The first four months of last season was where I want City to be, great football and entertaining, winning efforts. But for close on twelve months now, we have been poor. Stagnating at best, but I fear we're regressing.
And that is why it has to be....Bob Out!
Piccsnumberoneblue wrote:We are slow, with no width and pace. We are taking extra passes, playing at walking pace and don't get behind teams. Our width is not created by wingers it is meant to come from the likes of Kolarov or Zabba. It results in us looking unlikely to score. Yesterday was a prime example, it was obvious that we would struggle, because Scouse II are tough to break down and we aren't very good at it. That's how it mapped out and nobody was surprised. So for all those stats in reality we often look turgid without imagination.

At what point do you think Bob should go? If we are out of contention for the league? If we are out of contention for the League and out of the Fa Cup? Or never, Bob has earned the right to never be criticised? I believe that his negativity, his natural over caution stops us progressing, stops us being what we really should be. I think he holds us back and that we won the title despite Mancini's style rather than because of it.
And kinkyola, I think you are a sad sack for saying that, just because I don't agree with you. So up yer pipe.

I have massive respect for Ted's point of view, (and John 68's even though we are polar opposites in our view of Mancini) and I fully echo his posts where he suggests that the fun has been taken out of our game.
If you knew the trouble I'd had over the years over my pull towards watching City when family and friends have wanted me elsewhere, and now I'm not particularly arsed about getting to the game. These are times I should be loving, revelling in, the days we dreamed of, after all, we've put up with utter shit and still come back for more, this should be the pay off. But bob is grinding the last drops of entertainment out of this with a functional, 'lets not lose' approach.

If I thought it was part of a plan, I'd be more comfortable tbh, because it would mean that all we need is a change of plan.

I quite enjoyed it when we we won the FA Cup.
I was more than happy to see us win the Community Shield.
I was fuclin delirious when we became Champions.
....and I was overjoyed as the 6th goal went in at the swamp.
As shit and defensive as we may be, a win on Sunday against the rags will put us back on top of the League on GD. I for one, am happy about that.
We may be shit Mate...but at the moment, we are the BEST SHIT in the League.
