Oh come on chazz! You can't honestly think niasse is good enough! I will say one thing for him, when one on one he knows where the net is but apart from that he's very much a headless chicken. Just my opinion but I just don't rate him at all! Although he would do a great job in the right team in the championship! But not worth 10mil. Also don't call me a ****tard! You are just showing your lack of intelligence with comments like that
I just can't help but feel he's a headless chicken peter. He doesn't create space for others which apart from scoring is his main job and I feel( again just my opinion) that it really hurt our attacking momentum! He always looked best for me when used from the bench as he was fresh and offered pace but when starting never really recreated that danger
Niasse has no ball control at all but he never gives up. I think a manager, as well as making sure he has a well organised defence, has to look at his striker(s) and get his midfield to play in such a way to give the striker(s) the best possible chances to score. Too many managers just seem to throw on forwards and let the midfield do what they want. Some strikers can score goals from that but most can't.
he seemed to do ok when balls were put in across the goal along the ground. Gosicki's crosses are less danger because he floats them from the left with his right foot. Next season he really needs to be on the right wing.
A simple question from me. Why cannot we win a PL game in May? It is our 5th season there and with different squads, managers /head coaches plus Dowie, the winless run goes relentlessly on with this season on track to being one of the worst.
Yes and he's quite right.. you sense that he knows he won't be here so he can tell it like it is.. There is something majorly wrong with modern football and it's caused by the money.. the lack of loyalty..the all too often not turning up to games by prima donna players who can get another contract.. relegation clauses.. pricing out of true fans by greedy owners.. TV power.. referees under pressure to give decisions to big clubs.. fans of big clubs 'not seeing' these decisons.. the lack of academies and local talent.. the 'matchday experience'.. the rebranding.. the product the brand and the consumerism.. what are we left with? Burton Albion away.. a new one at least..
Unfortunately the only time those sort of crosses come in is when you are counter attacking a team and slinging in early low crosses between the goalkeeper and defenders and sadly last week and today we were never in that position. We always looked more dangerous against a team who attacked as it left space for us to counter into but against teams like Sunderland and today where they sat and invited us on we looked quite clueless.
I would suggest that come May unless your have a decent squad of players time catches up with limited numbers.. and shows the lack of depth of quality we have had in our Premier League years ..
That's as good a theory as any and I dare suggest it's not too far off the mark - after a long season of struggle I'd guess the ''skinny'' PL squads we've had at our disposal are shattered both physically and mentally. We've definitely run out of steam this season, Silva's performed miracles getting a tune from this hotch-potch of a squad but it was only a matter of time before the home form dipped, once we'd lost to S'land the arse dropped out of a knackered squad big style.
Looking forward to Burton Albion away, never been there. Also looking forward to some really good away days with fans who sing loud and proud and not there for the opposition. I think that the fans were brilliant on Sunday, it was a great atmosphere, shame about the 90+ mins on the pitch. As someone else also said, great to see Damien Delaney come over and acknowledge us all.
Despite the score yesterday was one of the best away days this season thanks to our supporters Had a great day and so did the juniors. City fans are the best, especially at away games. As a bonus my every two month check up was fine today .
That goes to EVERYONE Ben I am no different to anyone on here. Just dont know what Grammer is (or zonal marking ) See you at the finish line if not before and hope more off here turn up
Hard luck Hull city ,Sunderland game obviously cost you dear! You'll be back soon am sure, Just wanted to say you're fans were a real credit and must be applauded for staying right to the end and even staying behind for Palace's lap of honour, Those who were there at Selhurst will remember the Palace fans didn't taunt you once. All the best for next season
