I was really disappointed with the quality of football on display last night. Ireland were very resolute and defended very well but going forward they resembled a Russell Slade team, whereas we resembled Cardiff under Trollope, keeping the ball with absolutely no imagination and cutting edge.
I must admit that the club football we are privileged to watch at the moment is far superior to the shit I watched last night.
Well, there's no way Ireland would have scored a goal like that against City - our keeper has the ball, we're under no pressure whatsoever and then about seven or eight seconds later, the ball is in our net, it just wouldn't happen with a Warnock team.
I reckon City v Ireland would have finished 0-0.
I think Zohore, Hoilett, Mendez Laing, Bamba and probably Gunnarsson / Ralls on this seasons form would have improved us last night. As a team however I think City would have had more pace and power than either.
Add Bale and Allen to the Welsh team and it's superior of course it is but without it starts to look weak.
I think Brechin City would have pushed both teams close.
Read somewhere (BBC I think) that this game had the most aerial battles out of every World Cup qualifier this campaign. It was painful too watch and the lack of quality was shocking from both teams.
Zohore and Mendez-Laing are a class apart from everyone who was on the pitch last night in their respective positions.
No.
Wales at home and then Ireland away as long as we don't go by bus.
I think we are fooling ourselves if we think City would beat teams that contain mostly Premiership players! Let's get to the Premiership first? Zohore is is star for us but can't get in the Denmark team, kept out by Cornelius!
Yes. Wales kept the ball and did nothing. City would have attacked with pace and I don't think they would have been able to stop us scoring. And Morrison would have bossed the defence.
Didn't see the match last night but I would say almost certainly. International teams are hampered by a lack of understanding, preparation time and normally a balanced selection due to unfamiliarity.
Compare that to the City in the current state and I would say we would even give a game to the real class acts of the international sides.
I was wondering then came I certainly think we would have competed very well against each side.
I dislike International football most games are bloody boring, nationalstic flag waving emotions cloud the reality that the football dished up is mind numbing .
Possibly but I don't think it's right to compare. I wouldn't might finding Zohore's and gunnarson's Welsh roots mind.
