Man City have a real weakness !!

Get as many crosses into that box as possible, they allowed Bristol Rovers-City to score 2 goals with truly awful defending. Neil Warnock, get them crossing, crossing and getting the ball into the box!!!!!!!! :ayatollah: :bluescarf: :bluebird: :old:

Yes, noticed that. Wonder if we can borrow Flint for Sunday.

Noticed that they are not very good at dealing with long balls and crosses

it is a weakness, I have been thinking the last few weeks that for a Neil Warnock team with three long throwers (although granted we haven't got them all on the pitch), how few goals we are scoring from long throws and corners ?

Although I haven't checked the stats and could be wrong, it just seems disappointing to me ?

Our long throws are practically a waste of time

Forget any weakness they may have had -they now have Lee Mason as the ref, so we won't get a single 50/50 decision now :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

We don't cross from open play because Zohore can't head a ball. He's over 6 foot and don't think he's ever scored a header for us actually.

Set pieces will be a massive threat though.

And Warnock wants 20m for him. :laughing6:

That's because he's class at what he does do. Which is, when at his best, pace and power running at/in behind defenders.

If he was 5 ft 10, we would treat him more like an Earnshaw/Chopra but because he's over 6 foot, he's treated a bit like a target man. He's actually not a target man at all.

His heading is his worst attribute. If he had the desire to be a genuine all-round striker, he would need to work on his heading. That being said, if he was, he'd be too good to be playing for us.
