Bigger picture is we're on a worryingly long losing streak. LR admitted he doesn't know how to fix the problem, the problem being we need to be more ruthless in both boxes - a pretty fundamental issue for a football team that wants to win matches.
Rosenior doesnt how to fix the problem because he his way out of his depth,said it from day one

I feel like one of the problems is the players and manager hiding behind the ‘process’

They believe if they stick to the blueprint, over the course of the season it will result in success.

Sticking to the process has resulted in boring, slow, safe, football.

We need to ****ing fight every game, we need to adapt, we need dynamic football. I’m bored of this process driven corporate bollocks that clearly isn’t working.

A good process SHOULD equal a good performance which in turn SHOULD equal a good result but it’s ****ing not, so change something!

Football has been over complicated, and is too unpredictable for that to work.

I know opinions are opinions but did you honestly think last night was boring?

Frustrations aside, I really enjoyed the game.

Last night was many things. But I thought it was far from boring. There was a spell from beginning of second half till about 70 mins where we had the best energy and pressing I’ve seen this team have all season. Oddly it stopped when we brought Lokilo on
 
Vaughan needs to switch wings. He'd be better on the right...He hasn't got a left foot, comes inside all the time and gets easily snuffed out. IMHO He would be more effective using his trickery and speed to get around the back on the right.
He doesn't have any speed
 
Last night was one of the better ones but overall I’d say we’re quite boring to watch, always going for the safe option instead of taking risks.

You are absolutely right in what you say Tigerboy98. We only take risks when we are forced to (usually a goal down) but this needs to happen from minute 1. Putting teams under pressure not only puts them on the back foot, but also gives us a lot of confidence. Gives the crowd confidence etc. We have some excellent technical players who would thrive, if they were more confident.

We are scared to take risks in fear of losing the ball. But at this level, risks and a variety of attacking play is what is needed to score goals.

Fair enough. I couldn’t disagree more though. This is the most I’m enjoying watching City in years.
