Riza Substitutions

What is this moron thinking? Take your leading goalscorer and centre forward off when we need goals , utter prick.

Both did f**k all today. You cant blame the reason to change.

Tactics, motiviation, game plans.... absolutely. But both were absent today.

Taking off Chambers was equally as baffling. It left a huge gap in midfield and Stoke exploited it easily, such a naive substitution to make especially as Robertson was tiring.
Riza seems to make subs with a hope they will impact the game but with no real thought behind it. He just does not think tacticallu he is an appalling manager.

Its not subbing Robinson that was the problem. He should never have started!
Fighting relegation ans playing someone who doesn’t battle at all. On top of that we gave him a 2 year contract.
Who else in the Cjamooionsip would give a 30 yr old Robinson such a contrat. Daft.
Having said that somw of Rizas suns just don’t make sense. Sometimes He just seems to change things for change sake.
They seem like PANICK changes. Salech was quiet today but he is an attacking threat. Does bringing Meite on for him strengthen our team????

No striker could have scored in the area we never cross the ball just fanny about with it backwards Nd sideways .

But he subbed like for like hoping that would change things, not the way we were playing no service again mind you he didn't look fit! Robinson should have been subbed as had cramp but riza chose to leave him on...poor use of subs as blighted city all season

Robertson was out on his feet and he should have gone off not Chambers but he’s the only one who can take a free kick/corner so probably had to stay on

That sums us up as a club!!

The subs made no sense but we played 442 with players who are not used to playing it.

Alves was on the wrong wing but was playing inverted, so according to modern standards (4231) he was on the correct wing, but he couldn't cross the ball.
Ashord isn't a winger in the 442, O'Dowda is but he was left back, the left back has been used as a centre half but he was on the bench.
Chambers isn't disciplined enough and chased the ball and was out of position a lot in the first half offering no cover
Robertson just looked lost, i doubt he has ever played an 8 in a professional game in a 442
Robinson is too slow and lazy for the second striker role.
The full backs looked reluctant to overlap.

Other than that it was fine.

I am in no way a Riza supporter - he has been an unmitigated disaster for our club and I am absolutely certain that Tan only appointed him full time to spite the fanbase following the open letter asking why the club was taking so long to appoint a manager.

However....

I'm not sure how Riza can be blamed for Isaak Davies' incredible miss today.

Let's be honest here - that was absolutely shocking. A goal at that stage could have made the difference between winning and what happened.

Yet another example of a Cardiff player being nowhere near as good as some seem to think they are.

Sums up our season with one useless kick of the ball.

I disagree about Isaac Davies’s miss - yes it looked really bad, but after some good work by Colwill, his cross to Davies was way too hard and knee high. Therefore, it was extremely difficult for Davies to make good contact.
