Pretty much, yep. We don't have a playmaker, we don't have any width, we don't have a targetman and we don't have a player that can do things from nowhere. I'm not sure where the chances are supposed to come from in this setup, to be honest.
More pissing about in the midfield and then scrappy at the back. Nobody goes to the man, then two players do. Poor. Townsend trying to put in another ball from the right. He's probably been our best player.
I don't want to be negative but watching us play how can you be positive? We are awful. Who is playing well tonight? Jesus wept
How many times have we seen this before though, we put some good results together then lose and collapse. Nothing at the moment has changed. Then we get a win and off we go.
The crowd are pissed off, again. Fairly understandable, but getting on the back of youngsters is unnecessary and counterproductive. Bentaleb's one of ours. Would be nice if he could be shown some patience. Not having a good night, admittedly.
Confidence is an amazing thing. The team looked very good not so long ago--though not this 11, I'll grant you. But you can feel the confidence level sinking through the floor at this point. And for once a cross into a packed box finds someone, and Paulinho misses by a few inches. Low res feed, I thought it was in for a split second!
What this proves is this formation at home does not work. We look fairly comfortable defensively but are showing nothing going forward. Soldado is on his own. Paulinho isn't the type of player to link the play (I'm struggling to think what type of player he actually is). Go 4-4-2 and have 2 wingers and Kane and Soldado up front with just Bentaleb or stambouli with Eriksen behind the front 2. We may concede but we may actually get a ****ing shot on target!
Ok cracker. Somebody before the match actually predicted a goal fest, wow, that was brave. City go one nil with the help of a deflection with Lampard at the end of it, bloody Chelsea's shadow of luck following him to City.
Communication at the back is poor, perhaps understandably. Fazio's been caught blindside on several occasions. Really need to talk more, though the language barrier could be an issue.
1-0 Forest. Rubbish, half-arsed defending and Grant puts them ahead. I'll be surprised if we can get this back, to be honest. We've done nothing up front.
