Match Day Thread Man City v Southampton Sunday 4th November 3pm

That Ings goal is great as most people have City defenders in fantasy football. Shame everyone has captained Aguero but I can live with him only having 1. Can we call it full time at half time?

 

Disappointing free kicks.
Why is no one spinning off and trying to get round the back of the defence instead of hitting into the same space they have cleared from three times now?

 

Rubbish. Not the board out on the pitch is it? Not the board who organises a team and gets them to play is it? Not the board who picks the starting 11.

 

No, it didn’t. Things had started to go South before then.

As far as I can tell, GAO seems to be an unintrusive owner. The money has been there. Not as much as we’d like, but certainly enough to where we should not be where we are.

Gao ultimately bears a decent chunk of the blame, but it’s for failing to clear house and stop the slide, not for causing it.

 

Is that the second nutmeg on Hoedt today?
Great covering by Lemina

 

I didn't want Hughes in the summer and I don't want him now. I said it back then, we are the new Sunderland. Fire a manager late on in the season who then keeps us up, give him a contract to fire him in December of the next season, rinse and repeat. Hopefully we sack Hughes before Christmas so we can actually have a few options on who to go for, not in March when you have to go for the same kind of manager as Hughes.

This isn't a knee jerk to today, I have been consistent with this since the first day he was appointed last season

 

Poor Gao has been sold a pup
Should have cleared out the management and brought in his own new outfit

 

The club is leaderless under Gao, at least under katharina she showed an interest, got involved etc and everyone was on the same wave length.

Now, not so much and it's filtering down to the playing squad, aided by bad recruitment.

 

4-1 now

 

Why didn’t Long go outside the defender then?

 

This is going to be 8

 

Just ****ing boot it. ****s sake.

 

The owner doesn’t need to be a leader, he pays Ralf, Les and Hughes for that.

 

Ah.

 

alright turning it off now. Even against City this performance is a joke.

 

Hoedt to blame for the first two and Cedric the second two

 

The board picks the manager who does those things, and they authorize the players to be signed.

When there are so many things wrong with the club, the blame has to start from the top. No, the board isn’t on the pitch, but as long as the board is there we can be fairly certain whoever is on the pitch will suck.

 

****ing hell. Watch the ****ing ball!

 

Hopefully it is now dawning on him that he's not getting his moneys worth

 

We are ****ing ****. In fact, far far beyond ****. I can't even describe it.
