blueboy1905 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 This club, this manager, this team screams mid table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 We can say that the team is inexperienced but it’s been Cucurella, Silva and James that have lost their heads. Jackson, arguably, should not be anywhere near the first team, but that’s the hand Poch has been dealt. Gallagher had a chance to score at 1-1 and fluffed it. What I would pick Poch up on is starting Badashiele and Big Les in a game that was always going to be high tempo. They haven’t distinguished themselves. It’s just been an almighty mess really. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fowler Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Today we learned that Big Les stands for Big Lesbian and Nicholas Jackson's real name is Nicholas Whack Son. (No offence lesbians, I got your back!!!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not challenging for the league for a long time, definitely not while Pep is still at City. We need a patient rebuild, which is hard and for us fans, horrible, but the big spending is likely done now and our windows will go back to ‘normal’. Top half this season is ok (not good, but ok), next season has to be Europe though: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd25 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Honestly, this is really why you can’t say we’re back or we’re on the right path or any of that crap when it comes to this team after two decent games, there was always concerns with this lot that they’d mess it up the following game and that’s exactly what they’ve done. Talk about needing time to build consistency all you like, second half today was abysmal, admire those that are positive but you’ve gotta be realistic, a lot of weeks this just looks like a complete mess these owners have made and not a given we’ll become a top team again.

Over the next... two or three years we should be aiming at those positions. Opportunities will emerge to sell and buy need players in the coming windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva (or one to become leader) A New Striker A New Creative player / Winger Possibly a new Left Back Thats another 500 million+ to even think about challenging for the title.

Bison Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 21 minutes ago, kev61 said: The midfield was crying out for change first half -big Les in paricular yet Poch did nothing except hide behide his scarf. He's not a good coach so it's to be expected. Didn't see him speaking once to his team below any time they cut to him in the stands. I've never seen a manager in that position just watching the game like a fan. They're usually mic'd up and giving instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I was prepared to be inconsistent this season under Poch and a new inexperienced squad. But the players show degrees of naivety that truly baffles the mind. The reason and argument for having a player like Thiago Silva is so he can marshal the defence and be an influence on the defence. But this season we've seen the completely opposite. I've never seen us concede as many rudimentary goals as we have this season. We're just gonna have to accept this is the state of play for the rest of the season, See what Chelsea turns up on the day. And take it on the chin that we'll finish mid table again.

We need to concentrate on gelling the side together and coaching them to improve and to be honest with Pochettino at the helm we may as well be trying to teach them to fly given his record.

paulw66 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 You can talk about tactics and coaching until the cows come home but individual mistakes and pure stupidity cost us. At half time the game was there for the taking but we crumbled, giving away stupid foul after stupid foul 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fowler Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 At least if we don't make Europe this season, should genuinely make it easier to get into it next season. Genuine point. I would rather not make the Europa League - or make it into the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holymoly Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Buying a new house next week and moving the next so have been busy packing, listening to the regular ding of the updates on my phone in my pocket. Just saw the result. Well that went well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
