Re: Neil Warnock

If we want to talk about percentages, the amount of chances created by free kicks, corners and throw ins is around 11% of all chances created. 23% of Championship goals come from set pieces, so it's hardly high percentage football unless you've got great delivery and lots of tall players, which we haven't got.

Perhaps some of us are getting a bit confused by what you mean by long ball. Are you advocating just whacking it aimlessly upfield in the hope of winning a flick-on or getting the second ball? As percentages go, it's pretty low percentage football. With the players we have it would be almost 0% successful.

There's a difference between long ball and direct. It's very possible to be a direct side who gets the ball forward early

I thought the man who wants us playing liquid football would turn up with some kind of philosophical burger to sell

Well I ain't buying it

Stoke City 2008 to 2018

Ten years they upset the big boys with anti football you lot would call it

Ten years of them beating the likes of united and spurs

And all some would do was to say it was boring football

Re: Neil Warnock

Yes it was. Look back at the highlights of the Villa game. We played some lovely stuff. We weren't long ball at Wolves, either.

I don't need to look at highlights . I was at both games .

Re: Neil Warnock

I reckon the vast majority of City fans would say the best football we played that season was at the start, when we were hardly a side that whacked it upfield with little aim. I've read so many times on here that the football we were playing at the end of the season was atritional at times and I agree.

Surely not; you and everyone else are clearly deluded.

Meanwhile…..Carlos Corberan has lost two but won 8 since taking over at West Brom.

Wasn’t he available when the club fired Morison?

Really wanted us to go for him. Was never likely though. Doubt they've even heard of him.

Until May I’m sure they would

Of course they would.

Most people want fast-attacking football with the ball arriving in the box quickly and players having some shots in a game, not 90 minutes with one shot on target all game and hardly any other shots.

One of the best parts of the game from a fan's point of view is celebrating goals.

And we played the same long ball, aimless football, that we used at the end of the season? You're prepared to commit yourself to this answer? I suggest you've been smoking too much wacky stuff.

I couldn't agree more, but the reason we're hardly getting any shots on target or goals is because we're desperately short of talent in attacking areas, not what football we play.

I've never suggested I want us playing whatever the feck liquid football is.

I just think hoofing the ball aimlessly up field is a total waste of time and is utterly boring. I asked you a question about the difference between direct football and long ball football. Perhaps you'll answer it.
