We did ourselves no favours I get that. But that doesn't mean we have to be surprised that Man City putting them away with the strikers and attacking players they have. I'm frustrated too and get how shite we are but Man City winning is no surprise and we shouldn't continue to get annoyed at it. If we continue to compare every result we lose to a side that wins we'll never be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have anyone like Mahrez now. Not just ability (because that's an understatement) but just winning the game for us out of nothing. I miss having that threat in our side, particularly in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shailen Posted 5 December 2020 Share Posted 5 December 2020 (edited) Absolute joy to watch Mahrez. Pains me to watch him play for Man City but he has to have the best first touch of any footballer in world football including Messi.

If we continue to compare every result we lose to a side that wins we'll never be happy. I fully understand that. And in no way am I expecting us to have anywhere near the same technical ability or depth in squad as Man City have. But I think we can learn lessons form watching other teams play, and from our own performances. Losing 1 home game in the last 3 I can understand, 3 in a row of dire dull performances is beyond poor. We have talented players. Admittedly missing some key players in defence and Ndidi but surely it is not too much to ask to press high, play forwards when we have the ball, instead of constant sideways and backwards passing. We are a very good side and should set up as such especially at home. We can't play 3 / 5 defenders at home to a side in the bottom 3. Why not set up in a more attacking style and show our intent from the first whistle. West Ham were far better than us, Villa had more shots and looked capable of scoring a lot, Fulham were fairly comfortable apart from the last 5 minutes against us as well. We set up too negatively at home and get punished. Away form, we have had some amazing results this season. Incredible to watch this season. We have very good players but my issue is we do not help ourselves with tactics or game management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deep blue Posted 5 December 2020 Share Posted 5 December 2020 These days we never seem to start any match with real intent or confidence. As others have said, we should be putting poor teams to the sword from the start, and get a goal as early as possible. Getting an early goal today enabled Man C to play in a relaxed way, with a bit of a swagger, and Fulham never looked likely to come back from it.

That's the difference, Man City were always going to win against Fulham, you just dont know what your going to get with Leicester, consistency is a Real problem! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 5 December 2020 Share Posted 5 December 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/55199926 Seriously, what does this bloke actually want? He wants diving and going down under minimal contact called out and dealt with then complains when it isn't given as a foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why we didn't look to do that was remarkable. This is what annoys me the most about Rodgers, most of his mistakes are avoidable. At the end of last season I was a bit more sympathetic because we’d ran out of steam, we’d exhausted most of our options. I don’t think anything really would have worked. This season though playing passively, very little width and 4 (four) central midfielders against Fulham obviously wasn’t going to work. I’m being completely serious here, you could ask 11 year old fans for a line up and 95% of them wouldn’t have picked a worse XI than what we put out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep.. you get the odd freak result. Villa v Liverpool Norwich against Manchester City last season. But we get freak results all the bloody time. Man City, Arsenal, Leeds (A)...9 points.

I cant take any more grief at work, loosing to Sheffield United who haven't won a game yet will be horrendous!! Might have to pull a sicky!

Phube Posted 5 December 2020 Share Posted 5 December 2020 I’m surprised how quickly and with what seems like no discussion or thought on competition integrity that fans are being let into premier league games in Tier Two areas. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adejo92 Posted 5 December 2020 Share Posted 5 December 2020 (edited) How long until the soft penalty or fraudulent VAR decision. I don't want to complain for the sake of (I'll do it anyway) but surely its all teams have fans or no teams have fans. Unfair advantage surely? Not that it makes much difference at stadiums like West Hams where there aren't fans at the best of times.

Sir Shep Posted 5 December 2020 Share Posted 5 December 2020 Are away fans allowed in? Just doesn’t seem fair if not and whilst I appreciate Manchester is in tier 3 a lot of their “fans” aren’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
