How long till his return, he on the grass yet
Maybe we can send Kanga to the Belgium club in January.
Yep he's on the grass and doing well within the building with the group.How long till his return, he on the grass yet
I.think he was carrying a knock.
If Goutas keeps that form up he will takes some shifting.
Last night it seemed that City had all but abandoned the obsession with fannying about at the back and were looking to move the ball forward much quicker. That will suit Goutas, who can concentrate on what he does best, which is defending.
The Goutas that played last night and the Daland that played against Swansea could make a formidable partnership at this level.
I would drop Chambers.
I'd disagree with the first statement in that mucking around at the back gives the opposition the time to make a cup of tea and read the racing results.moving the ball slowly from the back isn't the problem,it's the last third of the pitch and particularly around the pelanty box.We have very little movement,midfielders who don't gamble and forwards with little pace and poor movement.....apart from that we're doing great
I'd also say that your other criticisms have been valid up until last night where there was a distinct improvement all round, in midfield and in attack.
What is missing is that number 9 striker.

Pissing about at the back and conceding so many goals will naturally have the rest of the team wary of going forward. Sort out some sort of stability at the back and that alone would psychologically help the rest of the team to try and do their bit.
I tend to agree.
I think Fish will be making a claim as well.wouldnt rule chambers out.
It goes to show you need everyone in the squad.
Rhigamota has come back from nowhere and Bagan really.
I don't think our defenders are comfortable passing out from the back so why put pressure on them.
It's a trend or fashion and all coaches follow because pep started it so it must be good.
Play the game to your strengths not to other coaches methods particularly one where money is not an obstacle.
Perhaps we will set a new trend call it get it forward quickly and score.
I know it's on a whole different level but watch Man City or indeed any Premier team ,build up can appear painfully slow and only quickens around the opposition box.Only time teams attack at pace is in transition.Spanish football was played like that long before we adopted it...coincidence or what?
Yes, but if you are not very good at it why do it? There is no need to play the same way as everyone else.
Shoaly he can only improve.
He needs to Carp Diem
Our defence sat deeper last night and utilised the channels better by playing up to the wingers, or getting Robertson to play through the centre. That stopped the Millwall attacking players getting in behind our CBs, as has been the issue all season. We just don’t have enough pace in defence to race back from the opposition box to defend a counter attack.
Problem we have it we try to initiate a pressing game ,unfortunately Kanga and Meite aren't mobile enough for that system .But you still need these type of players due to the physicality of the Championship .Hopefully whoever takes the job can get the right combination up.top.Last.two games we've actually seen some crosses into the danger area ,something we've failed to do.in previous games .
