One day we'll have a manager that has another plan for when the original plan only "works" for 28 minutes.

It was his plan that invited pressure and put 7 players on the 18 yard box. He's ****ing mental.

Just what was this plan?

Pack our half with players and hope Swansea didn't score. That was about it.

He was quite happy with it right up until and after their second goal which is why he changed absolutely nothing until Bacuna went down, which was a blessing in disguise right there.

Keep it at nil nil for as long as possible.

It's abysmal.

He has genuinely lost the plot or really wants that pay off that possibly won't come for a while yet.

Crowd the penalty area, Boot it as far as you can. Repeat.

We should have gone with the same team we had against Reading. If we had lost having a go i'd be more reasonable.
That set up and tactics was 1980s rubbish..

To not have to think too much. It is Sunday after all. Everyone's had a long week.

It was something like: "We started well and the game plan worked for 28 minutes until they scored."

The bloke's got a point. The game plan worked right up until the point of the game where it didn't, and then it all went to shit. Give the guy a new contract.

Nobody played like that in the 80's, sure. teams were direct, but there was some method, like supporting your front player and moving into advances areas. I really believe that we are witnessing a MM meltdown. He's hung on for too long, it's all got a bit much for him, this passing and movement nonsense. He's footballs equivalent of the last Japanese soldier who refused to surrender some 20 years after the war had finished, waiting for a general to turn up in order to relieve him of his duties. Maybe Mehmet can call in Big Ron to give Mick the sad news.

The most bizarre part was McCarthy's claim that the game plan was working because Giles had missed a decent chance and City had won a free kick in a dangerous position.

He's very definitely lost the plot.

You could say that about every football match that ever took place "everything was fine until they scored". That's this answer. The guy doesn't give sh1t.

We played 442 in the 80s
This was a new masterplan that's so cunning only Mick and maybe Pep have the tactical nous to see how ahead of his time he is with this 5 center backs team.

They should have had a pen in the 3rd minute.

Feckin gameplan working the daft tw@t.

I can't remember exactly what he said when asked how he would turn it around for Fulham, but it was something along the lines of 'same again.... funny old game football.... you never know.... we are bound to win some time....'.

He also looked like someone who didn't expect to be in the job when Fulham comes around.

He's pinching Jimmy Greaves Catchphrase. That's enough reason to sack him.
