Reading – Post Match

[tiktu]

Lucas, Reina and Torres at least tried to make something happen, rest were equally bad. Maybe Mel Gibson should come and motivate these lads, teach some crossing with passion.

[el matador]

Lucas and Gerrard were not good but then they had no options and no movement ahead of them

er sorry that should read torres and gerrard. Lucas is classed in the utter ****e side of the team.

[Nicey]

3 games unbeaten

Love the spin and the optimism, but is this what we've become?

its the ****ing fa cup strange things happen we are still in it and will most likely beat them at our football ground for ****s sake .. smiley

People always argue that changing a manager mid-season is a disastrous thing to do, but I can't help wondering if, freed from his over-complicated, over-cautious, over-controlling mass of instructions, our players will feel liberated, will no longer be afraid to express themselves and will let their own strengths come to the fore. The Houllieresque gutlessness, lack of flair and downright stifling of talent is driving me absolutely insane.

I think that the problem is that we aren't playing creative players, we aren't stifling talent we just don't have enough talented attacking players on the pitch. In Midfield we had Gerrard who was really the only attacking or creative player. Lucas was the holding player, Kuyt's game on the right has suffered more than most in the absence of Alonso and I don't think he suits the system we now play, and Aurelio is a full back playing on the left. This is a very defensive lineup for a game against lower league opposition

And what exactly is the point of having Ryan Babel sat on the bench? £11m winger/forward sat twiddling his thumbs while we continue to play 2 left backs. No pace on either wing at all, game after game after game. The ball either gets passed sideways, backwards or hoofed up to the opposition goalkeeper. ****ing ridiculous.

He had a good ****ing game .. did you watch it ?

he did well when you compare it to the lucas scale of relativity. But with lucas it is all relative to the **** that he has dished out before.

To be fair to him you cant judge him by any other standard. So yes he did well and was probably our best player.

Lucas was our best player on the park today .. Stevie was gash, Torres its hard to judge considering he got onto the ball 6 times in total

[vlahka]

City with new manager win 2-0, win 3-0, win 1-0. Changing managers was disastrous for them.

calm down

of course the FA Cup throws up strange results, but our performance was piss poor and its not exactly uncommon nowadays is it? 3 games unbeaten, one flukey win against Villa in injury time, a win against Wolves and a draw against a Champsionship side....losing 4 games ago convincingly against the poorest side in the EPL.

How ****ing long is this **** streak going to continue before we say enough is enough?

[UncleBob]

Fabio Aurelio looked like a crippled lego man out for a wobbly jig.
What a shocking absence of quality. We simply cant look after the ball.

Yeah because we have Citys money right ... But yeah hes been in the Job a week .. **** me its looking good we should do it too ...

I said he played well and was our best player today.

No buts.

[scully]

All of them

<Nicey spin-doctoring>Well yes, each of them was indeed one word, so therefore you were brilliantly correct and there is nothing to worry about.</Nicey spin-doctoring>
