Can you not recognize sarcasm when you see it, or were just not following and jumped in with both feet regardless? Champions League final?

That’s pathetic. Picking quotes from other threads and attempting to use them here? Out of context, yet they still support my view that I should be allowed a dissenting opinion! Grab a clue.

I don’t disagree with any of that. He’s been a great servant as a speedy RB.

Then, let’s close all the player threads and just say, “Well, Pep picks him, so case closed!” I’ll keep my own counsel on my own opinions, but Pep’s welcome to give me a call anytime if he’d like me to change my opinion.

You’re missing the point that his defensive abilities are almost non-existent, with the exception of speed allowing him to get goalside of an attacker. How about positioning, covering his man, holding an offside line, making the defensive header (instead of bending and undercutting him), etc...

What I’m talking about is his defensive abilities seem to have been reduced to “enough speed to make up for his deficiencies.” As an established, experienced, international full back, one would hope we could talk more about his actual defensive abilities, not just his speed being sufficient to...

It’s the yard head start thing that’s the problem, though, isn’t it?

Might I politely suggest you do not understand how pep wants City to play, especially when you start talking about square, backwards and vertical passes? Your “vision” of the game is different from Pep’s. Not necessarily worse, but different. In addition, he points where the player should be...

Do you mean like all the food on the shelves?! Let’s not play silly buggers and act like we don’t know!! That said, getting free bags after you pay for your shipping should be an employee perk. It’s a ridiculously high mark up profit center “disguised” as a “clean earth” policy! Shame on them...

Akanji said he couldn’t continue, so Stones came on for him. Which part are you struggling with?

Akanji said he couldn’t continue, so Stones came on.

Yesterday, specifically, but take away the pens and he’s been a decent young player in a mid-table team full of internationals. Let the hype die down and see what you have in 12 months.

He was throwing up!!! Sick. Unable to continue through illness...

Yes. He was playing the advanced CB role and he switched places with Akanji, because he was throwing up. At one point, a few mins before HT, he was standing alone in the middle of our half while bent over double throwing up what little he had in his system and retching. That’s why he came off...

So do we wait and break the bank or go with the best we can get for the position if we think it requires immediate attention?
