Could you imagine having Mads in that game? A keeper who was actually able to kick the ball to a player. If i recall, with 1 minute left Iversen just booted it out of play and Deano went mental.

Lol, I was off my seat during the final minutes of the game because I could just feel a lucky goal coming to save us from going down. Was hoping that since Newcastle spent so much time in attack, they would forget how to defend and let something slip through. But I think they needed the 1 point to qualify for Champions League and their next and final match was Chelsea, so they didn't want to take any risks with that.

Can you imagine the reaction last season if Vestergaard had lined up to take a free kick....meltdown

TBF there used to be a video, I think it was before a Denmark game or training where he ran up and hit a ball from about 40-45 yards, like an arrow into the top corner past Kasper, who didn't even have chance to move and there was no wall either!

When we start to batter teams.

Ahh. So it will only of clicked when we start battering teams. What if we don’t?  Could it still all have clicked then?  My point was, missed by the knuckle draggers, that it is a difficult thing to  assess.

Isnt it fantastic to be enjoying football again! Enzo has been fantastic as have the players.  They look calm, composed and full of belief and most importantly they are enjoying football again with big smiles on their faces 💙

I no longer understand English. I presume these are good things! 

conveniently leaving out the context of the 15 mins i saw where he gave the ball away multiple times and didn't shoot from 8 yards out.

The Bristol City number 17 has a super power of recovery. He obviously had a serious, life threatening injury by the touchline in front of the West Stand. Clutching his knee/shin in a curled up ball I honestly feared the worst. Thankfully, the ref waving play on was the catalyst for number 17's super power to activate and he was immediately up and running at full pace thereafter. Phew! 

 

Embarrassing.

KDH did the same the other night.

Bristol City fans still sound triggered about the Vardy celebration. Not sure if they know the 'grass' song has become one of the most boring and unoriginal in the past couple of years. Almost as if they think they are the only fans to ever sing it. I'll miss it when he finally retires. It probably has more effect than any songs that we sing in support of our players.

Our shithousery in the last few games has been immense.

 

McAteer clucking his arms like a bird against Norwich, Vardy running the length of the pitch. 

 

Love it.

Love all these comments about adapting to Enzo ball. Wonder if, penultimate game of the season, people on here will still be saying, ‘We’ll be unstoppable when it clicks.’?

I think i get what you're saying. 

 

There're a lot of posters here that are saying we're only playing in 1s/2nd gear, and that comment about it clicking, but i'm inclined to think that, yes, this is it - this is us clicking, certainly as far as the maresca-plan is concerned.

 

I don't think we'll see us play at a pace that people recognise as 5th gear; i don't think a maresca team will ever be a sports car, more like a Rolls just gently cruising through the countryside.

 

However, I do think with the 'clicking' thing, that we haven't seen the full package yet, i think it will develop and players will become more natural and that's, i suppose, the 'click' I'm hoping for, but, yeah, tactically, we've already clicked.

 

Or maybe you mean something completely different :D

It'd be nice but I think we'll see a large majority of teams come to The KP shut up shop and sit deep which will prove difficult to batter in terms of goals. Happy to be proven wrong of course but signs at the moment suggest we can't quite kill off the more defensive and limited approach minded sides. 

It could just as easily happen away where teams will attack us and get picked off. It nearly happened to Southampton.

We'll have the occasional howler like Hull... teams like Millwall or Birmingham will have a lucky day against us.

Admittedly they were playing a poor QPR team, but Birmingham looked decent the other day - very good on the counter, so a reasonable candidate to get a result, and it probably wouldn't be lucky....

...what if it has clicked already and the proof is buried in our constant inability to be efficient in the final third!!!

The amount of poor decisions we have taken whilst pressing for a goal and outnumbering teams on a break, only to choose the wrong pass, has been a feature of our play for quite a few seasons.

    If that is the metric that we are using, then we may be a lot further forward than you think.

I think it's probably a bit of both - I think, tactically, it has clicked - but even when something has clicked it still needs to be mastered.  For me, right now, we're at the stage where we know what we want to do, and get most of it right and some of it wrong.

 

So i think what the 'when we click' contingent are actually hinting at is 'when we master it'.

And that's the point of it not quite clicking yet. The reason we didn't take brizzle to the cleaners yesterday on the scoresheet was because the decision making wasn't quite there yet: KDH and Mavididi still shooting when they should pass and passing when they should shoot. Lot of cutbacks that were just into a rough area. As we play more in this system, players will grasp where each other are and are supposed to be, at which point more and more chances in terms of actual shots (we got into lots of good shooting positions yesterday but gave them up because the final decision wasn't the right one) and will absolutely muller sides 

Although what you observe is correct, it really has nothing to do with the concept of 'things clicking' - that's just poor individual performance you're describing.

I think i heard them 2 or 3 times in the game. Most noticeably as Vardy stepped up to the penalty. Idiots. Imagine rating some of your players 7/8 and 9 after that!

On the broadcast, bristol were singing through most of the second half, the home crowd, sadly, not so much....
