I'm heartily sick to the back teeth of our lily livered cowardly approach, hopeless team selection and tactics.

We had some drubbings over the years and fans have come on this board and said they were proud of the players and rightly so ,this lot should walk home ,no effort,no pride,not fit to wear the shirt.

Should have been a very easy save imo, was clear and obvious it was going in that bottom corner, but for some unknown reason Trafford caught wrong footed and beaten again, when the hell is kompany going to see some sense.

I wouldn't assume it's anything to do with resale value.
Amdouni scores at international level. We are just not good enough to set up real chances for a player like him on anything like a regular basis.
A few goals against Israel, Moldova, Andorra and whoever else is in their Euros qualifying group isn't much to write home about.

He's just nowhere near what you need from a forward in the PL. Horrific signing for the price.

Thought he was one of the best tonight but you can't defend a player who turns his back to a shot.
It's weird with O'Shea; he's always busy, but often his central defensive partner has a sh!tter.

I like Amdouni, but that was woeful, Odobert had a tap in and he didn’t put it on target. But with his skillset if he made correct choices he would be top class and playing for a top 4 club.

City are so good though, near full strength, and they are clearly in the afterburners stage of the season. One positive - we don’t have to play them again (until next season :lol: )

He will be playing for a team like Trabzonspor or something in a year or two.

An odd touch and flick here and there is nowhere near enough for a top 4 club, at all.

It’s like people don’t watch premier league football.

We are playing a top four team. In what world does Amdouni even get close to there bench?

I personally think he will be of to Ligue 1

This talk of lack of effort - we were good and pressing till goal 1 then bang, bang 2-0. After that it becomes about Fulham who have 24 hours more rest and not burning ourselves out. Very clever and also the subs being early. Can’t slag them off for that (ignoring that some Rovers fans on here would slate them even after a 6-0 win).

Dyche also got a draw there and beat them at home with a smaller budget and weaker team.
Maidstone went and won at Ipswich how many levels between them?
We're in the same league as City we should be putting some effort in at least but City are walking around the pitch it's pathetic
