Lineker's Left Foot Posted 18 January 2007 Share Posted 18 January 2007 Even though we were 3-1 up last night, I just knew that we would go onto lose. It happens nearly everytime now, especially in the Cup. I wonder why this happens ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystonFox Posted 18 January 2007 Share Posted 18 January 2007 hate to admit it and im sorry but i saw it coming and i said to my mate "We cant possipbly lose it now, could we?" i'd rather have lost 4-3 in ET (or even on pens) rather than the goal in the 92nd min. 3rd time this season we have conceded a last minute goal. Villa Plymouth Fulham anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harpendenfox Posted 18 January 2007 Share Posted 18 January 2007 At the end of the day we were beaten by a slightly better team. If you look at Montella's two goals I think he did McCarthy postionally both times. Highest fee paid for McCarthy? Free Transfer Highest fee paid for Montella? 25 million euros. That's why we lost. Nothing to be ashamed of or criticise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to be ashamed of or criticise Mcarthy should of nailed him with montellas first goal he was right on him then backed off. We get scared when were winning, 2 goal cushion complasency kicked in, then fulham upped their game and we freaked out and lost the plot, midfield disappeared. and yeh probs did jinx ourselves singing Que-sera-sera but when your winning u think ur safe to sing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nibblington Posted 18 January 2007 Share Posted 18 January 2007 I rather think our problem is that we generally have no idea what to do when we get into a fairly commanding position. It hardly ever happens these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 18 January 2007 Share Posted 18 January 2007 Has to be down the experience. Our young team really needs ome experienced players to set an example. It certainly sounds as if we need a leader in defence, confidence and the fitness to see the job through. Our youngest and most inexperienced players - Fryatt, Porter, Wesolowski - all seemed to do fine but our defence seemed to lack any sort of leadership and sounded shambolic at times, particularly when it came to free kicks and corners. Such a shame because after seasons of misery our young side at last showed the sort of football we want to see regularly from City shirts. They were clearly outstanding at times. Sadly, our most experienced player, Danny Tiatto, failed to last once more, despite playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo V Posted 18 January 2007 Share Posted 18 January 2007 It cant be one thing that is the reason for us throwing away leads as it has happened for years. In the premier a couple that stand out was beating Newcastle 3-1 and the worst of the worst, winning 3-1 at Middlesbro in injury time. It always seems to happen away from home though for some reason???! Sandwiched inbetween the odd throwaway are games where we have held the lead and won the game. It only seems worse to us as fans as games like last night or the ones Ive already mention hurt so much! We dont talk about the game against Derby when we led in 2000 I think and they pulled it back to 2-2 before we won it in the last minute or the 2-0 win at Villa around the same time. We dont even talk about beating Man City away 3-0 about 3 years ago or 2-0 win over Pompey in the same season!!!! It just seems worse than it is due to the manner of defeat but loads of clubs suffer similar fates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 18 January 2007 Share Posted 18 January 2007 It's hardly his fault is it. I wasn't suggesting it was, but he's emphasised the point these last two seasons of how difficult it is for players of 32+ to be available for enough fixtures and to stay around for 90 minutes when they do. It seems quite important. The thing about Tiatto is that he has "attitude" and this conveys itself to others and every team needs someone on the pitch with that kind of presence. McCarthy has attitude personally but unfortunately, is not playing well and seems to be under far too much pressure to find time to inspire others. Pity. It is sometimes a fine line devides winners from losers and an effective leader in our defence would surely have made the difference yesterday - someone, more than anything, who could direct operations, identify dangers and organise ways of dealing with them.

As a keeper has a better veiw of the game than any of the rest of the side, I would expect Mike Stowell and his experience to be able read situations and failings in our defence and work on them in traininig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa Plymouth Fulham anymore? true but we have also scored late goals against fulham, wolves, birmingham. i think it just swings in roundabouts. we have conceded a fair share yes, particulaly in last relegation season but we went through a phase of scoring lots of goals in last minute. its the best wat to win a match but the worse way to lose one.
