Happy where we are 7th and unbeaten, just goes to show you can spend shed loads on money on players as Spurs have done and still have a crock of xxxx for a Team, next two games very winnable.

I'm pleased where we are, GB, and the fight in the team. I also like how we defend and the midfield is pretty decent.
I do feel that our lack of firepower upfront will get exposed soon enough. I've seen no evidence from Johnson as yet that he can play as a cf.
{Ed025's Note - its the same old problem Benny..

Seen no evidence so far that Johnson is a player.

Johnson is a terrible footballer. I wouldn't play him. I would rather play with 10 players. That was a bad move getting him, and Barry wouldn't get a game in the Conference League. The guy is one of the worst footballers I've ever seen.
We need to get to January as quick as we can to try to buy some players. Having him up top is pointless, it shows you how bad the Premier League is if a team like ours can pick up points because we are toothless.
{Ed025's Note - i cant argue with that Dino..

I've seen the evidence that Johnson is crap. Who signs these players? I wouldn't swap him for a packet of sandwiches, never mind swap him for a player. We are a joke, and tbh we are hard to watch. I am going to the Ipswich game and then Liverpool, and that's it until they sign some players.
Sick of going to Hilldickenson and spending good money watching pure crap football and football players. Most games we hardly have a shot at the net, it's boring.

I thought the midfield yesterday was shocking. Garner is nowhere near ready to play in the first yet. He is off the pace, not tracking his men. He let Fernandes go in the first half, which should have seen a goal for Spurs. Kdh, for some reason, couldn't shoot, powderpuff attempts instead of with power, and his passing was completely the opposite. Too many of his passes were hit with power and behind the man. Armstrong was the best of the three, but he ran in blind alleys too often.
I thought Moyes was insane for taking off George and leaving Johnson on. George was playing really well and Johnson was having a stinker. Even Dibbling would have been a better option, as he can hold the ball up like Jack, who I thought started to get us control of the game.
Jack and Dibbling in these types of games are so important. They get time on the ball and frustrate the opposition, but they also get niggly fouls that allow you to get up the pitch. It's why City camp inside the opposition half most of the game. When you have a team like Spurs with the players they have, it's so important you start to take the sting out of the game. For the first 20 mins all we did was hoof the ball up, which allowed them to get back on the attack.
Anyway I ain't totally moaning because it was still a good point, but they are a poor team and we should have got a better result. Also, it was nice to have a good RB in the side. He is still a bit rusty but he looks like a steal at £4.2m.

Garner only at 80% ran that midfield against Spurs.

Haha Dino, in pure meltdown mode!
It ain't all bad, Dino. We're undefeated after 5 games and averaged 2 goals per game at home so far. Also played United at home and a Spurs side that's spent 350m quid.
2 more points out of those games than last year.
I'm really hopeful for this season. Take another look at the glass and see if you can find the bit that's half full.

Feel the comments on Barry being crap are extreme and a little unjust. He has had 1 full season and is young. He is essentially playing up top on his own. He isn't crap, and I think he will continue to improve. For that matter, nor is Johnson.
I think we need to get real. With the summer spending, I doubt we will get European football, but we won't get relegated either.
More of the same, I think, which isn't going to please the fanbase, but until we can sort out our finances and start drawing revenue from the stadium, it could be a couple of more seasons before we are the real deal (just being realistic) .

What will please the fan base, Witty? We could get to Christmas undefeated and there will be some that find something to moan about.
