If kreis gets canned who would you like to see replace him? Let's be realistic
I agree. That starting lineup was set by a man who knows his job is secure. If his job was on the line, we might have had mix or poku in. It's like it's a scrimmage and we're still experimenting ....Last night's lineup should show everyone Kreis job is safe.
So he throws Wingert and Grabavoy to sabotage the "CFG lineup"? Sneaky sneaky Kreis.I know I'm going against the conventional wisdom here, but last night was like...
Kreis to CFG:
OK, we'll play your lineup in the first half and my line up in the 2nd half and see which is better!
(Except he had no intention of taking out Villa for the 2nd half.)
As mentioned elsewhere, I was monitoring ShoutBox and the general consensus there and on Twitter was that the level of City's play was better during the 2nd half after the DPs left the game. There were even scattered compliments for Grabavoy's play.So he throws Wingert and Grabavoy to sabotage the "CFG lineup"? Sneaky sneaky Kreis.
I think general opinion is anchored by the penalty and marred by the resulting nerves on Dallas' part. I didn't see anything that would have qualified as better football under broader circumstances. It was all kick and rush so the ball was in their half for longer and we had fresher legs so no duh it looked like we got better. By schoolboy standards.As mentioned elsewhere, I was monitoring ShoutBox and the general consensus there and on Twitter was that the level of City's play was better during the 2nd half after the DPs left the game.

Just sayin'.
Don't bring your logic to this debate. We all know everything is Ned, Kreis and Wingert's fault.

You can't expect a coach to be fired after one season when half of his players were only there for half the season. Yes, putting guys like Ned and Grabavoy in the lineup is crazy, but realistically Dallas was our hardest opponent this week. Plus, we're also playing Toronto and San Jose in a 7 day span so we need to have balance in playing time. Pirlo, Lampard, Mix, and Poku can't all play 270 minutes this week.
We all knew that 2016 would be the real season for this team having all three DPs for the full length of the season and having time to train together. If we suck as bad then as we do now, then #KreisOut
I also think we need to look to add a couple more MCFC loans. I don't think Facey and Angelino are good enough to play for the parent club, but IIRC Kreis said that we can get up to 4 loanees from MCFC. I would like to see two more guys make the move over here if we have the international slots for them.
Time will tell but I'll be a little surprised if either is back. They're two young developing players who've now had a good taste of first team football. Earmarking them for another season here means 4 and a half months out of competitive matches. I think it's more likely they're sold or loaned within England during January to continue learning as starting players. We'd then pull players from the reserves again once our camp starts
