Thread: Opposition managers

    Opposition managers

    Why do they always seem to have a good moan about City and complain about the referee every time their team loses against us? Which is more often than not this season!

    They need to look at the fair play table to see who the dirty sides are

    Yep, its weird.
    Just read that piece now and the only conclusion is that they are almost beaten before kick off due to what they seem to expect from a Warnock team.
    Once beaten they carry on with that dialogue, physicality, weak ref, time wasting.
    Bollocks, its football get on with it.

    The 'time wasting' he's referring to is done week in week out by virtually every team in the lead in games.

    No doubt including his.

    It's not pretty, but it works.

    What are they supposed to say? "we got out-worked, out-fought and I got out-coached"?

    Warburton said our second goal came from a long ball, totally ignoring Wards great run and shot. He also said our first goal came from a foul on his team which wasnt given and that they should have had a pelanty for hand ball by Manga. Presumably therefore he thought they should have won 1-0, even though they were totally outplayed and out thought. Warnock says it how it is even if we win, lose or draw.

    Another case of a team beaten before the ball is kicked. The excuses post-match almost seem rehearsed.
    3 wins and 3 clean sheets in a week suggests these managers need to work harder on the training ground with their respective teams to find out how to score against us, instead of passing the ball around the back 5 yards at a time.
    That in itself is time wasting.

    Totally agree.

    The sooner there is a timer introduced (as in rugby) the better.

    Quality.

    It amazes me how many managers ( and fans) think it's more important to pass the ball across the back 4 than it is to win balls in the box and defend properly.

    Luckily football is still, just about a physical game where possession is only worthwhile if you use it to create chances.

    Re: Opposition managers

    Possession football has only seemed to take off within the last decade with Pep Guardiola setting the precedent.

    Anything other than that is seen as “anti-football” as they call it.
    Score from a set-piece? How dare you.
    Score via route one? It should be disallowed.
    Every goal should have 30 passes in the build up and tapped in at the end.

    We should be relegated!

    I tend to agree. Although peps teams are actually threatening too. They score at will because they exploit space created by moving the ball...forest just opened themselves up to being countered and were quite shit at what they were trying to do

    The opposition fans are just as bad. I don’t know whether it’s laziness or ignorance but before we play them they are trotting out all the usual cliches about Neil Warnock teams. Then, after they’ve been beaten, they witter on about cheating, thuggery, anti football, that they’d rather be relegated than play like that, blah blah bollox...often having no bearing on what actually happened on the pitch. As funny as it is listening to their grizzling, now and then it would be refreshing to hear them acknowledge that they just weren’t good enough or they were beaten fair and square.

    In between the shite they spout there’s usually some fair reports on a game from opposition teams.
    The only two managers to give us credit so far this season that I can think of is Holloway and Bruce.
    Two experience and successful managers in this division that know what it’s about saying we’re as good as they’ve ever faced in this league.
    As opposed to the new boys (Warburton etc) who think they know about this league.

    I know who I’d rather listen to for their opinion.

    We're not playing Russel slade football here are we, football is all about being able to switch things up, use different tactics, there isn't one single way to play football like this lot bleat on about. We're in the championship..better teams than Cardiff use similar tactics where they press teams all over the pitch. People wouldn't moan if Bayern or Real did it...they would be praised for their high pressing and energy.
    Cardiff can play the ball on the floor, we have scored some lovely goals this year, we can also counter with pace or boot it route one.
    People swear we only play 80 yard balls from defence and kick the **** out of people.
    I remember Saiss was a dirty bastard for wolves..they didn't mention that after the game...

    Possession football peaked about 4 or 5 years ago, aggressive pressing and winning the ball against disorganised defences has been de rigeur for the last few seasons.
