" What is the problem? "

Once again I watched City play well today for 45 mins, then bang we looked like a different team and nearly lost the game through it.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Tactics.

We played the diamond and look good. 2nd half Wednesday reverted to 4 4 2 and took control of the game. We failed to adjust and nearly gave it away.

I don't think we'd have this issue if we had a bit of experience on the coaching staff.

Can't see it changing unfortunately.

If there's a problem during the game or a change of tactics by the opposition, I can't see how that's the coaching staffs fault. That's 100% down to the manager -Slade.

A manager always need advice from an assistant, in all walks of life.

I'm not a Slade supporter, not by a long way. I think he's completely out of his depth at this level.

But the fact that his assistant is Scott Young can't be helpful for him.

All good managers feed off their no2 different perspective? we do not have a good no2 no question of that!

When you are playing well and have a team under the cosh come half time an opposing manager is going to change things.

The test of Slade is then how he reacts. As with the rugby game yesterday our managers don't have plans for ALL potential changes.



ust like the rugby game yesterday

Nor am I a Slade supporter mate but during the game it's down to the manager to manage. You don't see other managers being told by their coaching staff what to do.
I can't imagine Mourinho, Rodgers, Van Gaal, Pullis or any decent manager being told to change tactics while the game is on.
Slade should be able to see this type of thing & leave the coaches to coach under his instruction during the week.

Spot on ! Slade plans for kick off but can't seem to be able to reshape our team during the match to counter threats

KG dies after an hour.....But we keep the same tactics.

Whitts is there for a snappy possession game but we hoof it
Gunnar must be a stone heavier (muscle) than when he arrived

Slade is still getting to grips with the championship, Young is nowhere near suitable for an assistant

Slade simply doesn't have the nous to respond to any change of tactics ... so time for a change of manager.
SLADE OUT!
I like some of the players he's brought in but he's incapable of moving us forward. The sooner Tan sees that the better

Why can't Slade and his coaches, if we can call them that,get City to play 90 minutes, it just beggers believe

Total lack of coaching experience at this level where a plan B/C is needed. Are the players fit enough?

Main problem seems to be keeping the ball and not giving it away, something that must be worked on in training. Interesting comment by Matt's Dhali in another thred viewtopic.php?f=2&t=154537 regarding training and attitude, as any school teacher would say, oh apart from Slade "must work harder"

A non footballing set up with crazy goings on - definitely poor coaching 100per cent and useless manager tactics - end off keep the faith fans were brilliant today got behind the players we'll done

Have to say that it is the manager, Annis!

We are one-dimensional and other teams can 'suss' us out quite quickly TBH

Even when we do play in the second half, it appears we are already 3 goals down, so we cannot be sure if it is down to us being better or the opposition taking their foot off the gas!

I don't think I've ever 'knocked' a manager on footballing terms, so it saddens me to say that Russell Slade is simply not up to the job that is required at THIS club!

Hopefully, Vincent Tan and Dalman will talk very soon and the Vet called ASAP!

The players must take the blame too. I don't think they are good enough in knowing what to do when the opposition turns the heat up. Never seen a City player slowing the game down with fake injuries or trying to unsettle the opposition when their nostrils are flared

I don't think we'd have this issue if we had a bit of experience on the coaching staff.

I agree with more experienced staff they could adjust tatics and maybe sort out some of the late goals wr seem to concede as well. Maybe training tactics and concentration levels improve with right staff

My Opinion

A management team out of their depths and an owner who knows zero about football.
