We were dreadful in first 20 mins and defence wide open, awful

Morrison and Flint is without a doubt mind blowingly stupid.

Would anyone (except any jacks on here) have chosen that team and defence, I'd be surprised if they would have. Conman sense says it wouldn't work.

It's no doubt to counter all the high aerial balls Leeds will be launching from 50 yards out to their two 6'2" strikers.

Ahhh the 50yd balls on the ground that undone us? He's simply made a balls up by changing defence against Leeds why not do it against a lesser team but even then do not understand rationale for such changes

The performance concerns are still valid though surely?

30% possession and 3 shots on target. It’s very unlikely that you will get many points with that kind of performance. Today all shots on target found the back of the net. It would be unrealistic to think that is the norm.

A very solid point but it shouldn’t negate the concerns many had watching the game 30 mins ago.

Possession never won any game forest should have taught you that! Yes we were awful but a sighn of any team is character and cannot deny we've got that by bucket load. Did we deserve draw yes just on never stopped trying and scoring 3 goals away to top team in the league who hadn't conceded a goal in 7hrs

Possession alone doesn’t win games, but it helps. Which is why every team that wins the top leagues almost always dominates possession.

Trying or not giving up doesn’t mean you deserve points. You have to play well to get any kind of consistent return in this league, or any league saying that. Good point in isolation but to pretend the concerns of those saying how awful the performance was is not now invalid due to 2 shots. Be happy with the point and move on. Ignoring weaknesses however will kill you.

That’s a match in isolation though.

Play that exact scenario 100 times and they would win far more often than not. So you have to play the percentages, whatever gives you most chance of winning. Beating a team that has 32 shots against you doesn’t mean that it proves shots aren’t important and a vital stat in success. It means on that particular day, an unlikely event happened and they didn’t transfer the shots into goals.

There is a reason that if you look at the league winners of all the top leagues in Europe over the last 20 years you can probably count on one hand, maybe even a finger, how many of those sides averaged less possession or shots.

Its not in isolation was an example, forest had 3 shots on target! The point is it doesn't matter how much possession or shots you have its shots on target that go in that counts ... huddersfield went up with a minus goal difference explain that? City went up with probably lowest possession stats in championship but spent more time in opposition last 3rd than anyone else and shots on target, football is not about pretty football with 70+% possession its about goals scored always have been.... we had 3 shots on target 3 goals it's that simple :thumbup:

He wont get much more time
He was at fault for the penalty today and arguably the second goal he should have come out and challenged the striker who had time to bring the ball down 5 yards out control it and finish without Etheridge coming off his line.

He surely must be on thin ice

Re: Embarrassing

Sat Dec 14, 2019 7:24 pm

A lot depends on where the possession is....if you have loads of ball but it’s in your own half then it doesn’t really matter ???
Today city played awful for 50 mins ...conceded 3 goals ...had a player sent off and still got a point.
Looks to me Harris is giving most of the squad a chance to show what they can do I.e Morrison/ Vaulks starting today.
Reckon there will be a few goodbyes in January.
Personally , I think Morrison or Flint could go out on loan with Nelson and maybe Bamba our first choice pairing .
Flint has never looked worth the money imo ...

Sir Neil used to say games were won and lost in penalty areas. And he's right. Possession alone counts for nothing. We are not yet proving ourselves good enough in our own penalty area and invite way too much pressure onto ourselves. Flint and Morrison will never ever ever be a successful championship partnership.
