He's saying Traore is NUMBER 10 - not that no one else can play the number 10 role -just that two players can't have the number 10 shirt!

Yes the penny dropped, he's a tough poster to engage with because hard to know when he's talking seriously or just extracting urine as he was in this case.

<laugh> I will own it because plenty on here do absolutely hate him. Because they haven't used the word doesn't make it any less so. Quite amusing those who have taken issue with my wording though.. ;) Just need Kalman to pop in to complete the set.
Plenty? Go on then, name them. And if my name is in there then that's confirmation (as if it was needed) that you are talking absolute bollocks. And once again just **** off with your condescending emojis and comments.

Must just be my imagination that you criticise him when he talks positively and criticise him when he slams the players. Just hours ago you wailed about Grant McCann's tactical masterclass against him in a League Cup game. That's on top of your complaints about his spin about signings as if bringing in good signings is now a negative and just a distraction from his horrid playing style. I mean I could go on and that's just your posting. Then there's Kalman's posting about him too.. Few others fit the bill as well I would warrant a guess.

But hey, it's all bollocks isn't it. It's funny because the way you post about Rosenior is very much how I posted about Shota, and I couldn't stand the ****. But it must just be a coincidence.

Go on...how do you know people "absolutely do hate him"
 
So we hate Liam because we think the football he’s in charge of is ****? :emoticon-0102-bigsm I think you’d struggle to find any city supporter that hates him, he was apart of our best years and genuinely cares about the club.

Obviously when things are going bad people will nitpick but that’s definitely not hatred of him, we all want him to succeed but that doesn’t mean sitting quietly while we can see obvious mistakes from the board and manager.

I'm sure the majority don't and do want him to succeed, but there's definitely a vocal minority on here who seize on every opportunity to talk down about him and criticise him and call him names. The fact some have become so defensive about the suggestion that that group exists says a lot in and of itself.

I know this might be a hard concept for you to grasp, but.... You can criticise a person's tactics, his style of play and how he's doing in his job etc without hating him as person.

I know that might be hard for you get your head around, but just try to

Oh thank you for explaining that all to me that makes so much sense now mate!! I had no idea until you said that.

Not saying you're wrong but a vocal minority is beginning to emerge

I think people becoming defensive is because you’re talking **** and they don’t hate him? I’m sure most people here would happily admit if they hated someone.

There's not just criticism of his football, there's completely baseless accusations about getting rid of senior players because they don't agree with his ****e tactics, or only wanting players from Derby or Brighton and all sorts of other made up nonsense. He's even got it in the neck on this thread for being upbeat and optimistic.

Maybe there is, but again doesn't mean they hate him as a person does it
 
Well by your posts it was fairly obvious you didn't, so thought I'd try and make it a little clearer for you

The fact that you can't comprehend the point I'm making despite numerous other posters seeing the same things means that this discussion is pointless. But if you want to carry on being a condescending **** I'll carry on being one right back. The criticism goes beyond the professional and the scurrilous gossip about him is quite personal in places. If you think that's ok then that says plenty about you.

If I make a general comment that doesn't apply to people, they have no need to get defensive if it doesn't apply to them. I'm not the only one who sees it though, so not quite sure I'm talking ****.

Or not wanting senior players because he doesn't want players who'll question him.

I have no idea what Shota is like as a person, I've never met him, but that doesn't mean I didn't hate him as City manager. Why are you adding the distinction of 'hating as a person' when I never said that?
