Too easy to criticise a man who's been given nothing. He's only just nicely got his backroom staff in place. We're playing in the PL with a weaker squad than we had last year.
Been watching city since 1958, but the one moment that will live with me for the rest of my life is that of 3000 Geordie's singing "we're going to Wembley" after they went ahead, being stopped dead in there tracks by city as they equalized , poor bastards didn't even have time to finish the chant.
Henriksen was great when he came on and even gave a good account of himself on the left, he got to the by line and got balls in the box. If we stick to 4-4-2 i'd like to see him as the left sided midfielder instead of Mason (probably infant of Robertson not Tymon as Henriksen struggles a little defensively i think).
I don't disagree, but "cracking job" wouldn't see us losing 6-1 to Bournemouth or 3-0 to Sunderland because of poor selections or tactics.
I don't know what fans expect. We haven't faced a team so far that has had a worse team on paper than us. For us not to be completely dead and buried is some achievement.
the three sat next to me must have had some mystical powers and were able to look into the future, for as soon as city equalized they got up and left.
I don't know what happened to the big mob of corporates that were there, they all disappeared ahead of extra time. About half a dozen of them got thrown out within five minutes of kick off, I've no idea why, I didn't see them do anything.
Burnley are similar to us but they have more than 15 fit outfield players at once. Sunderland have Defoe, and he's one hell of a goal scorer.
And we have Snodgrass. We're splitting hairs here now but there are plenty of squads of similar capability to us.
Did I hear right on Humberside last night Burnsy say that if MP want to bring anyone in come January , he'll have to sell first and that Snodgrass if a reasonable offer comes in could be sold.
I don't think he was suggesting Snodgrass would be sold, he was just saying that there's been a suggestion that Phelan would have to sell before he could buy and selling someone like Snodgrass just to free up some cash would be daft.
