deeane Koontz Posted September 29 Posted September 29 (edited) Best move ever leaving city. He'd be a 2 touch robot otherwise. Edited September 29 by deeane Koontz Quote
radcliffe white Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Wonder if city looked back would they have signed grealish knowing how well palmer has taken to it Quote

Not sure Doku, Grealish etc would entirely agree with that. Nevertheless, it was a brave thing to do, and he's certainly proving his worth at Chelsea. Quote

He wouldn't have been a robot at city- but he wanted to play regularly, and you can understand that. Quote
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 29 Site Supporter Posted September 29 Anyway, back to the playing out from the back business. Watched match of the day over the last couple of weeks or so, and it is remarkable how many top level teams (and good teams within it) are getting caught out. Just last night there were several examples- not just us that struggle with it. Quote

I hate watching it, Wolves were doing it in the last 10 minutes while a goal down last night. Gary Neville was slating em for it, rightly IMO, the Wolves fans are just stood around unable to create an atmosphere because they are watching their keeper have more touches than their midfielders and forwards. I love seeing teams punished for it, I naively think it will speed up the end of this style of play. We're still in September and we've already conceded 3 as a direct result of fannying around at the back, I bet we'd have to go back about 5 years to find the previous 3. Quote

Just watched My lads under 13s match. Their team was insistent of doing it. They conceeded 4 straight goals after getting caught out by us after our lads cottoned on it. It's a curse on football it really is. Quote

Site Supporter desperado Posted September 29 Site Supporter Posted September 29 They need another. You can sense Neville losing belief. Quote
Marc505 Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Same cycle they've been in for years, put a few results together and they're apparently back, then get pummelled to the point where everyone in the studio looks really grave while they say "Manchester United Football Club" a lot. It's great. Probably win a cup again though Quote
