Tielemans63 Posted 23 September 2023 Share Posted 23 September 2023 Surprised we haven't gone from distance a little more often. When the opposition are that deep, trying to play crosses into the box with pretty much just Vardy and 4 Briz defenders in there is playing into their hands a bit.

Bezzanator89 Posted 23 September 2023 Share Posted 23 September 2023 Decision making in the final third has not been good enough, we should be winning this by a goal or two. Ndidi and KDH need to be shown where the goal is, and actually make the right decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisWalken456 Posted 23 September 2023 Share Posted 23 September 2023 Both teams defending excellently. Our attacking decisions can be quite frustrating but if the game opens up 2nd half then I'm sure we'll create more chances and hopefully nick one or two. The home games are going to be harder than the aways this season, unless we get some early goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're sitting in, the game plan was just don't get beat, as it will be for the majority of sides that come here this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 23 September 2023 Share Posted 23 September 2023 This is the deepest block we’ve seen all season. Frequently all 11 Bristol City players are in their own third. Very much attack versus defence. They’ve come for 0-0! Decision making in the final third has been poor but Bristol are getting tired. We look sharper than against Hull in my opinion. This has late winners written all over it. I hope so anyway. Fatawu looks exciting, Mavididi getting the ball a lot too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Maddison replacement for the Championship? I think what we have is fine for this formation. Can worry about needing that level of creativity when we are back in the Premier League. We aren't replacing him in any form at this level. We could go for someone like Chair but I think Maresca wants the ball won back high by this attacking players too. Which Ndidi and KDH do very well. Better than Maddison did too ironically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SecretPro Posted 23 September 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 23 September 2023 A lot of overreaction in this thread. We've been very good. Patiently sticking to the game plan. The passing and movement had been exceptional - except in the final third and this mainly down to KDH and some poor decision making. Other than the random scramble at the end of the half Bristol City have offered nothing to have me worried in any way. Sorry folks but you need to get used to this. Nearly every team in the league is going to sit with a low block against us. We have to he patiently and stick to our game, we have the quality to find that one moment that will get us the three points. Don't be like my dad "lump it forward". Man City don't revert to shitball when teams play a low block, sure they have the quality to stick to their plan and find a way but in this division, so do we. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourbon Fox Posted 23 September 2023 Share Posted 23 September 2023 Bristol are organised and solid in defence. Many times they'll have 2 or 3 pressing the ball, with very little between the lines. That bank of 5 when defending has restricted them to very few opportunities. It's our final ball that's cost us a couple of chances - we are still wasteful which is fine when you're generating 20+ shots but not when it's tight. We've looked quick on the break and that's likely where a goal will come from, but that relies on smart decisions from Mavididi and Fatawu...

jayfox26 Posted 23 September 2023 Share Posted 23 September 2023 I'm really enjoying watching us this season but many home games are going to be frustrating like today. We know most teams are going to camp 11 men behind the ball and that's exactly what happened against Hull and same today. One mistake by us can then cost us like it did against Hull and nearly did at the end of the half then. We just need to be more clinical in the final 3rd. The final pass/decision making is often poor but I understand how tough it is when at times, there were literally 11 BC players in their own box. We need a goal to bring them out a bit and open up some space. The longer it stays 0-0 the more I worry it goes the same well as Hull. Not being negative though, we are totally dominant and play some lovely stuff and once we get more clinical, we will dish up some serious wallops this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty James sprinting back to keep up with Mavididi sums up their performance. A very solid display from them so far. We miss a classic number 10 who could help unlock teams like this.
