in defence of Burns, everyone who has played that DM role has been equally ineffective, we don't play it through the middle ever.
Thing is as well, they're winning. What's an easier way of defending a lead than the opposition passing it around their back line? They don't need to do anything except wait for us to get more desperate, then they'll just hit us on the break and win the game. Seriously, we need to get a ****ing grip. Every second ball is theirs, every cross is hitting the first man, every set piece bar Omur's has been a load of ****e, this is nothing short of abysmal given the funding that's been put in. Oh and we're the home side.
I’d rather have the owner than the clown we’ve got. He should have gone before the International break. He’s that far out of his depth he’s waving at the Titanic
We're leaving ourselves wide open to counter-attacking football,right up their Street!! 50/50 balls---2nd best No movement---no-one to play the ball up field to.... Scrappy Tigers,get stuck in and get the finger out before they bag another!!
Tbh I like Walter .. I really do, but I have no clue what he is wanting the players to try and implement here, defensively and attacking wise its like watching under 12s, there has to be a foundation to build on,you have to have movement to give the defence an out ball, you have to have plans to break teams down but I'm seeing nothing
When the centre backs have the ball, kamara and belloumi got upfront. Marvin and omour go wide. Theres no midfield other than burns, it’s 415. The centre backs can’t give a forward ball, Kamala looks like he’s caught in the headlights abit
It's a much more sketchy version that's for sure. We are going to get destroyed all the time this season as every opposing coach will know how to exploit us
I wouldn't mind a mistake that led to a goal as much if we actually had more efforts at the other end. As it stands, that could well decide the game and it's not the first time this season that a City player has made a mistake that has cost us a game.
