Secondly, winning a game usually means a team is set up to press and attack. This has an important side effect of getting the fans onside. Again, City have been woefully lacking in this respect.
An ideal scenario might be to have a strong defence, a dominating defensive midfielder, two mobile and constructive midfielders, at least one effective winger and one/two strikers who can find the back of the net.
Talk like that will get you a managerial role at the club. Hudson on gardening leave, would you trust him on yours?
