PRESTON WON THEIR FIRST GAME IN 11 GAMES & THEIR FIRST AWAY WIN.
You’re blaming Riza that we never had a game, if it was the other way around you would say they were more thresh.
You said before the game, the team were well up for it???
Riza says his players were 'nowhere near it' and it was 'men against boys'. Says some of his players were 'scared to get on the ball' and the team 'lacked quality, energy, intensity, hunger and desire'.
Yet Riza says we only need two more players??
On other News Aaron Ramsey injury has recurred and will be out till maybe February at best, played only 17 games many as Sub out of 78 games since rejoining Cardiff.
Omer Riza:
“Some players did not want it, there will be changes and we need to see a reaction."
OMER RIZA:
"We were very flat, not enough energy and intensity.”
“Preston played on Saturday so they had a game behind them, we missed out, I feel that helped them.”
"There was a lack of quality in possession. We trained on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and it was enough to make sure we were ready for this game.”
"They’ve [Preston] played a game on Saturday and we haven’t. We were lucky to go in at 0-0 at half-time. Players want to play, but when they do play they have to do more.
"We have a turnaround now and we have to look at a few things from a coaching perspective, how we approach the next game and to try and get something out of the game."

Omer Riza:
"It’s about performances and winning games, but we didn’t have it today. We’ve got to get on with it and there will be more conversations to get to the bottom of what happened today.
"We get through it by talking, getting out on the grass and applying those principles again and making sure they’re ready for the next game. You can’t think about it for too long, because you take it into the next game. You have to make sure we put it right.
"The crowd were excellent today and tried to raise the boys’ intensity levels. That shouldn’t be the case. The players should be giving that energy to the fans, not the other way around. We have to move forwards.”
"For me, it’s a challenge and it’s something that I have to deal with. If I want longevity in the game, these are the things you have to come through. We’ve lost the game today and we weren’t good enough, but we have to pick ourselves up and go again in the next game.”
"If I ponder too long on it, I won’t be doing my players, my staff and the Club a favour. I just need to get on with it now and look at what we need to do. There will be changes and we need to see a reaction."

“Nowhere near the performance you need to be at, at Championship level. Flat. No desire. Lack of quality. Not good enough. Nowhere near good enough.”

He can start by taking his hands out of his pockets. That looked terrible. I’d be annoyed at that if we were 4 nil up!
Thu Dec 12, 2024 8:11 am
Our joke of a club never fails to disappoint me. We appoint an interim manager, he gets the normal new manager bounce for a while, we don’t appoint him. We then go on a winless run where the new manager bounce has worn off completely and it’s clear he’s out of his depth, we then appoint him and subsequently carry on being awful. I said when he was appointed he wouldn’t still be in charge by February and we would be looking for our third manager of the season. We did it a few years ago and stayed up by the skin of our teeth and we might not be so lucky this time. Even with my low expectations of the board they really do continue to surprise me with how incompetent they are

Its a sad state of affairs and there just does not seem a way out of it.
In situations like this you have to search and find out where the problems lies. Is it the players, the game plan or both? We all have our own opinions.
For me I do not think our squad is good enough and I feel we need each player to give 200% per game just to survive. We showed that at the beginning of Riza reign but that has all but disappeared, why? My opinion is we don't have that striker to score the goals. That is putting pressure on the team. We can have a spell of defending well and using our midfield to attack but we can't sustain that and this will result in us having more bad runs than good ones. That is what we are witnessing.
I also fear the atmosphere at the club is not helping. We have an owner that does not care and thinks we should lord him as he pays the bills. A chairman that is hardly there and the 3rd in charge who basically is worthless. This will reflect downstairs which we are seeing on the pitch. Next will be a dwindling support which is obviously going to happen.
Concluding I just don't think its going to make any difference to whatever changes Omer does.

Riza needs to stop blaming everything but himself.
I sit right behind him every game and he was a disgrace for the full 90 minutes.
He is not a manager. There was nothing coming from him. He just stood there silent apart from the odd mumble to himself.
This is up there with one of the worst appointments to date, he will take us down 100%.
How can we expect passion from the players when the manager has none.

Been taking lessons off dalman has he.pure bullshit
Thu Dec 12, 2024 8:50 am
Start with the absolute basics - get these characterless players to clap the ones that sat in the baltic conditions to watch that shit.
Would a Warnock/Malky/Leader allow that???
Disgusting.
I'd give every single player on the bench a start on Saturday. Chaos!!

Breaking Aaron Ramsey :
Omer Riza:
“Ramsey is a long way off returning as he has not been able to train fully and it’s been on and off.”
Ramsey has only played 17 games for Cardiff City and main as sub out of 78 Games since he rejoined the Bluebirds.
“ Ramsey’s injury keeps recurring and we don’t have an idea of his return.”
“Once he regularly trains again.”
"Then we can look at whether he will play and at what stage he will play.”
“There is no point in me talking now, saying 'I think he will play on this date', because there have been a few reoccurrences, so it would be unfair of me to put pressure on him.”

The tiki taki tactic needs to be scrapped. Play football in the oppositions half, don’t play risky football in defence, especially on the halfway line.
Quick transitions to attack, frontline defending, we don’t have a target man but balls into the box will eventually get you goals
Thu Dec 12, 2024 9:46 am
Basically saying we acted like a league 1 side instead of a championship side.
Thu Dec 12, 2024 10:01 am
Its like the mc'carthy era all over again i would like to know who when he says there will be changes thought that was supposed to be our best 11 he could put out.

Agreed. It's never ever been our identity. We have always been a direct attacking team. Everyone is trying to play this style, 3 will get relegated due to being the 3 worst at it; we are currently in that 3.
Get 2 up top, get balls up there as fast as you can. f*cking about the back 4 with zero final third penetration, when 0-1 down at HOME is not working.

The scottish co commentator said cardiff where playing across and back and across tge pitch again no sense of attack
Reminds of bulut again possesion recycle what happened when riza took charge we attacked from the off quickly why change back to this possession b.ll.cks
Thu Dec 12, 2024 10:24 am
Don't get me wrong he's saying the right things, but there's no way with that squad we only need two players . After that performance I'm actually convinced that we will be relegated this year, and I hope to f##k I'm wrong.

He's not the first manager to fail with these players and if we got another one in tomorrow nothing would change. We've got a group with no balls for a fight and that needs to change first. At the moment it's like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.
Thu Dec 12, 2024 10:45 am
One up top at home does tells clubs who come there we are defending more than scoring in most games. It don't matter how much you have the ball if you got one up front who can't hold it up or make runs in behind your doomed before you start against organized teams. Two shots there goalkeeper had to make all night does that not tell most what the problem is. Although we need a miracle worker to sort this squad out.
Thu Dec 12, 2024 11:46 am
Up there with one of the worst performances I have seen, we even made Bowler look good ffs. Totally out of his depth,, no plan A never mind B. Stood on touch line hands in pockets all game like a rabbit in the headlights, I am not for or against the protest but the Derby game could see us get stuffed at home which may not be a bad thing as much as I hate to say it.
We are in freefall and Riza has no idea what to do, players poor, Ramsay stealing a wage, Ng thinks hes Maldini and generally only ODowda seemed to be having a go.
