" Riza: Disappointed and we went out to win the game "

OMER RIZA:


“I’m disappointed. Disappointed for the fans, disappointed for the Club that we weren’t able to get what we needed, which was three points. We tried to go for it as much as we could, but we didn’t create enough clear-cut moments.

The biggest chance fell to Isaak [Davies], and it could’ve gone in the back of the net and then we’re ahead with Stoke chasing. We have to deal better with first and second balls into the box. Although it’s a clear handball by Ashley Phillips, we have to deal with it better. It’s very disappointing, and we have four massive games to go, like they have been over the last ten games.

It was always going to be a cagey game, and there were moments in the first half where we couldn’t apply the press the way we wanted to because they manipulated the ball well. We didn’t create enough when we had the ball, and that was disappointing.

In the second half we went out to try and win the game. We went with as many attacking options as we could, but moments in games are key, and we’ve lost because of a basic moment that we have to deal with.

We’ve still got four games to play and twelve points to play for, albeit they are tough games. But if you’re going to get promoted you’ve got to win games, and it’s the same if you want to stay up. If we’re going to do it, we have to do it, it’s as simple as that. If we don’t, then the writing will be on the wall.

We haven’t done enough today, but Sheffield United have lost their last three games and need to win, so we have to go there and try and win, and we will go there with belief.”

Bored of hearing the same old shit

It's bordering on corporate negligence now. Just shut up!

We’ve been nice enough Riza but can you please f**k off now I don’t know what control you have over the board but please walk away , let a new manager build for League one , you have fkd us . What will it take for you to just be gone. f**k off we don’t want you here . What were those substitutions what an absolute car crash you c**t.

I guess he’s not going anywhere. Not looking forward to the remaining games.

This is like Steve Kean at Blackburn years ago with the Venky's.

Appoint a puppet regardless of credentials and not sack regardless of continual poor results.

Negligence is definitely the phrase here.

I thought his starting line up was right, maybe Bagan at left back ahead of O'Dowda who simply isn't a left back.

No idea how Robertson lasted the full game, he was awful and should've been off at half time for Colwill or Turnbull.

No intensity in our game, didn't press them at all. Deserved to lose and could have been more. Only real chance we created was Colwill crossing for Davies who should score, apart from that we offered nothing.

I am disappointed of hearing the same old shite out of your inept mouth.

Players are not playing for him.. bloke is an idiot.

Shambles... 125th anniversary.. great job

Same old he spews cannot listen to him anymore his teams setup his totally wrong his tactics totally wrong we playing at home against a team at the bottom with us like Luton were every time we play a six pointer we bottles it and ends up losing he will be here to end of the season by looks why they've even bothered letting hold a press conference shows they keeping him on welcome league one we will not win another match this season

Can’t believe what he said there - ‘in the second half we went out to try and win the game’. What does that mean? - they weren’t trying to win the match in the first half? That’s a mind- boggling statement!!

f**k off Tinker man

So today, Riza took off two strikers in Robinson and Salech, who whilst not having great games, are the sort of people you want on the end of chances when in a relegation battle. At one point, a long ball forward was headed down by Darland to NG, who were both operating in the striker positions.

And as for the manager and Yak going straight down the tunnel …

Bagan should be left back some of the crosses he put in to Salech when both in same team few weeks back were fantastic. Don’t get why he’s dropped.

We got two strikers who have scored goals. But today Salech had crap service and Robinson was played in midfield.

We need to get balls from the wing into the box for Salech and have Robinson off the shoulder of defenders or linking up with Salech with a give and go etc

Groundhog day again and again.
Gutless players no passion no desire to win a game .if I was a city player a d that poor fan was taken to hospital and I hope they are OK.
I'd running my arse off for that fan and I'd be trying to win to dedicate the game to the poor person .What more motivation did they need for God sake .Poor performance are the players saving themselves from injury or something so they can move on if we are relegated.
So many bad performances again today 3 shots on target is shit .
Buck stops with the manager

Totally agree

We make the same mistakes every single week.

There is never any urgency or intensity.

We never press or pressure the opposition

We always struggle against other teams press.

We consistently screw up corners. It’s a mess.

That’s before we look at how he picks the wrong team and set up basically every game. Then makes stupid or late tactical changes in game.

We have thrown away so many points from winning positions.

Yes
The players need to show more fight. But to a man they were on their backs at the end today and looked pretty upset.

Riza has had almost an entire season and not one week has shown ANY improvement to the teams approach or his ability to grow as a manager.

The repeated mistakes and style of play point to coaching more than anything to me. Defending starts from the top and is an organised cohesive structure.

We don’t do it.
Attacking is a team approach where players know where to target. Where to run. Where to support.

We don’t do it.

Fed up of hearing this pleb saying the same thing all the time f**k off
