Nunez looks like a low level member of a cartel

Shocked to find he's only 24, looks like he's in his 50s

Ask Frank

Based on some posters views recently they need to talk to frank

 

[Captain Dart]

BTA and Norm are pressing well but have been awful when they get the ball, neither are capable of holding the ball up

Not heard BTA mentioned on CWR commentary. Has he been effective?

 

[Nick]

Need to kick their 7 more

 

[CCFCSteve]

I suspect Lampard wants him gone. He is poor in so many aspects of his game. We need better.

I still think there’s a player there but agree that I’m not sure Lampard does. I know who I’d rather play against out of simms and BTA

Not really just runs around a lot.

No

 

[larry_david]

Sainz is a tosser ain't he

 

[Cally Fedora]

So now we’ve established it’s 2 up top, why on earth is BTA playing ahead of Simms?

Work rate. Simple as that

Definitely kid on a bike runner.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Why is there a massive hole at the edge of the pitch?

 

[ccfc922]

Sainz is a tosser ain't he

Surely hand gesture is a yellow?

 

[fatso]

How the fuck is Sainz not booked for that?

 

[rob9872]

it’s hard cos we don’t have some of the sounds like the W and IJ sounds but the following is a direct quote from a native Dutch speaker:

Ay-Vaik

(“This is wrong because you don’t have an equivalent sound for the “ai” sound”)

They asked him at the fans forum how to pronounce it and yours isn't far off. I was more surprised at the 'Van' which he pronounced as 'Von'

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Massively underrated and disrespected on here.
Though not among the 'normal' support if the reaction to his inclusion today is anything to go by.

Things tick better with Allen on

 

[Tommo1993]

Simms is certainly good enough to replace either for the second half.

 

[Nick]

Decent half

 

[mmttww]

Why is there a massive hole at the edge of the pitch?

 

[Evo1883]

A very respectable half of football by city , fantastic counter for the goal

 

[wingy]

Norwich - and in particular Sainz - seem frustrated. They still look pretty dangerous though.

Yeah lati's acting like he's got him in his pocket, full time please for that stuff!

 

[covcity4life]

Good first half. Formation looks solid and players doing well

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah Dutch a is sort of half way. The vowel sounds are weird and hard at first for an English speaker IMO. I’d accept (Ay-Vak) from the comms at least. Just not You-Wick or whatever.

 

[Captain Dart]

Lol, Norwich fans booing as half finished. Good sign that.

 

[Jamesimus]

Sainz is a tosser ain't he

You’d have thought he’d have wiped that gravy from his Xmas dinner off his chin by now.

 

[TomRad85]

This feels too easy. No way the second half is that straight forward.

 

[Frostie]

So now we’ve established it’s 2 up top, why on earth is BTA playing ahead of Simms?

Bassette offers less than BTA imo.

 

[mmttww]

I'll say it now... Kitching makes a difference.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Sloppy on the ball but happy enough with that. Still think these players have got so much more than we’ve seen this season

edit - just seen 59% passing accuracy. Got to be better

 

[Alkhen]

Not heard BTA mentioned on CWR commentary. Has he been effective?

Not at all on the ball but he does hassle the defence when they have the ball. You can see the press was the game plan today.

Simms ain't doing that but the few times one of our strikers have got the ball they lost it tamely where you'd fancy Simms to have shielded it and played a runner in

 

[Jamesimus]

So far a bit of a grindy away performance from us with one great bit of play that resulted in a goal.

We have been good since the goal and allowing Norwich to foul us and manage the game generally well.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I thought they looked slick and a lot better than us until we scored the goal. That seemed to knock the stuffing out of them and since they've been whinging, whilst we've grown in confidence.

Will take that at half time certainty!

 

[CCFCSteve]

I'll say it now... Kitching makes a difference.

He’s an organiser and leader. If he could settle down some of the other stuff there’s good CB there

 

[Sick Boy]

Best away half of the season so far.

They seem to have a bit of a mentality issue within their team as well imo.

More to the fact why is he playing!
