Your midfield is bypassed very easily, but as soon as they are they rush to fill the box and join the defenders and the box resembles one of those under 9 games where everyone is within 20 yards of each other... Yet they are all Cardiff players. Teams just cant seem to stick it in the net.

I guess picking up points from games you deserve nothing from can be viewed as a good thing, however if I was a fan id be asking "why dont we deserve them in the first place?". Malky has had a massive budget to work with and the football on display is honestly the worst brand of football I have seen at this level. Stoke look like swarve spaniards in comparison.... But then you are seemingly hard to beat with your defending in numbers.

Im offering no solutions here, ive just realised your team confuses me. How can a team consistantly play so badly yet still not lose? It cant be luck as its happened consistantly since he took over. Rarely, im at a loss, i have no idea. Discuss.


Why are you watching Cardiff, yet claim to hate us? I absoluting despise everything Swansea and don't watch you on tv. Surely, you should be the same.

We were not very good against Kuban, however Kuban looked better than you


Well I can not respond to that as I did not watch another one of your very very poor showings to the whole of Europe. My mates who are all swansea fans as I live in swansea can't believe you actually won the 2nd game and even managed to draw the game this week.... Only the words that they said earlier today.... But I really hope you play like this on Sunday!

Well you have some odd friends then. A draw was a fair result against Kuban I guess although conceding a 94th min pen could be construed as unlucky. I dont think a defeat was even in question was it? And the game prior which you refer we were far superior.

We top the group with a near perfect record, we can afford a bad performance once in a while, just as you could if you topped the league with a near perfect record... Which you arent and dont have its fair to say :D

Wow! You do not like when the tides are turned do you? I live in swansea and play football in the swansea league and funny enough a lot of the boys have started to support swansea in the last couple of years.... They told me Swansea were dreadful in their last 2 European games so let's hope you play like this on Sunday! But then again you are not a real fan so you wouldn't know how bad they played?.....

What a curious opinion?

I dont like it because im giving you facts? :? Would you like me to bring up the match stats for you, would that help? We outplayed St Gallen and played the same as Kuban conceding a last minute penalty. Yet top the group. Which oart are you having issues understanding? :?

And im not a real fan how exactly? Are you just being silly young man? :lol:

Same amount of shots for both teams in one game and 3 more in another for teams that would probably considered as group fillers..... Oh yeh but you definitely outplayed them by having 3 more shots.....

I said earlier I can't believe we did not get a good thumping Marshall was ridiculous today.

and 3 more in another for teams that would probably considered as group fillers

so we deserved to win then. More possession, more chances created.

..... Oh yeh but you definitely outplayed them by having 3 more shots.....

so we deserved to lose for creating DOUBLE the genuine chances of the opponent? :lol:

likewise. You should have just stopped at that.

So come on then Mourinho what did you expect? Cardiff to be playing like Barca or the latest bum boys Munich?
25 mill is nothing if you are improving a team that has just been promoted, Malky went for impact players. Three are defensive. So Our defence has improved even if it is filling the box. As long as Malky is at Cardiff things wont change, we will still have the defensive set up because thats what he knows best within football. Its got us to where we are and we have held good teams up, so on to the next one for him and the lads.

Hes spent £50m in a season and a quarter hasnt he?

i expected your team as a result to be able to string 4 passes together to be honest. Especially on the back of a championship winning squad.

We havent even spent £50m in our whole Premier league stint on the back of a play off win and we have achieved 11th place, 9th place, European football and a cup win while playing excellent football.

Fair play roathy, the rod is surely trying to get a bite today. Bad day at the office I see because we didn't lose? Ah well, you can't have what you want all the time. You can post all the stats you want, a stat means nothing unless you convert a chance, that's all that needs to be said. A stat of a chance of target could be a tame pass/cross that is on target or a wiked shot that needs to be saved full stretch, it still goes down as a shot on target. The same can be said about possession, you can be probing all game in the opponents penalty area or passing it about your own penalty area, stats say the same thing. So don't confuse stats as the definitive proof that a team deserved to win or not because that isn't always the case. We didn't play great yesterday i would admit, but Norwich didn't necessarily deserve to win simply as they had more possession/ shots on target. They didn't do enough to win, simple as that. We defended well and Marshall was immense. We arguably had the best chance of the game, so it could have gone either way. The way I see it is that it's a point gained away from home which keeps us on course for a better position in the league.

Yes you are looking for bites, that's correct. Point gained away from home. Very happy considering we didn't play very well. I also agree that Norwich didn't do too much to threaten us as a whole. 10 maybe 11 shots on target. I'd say perhaps 3-4 perhaps could have gone in as they were good saves, apart from that straight forward saves I would expect any keeper to make, so I would agree that Norwich didn't really deserve to win. This is also backed up by fans I spoke to leaving the ground Yesterday. Over the 90 minutes, they edged it but certainly didn't deserve to win.

Don't agree sorry, my opinion which is what I'm entitled to as a forum poster, I'm stunned that you expect people to agree with your views when you disagree with alot yourself with posters. I spoke to fans of both clubs leaving the ground and both agreed that perhaps a draw was a fair result despite the chances Norwich created. They didn't do enough to win.
