We're 38 games into the season and I'm still not sure if this group of players are playing to their best abilities. I have a suspicion that Bulut is more often than not opting for a pragmatic approach to games rather than 'throw caution to the wind' and suffer the consequences. It's his 1st job in the EFL/PL and I reckon he is seeing City as a tick on his CV. Surely any manager with a view to next season and our current league position would be taking all the positive options. Bulut seems to be playing safe, and keeping City mid table to show his suitors what a good manager he is..

Well his plan has obviously backfired.

and yet...the first few games of the season (and a few scattered inbetween now and then) we have come out all guns blazing and put the opposition firmly on the ropes with our attack (including leading games 2-0!). Only for us to try and tuck tail run in the second half and get smashed before the game ends.
if there was ever a time to realise we are very weak at playing the defensive game but strong at our attacking (ground passing) game it was those first few games...but its a huge whoosh for this manager
