You and others get a tad confused. If we had players performing game after game, they’d be at a bigger club. Be a man for once and take it on the chin from Auntie. Your quick enough to dish it out 😎

[dml1954]

No surprise - we win away and all the negative posters either deny being negative in the first place, try to take credit for getting the tactics right or disappear altogether. There must be some very disappointed so called fans this evening.

He’s deserved the criticsm I gave him or are you saying he wasnt responsible for many of the goals I was complaining about? Yes, well played today but one swallow doesn’t make a summer. Hope he keeps it up and doesn’t slip back into old habits.

You can talk anyway you started a thread about can’t wait to get back to the championship and now you’re trying to take some sort of moral high ground 😂

Huddersfield are gone imo so there’s only 2 places up for grabs, we still need a few players in certainly a striker, Paterson has done brilliant but he doesn’t know where and when to make runs

[Mr Soul '68]

I see Bournemouth are in a bit of a decline. I fancy we could beat them in January then, as well as Huddersfield. Grab one at home to Spurs, and a maybe win at Newcastle (or am I being too optimistic after today's result, with regard to these two games?) and January could be a very profitable month points wise. Can't see us getting anything against the arse up at the Emirates mind.

I'm not so sure about that, they were poor against Burnley and Brighton and, Spurs apart, haven't played well for weeks.

Agree about Huddersfield. Newcastle next five games:

Newcastle v Man U
Chelsea v Newcastle
Newcastle v Cardiff
Newcastle v Man City
Tottenham v Newcastle

I'd like to think we can get more points in our next five games than them which should keep us out of the drop zone for another month.

[jamieccfc]

Maybe you could tell him? ......Oh wise one .

You don’t agree? I said he’s done brilliantly but he just doesn’t have that strikers instinct to run in to space/danger area, he’s phenomenal at closing down and doesn’t stop running he would be better if behind the striker but that depends how we play

[Mr Soul '68]

I'm not so sure about that, they were poor against Burnley and Brighton and, Spurs apart, haven't played well for weeks.

Hope so bob. Every Arsenal fan I have spoken to (all plastics mind), have said how unlucky we were to lose at home to them earlier this season. I'd be far more confident of getting something up there if Ramsey wasn't playing mind

[Tuerto]

You know who you are :xmasthumbup:

So soon after a great win? A bit childish don't you think? Why not post your views on the game and the performance of the players rather than goad other members.

Agree, they have superior players, that's a given. They also have a soft underbelly and i truly believe that we can rattle sides like that. Sitting off and making it comfortable will play into their hands.

Of course I agree. We all do. Most of our players have some shortcomings. They wouldn't play for us if they didn't.

No doubt I'm regarded as one of the negative positive but have a look at my comments in the match thread and you'll see that I was very happy with our performance long before we scored the winner.

I'm ****ing ecstatic. I thought we played well. We actually went for it. Which we haven't done away from home all season. But there's still a long way to go and it's going to be hard.

Interesting fact: Did you know that when we sing "they're the greatest team in football" it's actually not true?

When I sing it, I do believe it - its usually at a point when we have scored, are playing well or have just won. Its interesting that you obviously dont believe it. Its also interesting that there appear to be quite a few people, apart from me, on this board who think that there are some people who are always critical or negative about the team. How about having a go at them instead ?

If someone hasn’t played well I think we have a right as fans to voice our opinion you are afraid to say a bad word about the club for some reason, What’s your opinion of Cunningham? Because imo he’s been a weak link whenever he’s played and was unconvincing again yesterday

Nearly passed the ball in his own net then thank god ethridge was quick off the mark as his back pass nearly fell nicely for vardy as he was apparently the best or one of the best left backs in the championship I’ve been very disappointed with him

[MacAdder]

Its hard to be critical of anyone yesterday in what was a gutsy performance from top to bottom but, from what I have seen, I'm not convinced about Cunningham and he had a stinker against Burnley.

At least it seems that everyone is getting experience at this level which has to be good for the team and club in general.

Camarasa lost possession in a couple of areas which left us very exposed yet still managed to have an excellent overall performance. Before the game the splendid Leicester screen showed the goal they scored in the home game. The ease with which Chilwell was played into space behind Manga was only matched by the amount of space Bennett gave Gray for the goal. None of that happened yesterday and we were far tighter on the flanks. Cunningham has had some poor and average performances for us but for me yesterday was not one of them.

I thought Cunningham was pretty solid yesterday. It may be that there's a bit of footballing snobbery going on, Camarasa is afforded mistakes because he is more creative than the rest of our team. On the two occasions he did lose possession he definitely put his hand up for one of them acknowledging his mistake. Against West Ham and Watford he was nowhere near it, yet escaped without a critical scratch. If that had been Ralls he'd have been slaughtered. Fans aren't particularly objective at times, they have their favourites-which is fair enough-but it seems that some players are given much more flack than others-i hope Cunningham isn't one of those.

That’s a fair point but overall he doesn’t fill me with confidence tbf it is difficult to criticise the defence when they’ve kept a clean sheet

I don’t think it’s football snobbery at all. Players who make less mistakes, and provide more positive movements are going to be let off compared to those who regularly make mistakes.

Yes, Ralls would have probably got pelted for some of the balls Camarasa lost but that’s becayse it’s becoming an all too common theme with Ralls, he finds touch more than Lee Halfpenny, whereas Camarasa has been one of our best performers of the season, so the fans cut him some slack.

[J R Hartley]

Bennett > Cunningham all day long for me. He’s faster, and more comfortable on the ball.

Yet to see anything from Cunningham to suggest he was the best left back in the Championship. He’s not better than Bennett imo and certainly not better than Barry Douglas (Wolves, now with Leeds) or the lad Bryan who left the Wurzels for Fulham.

I was gonna basically what you just said. The facts are Cunningham is technically poor. His body always seems to be in the wrong position when he's on the ball. It is what it is but I personally prefer Bennett.

[BlueArmy 86]

I prefer Bennett but thought Cunningham had a solid game yesterday.

Even though he’s left footed he looks like a right footed player playing left back. It’s really odd.

I think that Cunningham will surprise a few people this season, he's no world beater but not as bad as people are trying to make out. Bennett on times can be an absolute liability, his positioning is poor for a fullback, on other occasions he does well but is very hit and miss. He doesn't receive a great deal of criticism. I disagree with you about there not being an element of snobbery attached to fans perception of footballers. Victor Camarasa has had some dog awful games where he hasn't had a sniff, the same could be said for Harry Arter, yet they get off lightly because of where they have come from and the perception by some fans that they're better than they really are. Ralls and Gunnar take the flak if we're poor in midfield-and rightly so if they've had stinkers-yet the other two don't get any criticism-the question is why? If Ralls had signed from Seville or Valencia this season after being a fringe player there then i'm pretty sure that he would be afforded more slack by fans who would cite a 'cultural' 'style' difference, players not on his wave length etc, instead of saying what's in front of them. Certain players are treated differently in my opinion, and i'm not defending ralls in this post as like I've said, i don't think he's good enough.

[jamieccfc]

I disagree, Ralls goes missing like a school boy playing against men, victor and Arter are always giving it their all and even when they’re having a bad game you always know they’re there Joe has gone missing to often and has become a spectator not believing in himself he just needs to keep it simple play the ball into space not dwell on the thing

The early goal (goals) knocked the stuffing out of us.
It wasn’t even ‘not competing’ it was just shit defending and a bit of bad luck ( for the first goal)

3 shots, 3 goals in 20 minutes, but if you give players of that quality space and time in the box that’s what will happen.

Piss poor defending. All three. Wasn’t scintillating world class play to open us up. Eriksen great finish but ball gets him too easily and then he has 4 players around him. The other 2 goals absolute shockers from a defensive point of view.

Lost track of the number of times a heavily outnumbered Spurs player received the ball when we had chances to clear. We were lucky Spurs were not as clinical as Citeh or United.

I don’t know if it’s a psychology thing as we are playing world class players but we look so nervous against the big boys and balls that would no doubt be cleared against lesser teams, in the championship last year too, are not being dealt with.

Before the positive apostles have a go at me it’s only what Warnock said himself after the game today and United game.Sunday league defending he described it as.

As he said himself It’s difficult enough against these teams without gifting the goals.

After the United game, followed by 2 clean sheets I’m sure Warnock would be as shocked as us all with the capitulation first 10 minutes.

You get 'uppity' when other people point out when he has had a good game. You have been slagging him off all season and even refused to agree he had a good game last Saturday. As I have said on a number of occasions you are a hypocrite, who cant take criticism of your views and never, ever have anything good to say about the team. You are only interested in slagging them off and causing arguments.

After the United game, followed by 2 clean sheets I’m sure Warnock would be as shocked as us all with the capitulation first 10 minutes.

I agree. I thought our midfield did ok. Gunnarsson competed as did Camarasa. Arter was dragged around a bit but that was only cos we are so exposed insisting on man marking against teams with fluid movement.

Playing Paterson out wide so he could win high balls against Rose was far too basic for this level and Reid had a bit of a thankless task.

It was our back 4 that let us down. In the first half it was like they were playing on an ice rink!

They're all too slow and pedestrian. They can't even sort their feet out quickly to welly it up the park as this is all they want to do.

I just don't get Cunningham in the slightest. He looked like someone who had won a competition to play a premier league game. Piss poor!

:xmashehe:

Mate, hes is so far out of his depth he should be wearing armbands. At least Southampton had the sense to drag off George Weahs cousin!

Bennett makes mistakes and is sometimes found wanting at this level but he actually looks like a footballer and doesn’t panic in possession. I just don’t get it at all.

I’ve said elsewhere the defence is nervous against the big boys but today was shocking. Even in possession they were so nervous. The slightest press and they go to pieces. On more than one occasion they made hard work of a simple back pass to Etheridge.

Me too! I can't believe he gets picked over Bennett or even Peltier.

Are you joking? Gunnarsson was terrible last night. I was going to say Spurs rang rings around him, but basically they strolled around him. He looked completely outclassed from start to finish. We know he can perform at this level, but against Spurs he was utterly awful.

As for Camarasa, he looked like he didn't fancy it at all.

Of course Spurs ran rings around him, but part of the reason for that was the outnumbering due Spurs tactical approach. Kane was dropping in, then Son, then Ali. Eriksson just dragged Arter into full back positions and everywhere else he didn't want to go.

At least Gunnar kept trying to compete and Camarasa is our own player that looks remotely like he plays the same sport as the Tottenham players.

Something Warnock is doing, or not doing is making them go to pieces. They're so scared of making mistakes, they make about 10. We've just kept 2 clean sheets and then we completely fall to pieces inside a few minutes. Spurs are a really good side, and thank God they went into cruise control but whether they need to get a kick up the backside, change in tactics, or even see a sports psychologist to get a better mentality against the big boys I don't know. Clearly though, we need to do something. Maybe a new faces would help but we can't replace our whole back 4, and certainly not when they're usually competent.

Bennett, though is streets ahead of the rest of our back 4 in terms of possession and not being nervous. Think he's comfortable on the deck and doesn't fall to pieces when men are around him; and doesn't take 4 men on to lose it like Bamba does.

Well, I see that the usual 'doom and gloom merchants' are back out in force after a defeat against a top three Premier League side who had eleven current full internationals in their starting line up (top level international teams as well). So lets ask these people a question - before the game, how many goals were you expecting City to win by - two, three, four perhaps ? If so, you are obviously living in cloud cuckoo land. There was also a total lack of recognition last night, in the comments on here, of the efforts made by the team in the last seven days and the fact that we improved considerably in the last twenty five minutes last night and actually put Spurs under some pressure. I suspect that quite a few people who continually criticise everything City dont even go to the games and base their opinions from a cosy armchair view on their tv or laptop or perhaps listening on the radio. Thats fine if they cant get to the ground but does it give them an accurate idea on what is happening on the pitch or the right to slag players and management off at every opportunity - no.

I don't expect us to win. I do expect us to clear simple crosses and not fall to pieces, again! We're not learning from our mistakes against the big sides. How can we go to Leicester and Palace, defend and keep two clean sheets, then Spurs basically ask us one question, and we're 1-0 down. We're getting stuffed by the big sides at home and we're not even doing the basics, it's extremely dispiriting.

That’s because spurs wasn’t even trying the last 25 mins, I didn’t expect us to win but at least compete ffs we look a shambles against the big boys surely even you can see that? Was you not disappointed with some of the players performance?

[J R Hartley]

Had them under pressure last 25 :hehe:

Doesn’t make any difference if you’re at the ground, or watching on tv, to know Spurs did not get out of 1st gear after 30 minutes, and strolled to victory.

Even then a mix of poor finishing and good goalkeeping kept the score respectable.

A walk in the park would be an understatement, unfortunately it appears DML is walking on another planet if he thinks we had them under any kind of pressure.

I must admit, the thought crossed my mind too, but I didn't want to bring it up because you know, NEGATIVE.
