Anyone missing henriksen?? he came with high hopes Looked dog **** Redeemed himself somewhat And goes out looking a **** What a way to be remembered Got his money tho
Seeing as you apparently went yesterday mate and bearing in mind rave reports about the performance I’m interested in who is making our midfield tick? According to some reports we are now counter attacking teams on the break so to speak? Assuming we are not lumping it long,who is setting up the initial killer passes out wide of our of defence to turn the opposition and create the breaks? Genuine question as not seen City live this season.
When the manager left Stewart out for the Forest game, I think many of us wondered who was going to tackle. I really like Stewart and feel he'll be back soon but Lopez was excellent yesterday (and previous away game I saw at Luton, he was excellent too). So much energy and very quick, he was brilliant in front of the back four yesterday and also has a lot of self belief on the ball. Also playing Irvine deeper where he looks more composed has helped, and Toral is a very good number 10 although less impact yesterday. The other thing is that McCann has been accused of not having a plan B but in fact I think the team are playing quite differently from early in the season - less high pressing, more sitting and hitting teams on the break which suits us. Yet to see if the midfield can dominate at home, where harder to sit back, but believe me, Lopez is the real deal!
Careful what you drink in there, it puts you on your back! The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
HENRICKSEN Was it his fault the club agreed a contract with him... NO Has he slagged the club off at any stage even though he's not playing...NO Was he prepared to move if an offer came in for him despite perhaps a lucrative contract...YES Was/Is he prepared to play for this club/ our club and give his best if selected... YES Was it his fault that he didnt' feature in McCanns plans...NO Was he perhaps likely about to trigger a bonus...MAYBE WHO KNIOWS Are we missing him at this time..NO Were we missing him immediately after the QPR game... YES
