It was driving me up the wall with about ten minutes left when we were fucking about with it in the middle and playing it back to the defence at every opportunity.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19168231.find-answers---mowbrays-verdict-bristol-city-stalemate/ Ahhh, it all makes sense now. We don't have enough 'individuality' around the opposition box (Elliot, Armstrong, Dolan, I can see the point...) Tony says if you break Arma's goals down, most of them are on the transition. So nothing to do with the fact we try to control the ball for long spells in the middle of the pitch and don't actually play on the transition, then. "Sam isn’t someone who historically hasn’t scored goals from crosses," assuming that isn't a misquote or him misspeaking, that's a double negative so he is saying Sam historically is able to score goals from crosses. Slap him out wide then eh?

I don't see your point. That sounds like all the more reason to sign him and play him on the wing?

The USA isn't in Teeside.

A what now? Do you mean false 9? Right-back? Never heard of this centre forward bollocks.

But...but...the numbers are good! Possession, focus on that. Not the 1 win in 11, or 6 points from 33. Possession is king. If we have any more 'possession', we'll need a fucking exorcist.

They will step up. And then trip over the ball.

Afraid it isn't. After next season I believe. Edit: confirmed https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46405156

Mars is a lot better at football than we are, tbf. (See, I'm at it again) Edit: and to be clear, I mean that whether it's Mars the planet, Mars the Roman God of War, or Mars bars.

The remark last week, I forget what specifically it was about, but where he said something like 'those who are less knowledgeable about the game will say that' ...was really patronising, and arrogant. Tony knows a lot less about the game than Tony thinks Tony knows, or we wouldn't be where we are.

It will be another opportunity squandered. In that regard, Venkys and our shooting have a lot in common.

I know, but I'm pedantic and will take any opportunity for a cheap joke. Obviously.

Would it matter what colour the drone was?

It made you laugh, but it gave me a brain tumour.

1 win, 3 draws, 7 defeats. The next game likely to make that 8 defeats. Anybody else at any other club would be out on their arse. TM to get a contract extension.

Commentator: Hopefully it will be better on Saturday. Yes. I'm sure that away to the best side in the league will go better for us.

Yep that's precisely what we do. There's just no incisive movement, barely any movement at all, in that last third. And it has been obvious for the whole season, the promising start aside. There has been a blueprint for beating us since what, November? Every team has it. And Tony has done fuck all to adjust.

12 shots. ONE on target. Pathetic. From 73 percent possession no less. And I can't even remember that one on target.

When will Tony learn that we do worse when we control possession? Probably never.

He played fairly well overall in the last 3 games in CM. So I know, now he is finally settling in his actual position, LETS SHOVE HIM IN A POSITION HE ISNT SUITED FOR! Mowbray 101. Absolutely fucking had it with him.

Oh jesus christ, where is he playing Buckley? Looks like one of the front 3. I just cant be doing with this anymore

Worryingly, the more reassuring answer would be that he just couldn't be arsed...

Did they record a finger banging? Asking for a friend...

Commentator just said it would have been criminal if we conceded because of Kaminski's blunder just then, in 'a game like this', ie one where we have controlled most of the possession. No mate, it would just be like every other week.

In normal times I'd suggest a divorce. But she may have a point.
