CFC888 219 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 - Is it actually possible to award MotM to anyone? Don't think anyone can say they were consistently good and/or didn't fuck things up.- I love the bloke, but by all accounts it sounds like Didier was fucking useless today.- In terms of the implications of this loss, I don't really give a fuck that we are out. If we win on Tuesday and Saturday then I'll be happy. The good news is we now have less games to worry about; no excuses for not winning EPL and/or CL now! - It's not good that Oscar and Cahill played 90 and Willian, Hazard and Fabregas were all subbed on! - I think this result shows up our lack of depth. - It's gonna hurt if Arsenal or Liverpool go on to win this competition, I will be firmly behind the minnows now! - I'm a bit concerned by one recurring theme in all of our losses this season, that being a rapid disintegration when pressured. We saw it at Newcastle with Cisse's burst, a quick run from Tottenham and conceding 4 in a row today.- The goal before HT is not so bad, but the fact that when Bradford came at us hard after the break, we couldn't wrestle back momentum and ended up conceding 3 thereafter...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I think a result such as this has been coming for a while, and, If anything, it will shake us up.. but an even more positive thing about this loss, is that now we have enough time to focus on other important competitions, such as the League and Champions League.The team shouldn't need such shake ups like this. Last season we went trophyless, a phenomenon we're not so used to after the succession of silver for the last decade or so we've come to enjoy. Not to mention half this team aren't even title winners and should be hungry as anything for it.To be 2-0 up and then concede 4 goals to a club who are two leagues lower than us is simply unacceptable. The team put out today was more than capable of holding a 2-0 or even 2-1 lead without inflicting any serious problems.Not good enough. After making Liverpool look like Real Madrid last week, something's got to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 can't believe some people find this funnyI think a lot of them are still feeling delirious with City and Spurs also getting knocked out at home in similar fashion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/30966195My God that was shocking. Diabolical team defending. for 3 of those goals we had about 8 players in the box with no one man marking and closing down shooting angles. Just very one panicking and running around cluelessly in the box.By the look of things we sat back defended deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Nothing to do with youth or rotation. Just pathetic tactics, a pathetic performance and a pathetic result. No excuse. We have some quality that papers over the cracks but some of the tactics Mou has applied, the motivation, the attitude of some players just are flawed.

The Chels 2,502 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 At least win the bloody COC now.Forget it, just like the Spurs game and win the following two home games. By the way, City's defense was surely not better than ours today, and I did not see the Chelsea game.Middlesbrough are a good side and will likely be in the Prem next season. City had a lot of clear-cut chances and were unlucky not to score. We conceded 4 goals to a Ligue 1 side after going 2-0 up at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season we went trophyless, a phenomenon we're not so used to after the succession of silver for the last decade or so we've come to enjoy. Not to mention half this team aren't even title winners and should be hungry as anything for it.You'd think exactly that after watching us at the beginning of this season. Nobody could touch us.. we were getting results that were making pundits and critics alike thinking we'd run away with every trophy imaginable. What with Fabregas and Costa pulling the strings...This result brings us back down to reality. You can't just go an entire season thinking you can win everything and get away with periods/weather changes/mind games that are going to change the season around. That's what football does.What I do agree with, is that changes need to be made.. do we go back to playing defensively and looking like a boring side? Or do we continue to look like an attacking force, that have every right to feel concerned about the opposition hitting us on the break with hardly any people back?
