Says he's clueless.

[Cameron Davidson]

This will sound like such a bandwagon jump, but I think I'm giving up optimism for Gray... Great potential, I don't think he will make it here. flatters to deceive. I was so excited about him when he joined as well. 

 

[filbertway]

Come on Rodgers you greasy bastard, sort this out at half time. Absolutely appalling. Hard to see where the next shot is coming from, never mind a goal.

[Dr The Singh]

Best performance this year

[Beechey]

The three changes for me would be: Tielemans on for Praet, Barnes for Gray and Justin for Albrighton (Ricardo to winger).

[Guesty]

Want to see 2 up front. Don't care if it's 4-4-2 or 3-5-2. There's a reason we haven't scored for so long. No one creates anything and the lone striker is so isolated.

[TonyN11]

Can we have the penalty shoot out now please?

Puel tactics of trying to make the opposition fall asleep 

[Kopfkino]

How many times does Iheanacho have to look poor on his own up front but good when he's playing with someone for Brendan to stop doing the former and do the latter?

Get the two wide players off, get Tielemans and Perez on and go with the diamond for a half again.

 

Starting to think the Puelball comparisons are a tad unfair on Claude

[Fightforever]

Our prince

he's back

[Jonaldinho]

Two rubbish wingers, an inconsistent striker and this is what you get.

[kingfox]

Claude Puel football is back bitches.
