Match Thread Coventry City vs Hull City (H) - Match Thread - Sat 29th August (3pm KO) (1 Viewer)

Is it really as difficult as I think to imagine us overturning that 6 point advantage that Hull have over us?…

Will be our highest possession all season and we lost.

Just saying I don't think we were as bad as people are making out. We got sucker punched by a counter, don't get me wrong a good one but really we should win that comfortably. We do need players to settle and I think the substitutions today were very very odd.
 
What really fucking annoys me, is the 2 weeks leading up to Arsenal, in numerous interviews Lampard spoke about the importance of the turn over and the speed in which it happens in the PL compared to the Championship. Mustve seen 4 or 5 different interviews where he talked of it and how important both attacking and defensive turn overs were. Yet here we are, turning over the ball, winning it high up, then slowing it down and looking for the safe, backwards pass! Not one player looks brave enough to take their man on, nobody looks brave enough to try the forward pass. We look slow, disjointed, negative, low on confidence. 433 really isnt helping us AT ALL. So many lose passes and poor touches. Things that 4 months ago you'd rarely see!

The loss wasn't his fault but the fact remains that he isn't good enough and we will get nowhere playing him on the left wing

OK but why single him out for criticism?
And it not his fault if he's playing in a position he's not suited to

Dasilva with the only solid performance.. again.
MVE exposed.. again.

Saka getting pelters, yes he lost the ball but fuckme, not one defender on the transition? That’s suicidal at 0-0. It wasn’t like we didn’t have a breakaway warning before the goal.

If you’re not playing particularly well, at least grind out a point.

Where was mve??
 
Bought a membership because I thought I'd struggle to get in to any games without it this season. Another few weeks playing like that and the fucker will be half full.
Better be a bloody good free t-shirt, King.

EMC and JDS really the only 2 today that come away with any credit imo. Everyone else a 4 or less.

We just looked a bit half cooked. Never looked like breaking them down consistently.

No idea why we didn’t have Milan covering for the goal though, didn’t heed the warning just before that.

Regardless of the performance the result is a killer.

Because Milan is awful positionally. He drifted out of position about 4 times

It’s down to Lampard Subs - useless -

It wasn't necessarily the subs but the wrong subs Awoniya was blowing out his arse. Stayed on, he didn't need to put BTA on, he could have switched Tchaouna to the left wing where I think he's had his best half in the second half against Espanyol there. Torp did well against Arsenal when he came on and against Plymouth, but seemed to be asked to play a lot higher. We didn't get him or Hamer on the ball enough, because we were so slow on the ball.

I'm generally worried about some of our players attacking ability when space opens up for them in the middle they stop check and look to play it to the wing for some unknown reason

Hull seem to know how to play to their strength , and thats going to win them points

Our style of play , with grimes dropping in as a false centre half 🙄 will be damaging to us as teams will love the fact weve decided to take a man out of midfield to pass it wide

We need to wise up , tchaouna gets stick but he is power , pace and saka was like a schoolboy when he lost the dual im midfield , we cant afford it

I guess you forgot the real clanger tchaouna made that nearly cost us?

I cannot believe I'm having to clarify this, but: Criticising a player is not the same thing as saying the loss was exclusively their fault

Win comfortably on 1.27xG, seems unlikely

It’s a colossal waste of allocating resources correctly when you have BTA playing left wing

He was never good enough to play there in the fucking championship.

Has everybody in the building collectively lost their fucking minds over the summer.

Emc is gonna be our beast at left winger but you absolutely cannot bring on bta to replace him. I dunno what the answer is because we have the same with jds. If he gets injured who the fuck plays lb

Yeah 2 of the arsenal goals and IIRC the Plymouth goals were all scored on transition too.

Anyway, 3 days to make a handful of big signings. That must be pretty clear to the owner now.

Can’t see us signing anyone I think Franks done the budget, we have to hope the signing come good , and I don’t think man city aways going to improve everyone’s mood.

We wouldn't have scored all day with the way we setup.

Zero threat at all. We didn't even have shots when we got in good positions.
