3-0 yes but we were crap.

[london blue 2]

Noones questioning that...what we are having a go at is the twats that have to rub in the fact we were not playing well DESPITE the fact we won 3-0

It's always glass half empty with these cunts

Mate, from what i've read on here you seem to be the only one that's acting like a cunt.

[Im_Spartacus]

Pretty much every single report I've read at lunch and the radio from the drive home last night said we were awful for 65 minutes and Tevez saved the game single handedly. Most of the South Stand were getting pretty pissed off with our midfield and booing was starting about 50mins in. Surely the entire world and where I stand can't be wrong and we actually did play good football last night?

But if it is a fact, why should they not comment on it.

They are hardly making it up are they, so why the abuse? We were fucking awful, and have been in pretty much every game I have been to under Mancini regardless of the result.

Fucking awful seems a tad OTT to me.Maybe we were boring and have been for the majority of games that Roberto has been in charge.However our position in the table and the results we have achieved so far says to me that we have been quite effective.The fact that it boring to watch and in some aspects a bit lacking it is nontheless effective and a style that we are gonna have to get accustomed to if we expect success.Boring,defensive,cagey football is gonna be the price of success with the way this team is made up.

That's EXACTLY what I've been quietly thinking to myself for a good while now. Now I wouldn't mind Jose in charge but I'm results first and foremost man myself. How someone who doesn't feel entertained is asking for Mourinho to be appointed is beyond me.

The performances have been dreadful mate. This is all some of the guys on the thread have said, nobody is arguing about the results - although on the occasions we have lost or drawn, it is because we have put in the same poor performance and application that we saw last night, but come up against a more organised team who wanted it more. We didnt get away with it against, Hull, Stoke, Everton twice, Sunderland etc, when our performances were little different to last night's.

Its nothing to do with winning 7-0 and playing samba football, but more to do with the fact that for large parts of the game, the team were totally disorganised, many of the players picked were badly out of form, and that showed when the ball was invariably either passed into touch or a wigan player. Any better side would have taken advantage last night, as we saw with Everton last week

Given that we are now only left to play the better sides in the league, this is the cause for concern.

Given our record against the Top teams I beg to differ

The games you mention that we lost and didnt get away with it indicate to me the level we are at and where the team is that we have. Results where we have been beaten are not to exceptional and are not to freekish that they are totally unexpected.We can only play what is front of us and for the majority of games we have excelled in what I was expecting.I am really quite happy with the way things are going and have no concerns about who is coming up as I think we are well capable of matching or excelling what is put in front of us.

[colonel_muck]

there are a lot of fans who are 'results' people. we got the win, job done. i understand that. but there are also a lot of people who like football to be played the right way, why don't the results people seem to understand that? the purpose of any game is enjoyment.

[Beeks]

THAT'S THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE GAME!?!?!?!

[bernabias_right_boot]

When I look back at how poor we have been at times since the match against Boro when Fowler missed a penalty that would have put us into Europe, I feel like we're on a much higher level now.

I've never seen players like CT in a blue shirt before this season. I had to suffer Mark Lillis, Robert Hopkins, and the legendary tactics of Jimmy Frizzell in the past and was just grateful I had a ticket!

fact - we have only lost five league games all season.
fact - we have only lost once at home all season in all competitions.

True, there are times, including last night, when I think we'll never be good enough to earn that fourth place, and yes, I'd love to hammer every side we play 7-0.
The thing is, we're a work in progress. It's not pretty at times and I'd love to see more shots attempted (we seem to want to walk the ball into the net at times) , but it's progress that we're witnessing.

Keep on supporting the side.

you are clearly a results person then. that's fine. some people like the team they're watching to play well, or at least look like they're trying to play well. is that so unreasonable

I am in a different camp. I don't mind if we win the league playing shit football winning every game 1-0. No problem with that.

I just don't see the football we are playing getting us the results that will keep me happy over the course of the next few weeks.

if we win the league by winning 1-0 every game come to me at the end of the season and i'll be ecstatic, but i'll still be saying the same thing the day after every game when i have to travel across the city to be bored out of my mind. am i happy with where we are in the table? overjoyed. am i happy with sitting through that match last night bar 12 glorious minutes? not really.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Arsenal havent won diddly squat for 5 years but they continue to fill out their stadium because they play arguably the most attractive football in the world.

If we continue to play boring football and get the 1 - 0 wins (that some fans dont mind) eventually there will be poor attendencies.

I would rather play like Arsenal to be honest who at least are always in the mix for a cup or prem title than a boring shite unentertaining team that grinds out 1 - nils.

[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

We've never won 1-0 in the league under Mancini (Boro in the cup, sure).
