Birmingham City (A) Match Thread

It'll be 1-5 by the 50th minute.

Some questionable decision making in the final 3rd. Should be out of sight

Haha - honestly I don’t see what Fatawu brings to the party. 

He’s set up two! Both lovely paced passes 

[Sly]

Daka is causing them issues by dragging defenders around. 
 

Winks, Ndidi and KDH have been magnificent as well. 
 

We setup to counter from the off and those quick balls into the midfield, out to the wide players is what is causing them issues.

 

Daka dropping and occupying defenders is allowing the space for others. If he’d have finished one of those chances, I’d have been a bit happier. 

 

Birmingham are leaving us so much space from their press. Once we pass it, we’re in. If they continue to press like they are, we’ll get another.

Now we playing a way I like, keep it up.

 

Hopefully Enzo is ok with it.

We are finding so much space in their midfield. Love that Winks and Vesty are just sending balls into the midfield constantly

[Shane]

our press when we lose the ball has been excellent tonight

He's assisted both goals

This, what game are you watching mate?

[Saxondale]

Lovely half of football that. And usually we’re more subdued in the first half!

Fatawu - 2 assists

Yes - just imagine if he’d played well

Daka couldn't finish his dinner.

 

Decision making is woeful.

 

He's done everything well apart from inside the box.

 

He's the anti-Yakubu.

His finishing is actually pretty good

[KFS]

Surprised they would air “Rooney getting stuffed by 11 young men” on cable tv

Don’t want to go to any of your parties then! 

[South Shire Fox]

Need to stop trying to do too much and put the ball in the net. Put this game to bed before they have a chance to get back into it

Created both our big chances, but his pass completion is poor at just 43%

Yea, feel a bit stupid considering he has 2 assists to say he looks poor tonight.. probably due to the high standards he's set

Daka's link up play has been brilliant, but in the box he's terrible. Not sure what's got into him

he needs to relax a bit more. I figure it’s lack of game time that is affecting him and some desperation to do well. Being frozen out hasn’t helped. 

[Big Blue Maff]

Good possession based football, first half from Leicester, showed quality at times

3 assists?

Fatawu - poor

 

Are you high

[trabuch]

If we come out after half time like we did in the last couple of matches this will be all over after 10 more minutes. We just need to avoid becoming sloppy, because we are way ahead on ability.

Deeney is retarded. He just said “I watched the game against Cardiff and thought he was average, watched the game against Cardiff and thought he was very good. It’s what one you’re gonna get out of him”

Makes sense. 

 

calling someone  a retard is ok on here it seems  

[Chelmofox]

Daka's link up play has been really good. His decision making in the final 3rd not so much. He's clearly been working on his overall game.

[CosbehFox]

I shouldn’t be as annoyed as I am but I’m getting utterly pissed off at our inability to defend direct football. Continually give poorer sides a way back into it by the inability to defend high balls and crosses.
