This fella is a donkey. Aside from his comedy penalty and dreadful positioning, he has inexplicably kicked it straight out of play about four times. Never a premier league player.

He played pretty well in his first game alongside Vinny. Had Diego Costa in his pocket.Definitely not. Koulibaly can ACTUALLY control a football unlike Mangala.
Unfortunately, that was his only real decent game for us.
I watched them nearly every weekend when they had Sarri for 2 seasons. He was brilliant in nearly every game. He has been poor lately but I think that's definitely down to the manager and the system, rather than him slowing down. Under Sarri there was direction, he was the best defender in the world at that time for me in 18-19. He won the Best Defender in Serie A award above the brilliant Bonucci and Chiellini.Makes me laugh how the people who rate him make out they’ve watched Napoli every week for last 5 years

I have to say he's made an impression on me.
He's absolutely awful, and in an empty stadium, imagine what he'll be like in front of a hostile crowd, the ball will be like a hot potato.
I'm hoping his mind is elsewhere, like thinking about a transfer or something and his game is much better but his distribution and his positioning have been awful.
If we pay 70m we've had our pants pulled down.

You mean like during the last six years when he's been phenomenal in front of thousands of fans doing their best monkey impressions at him?
Yeah, I'm sure he'll struggle against the gammon in the stands in the mighty Premier League.

I understand what people are saying about covid, needing a change of scenery (which I think is pure BS btw since the guy is very loyal and geniunely happy to be in Napoli I believe) etc...
But this guy is 29, should be the leader of his team, and he is putting in performances like this against every good opposition since the restart. The same signs are there as there were for Alexis, Fernando Torres.
Also I disagree it is unfair to judge him on this game aswell. We need a marquee CB for exactly these kind of games, against your Burnleys Otamendi is more than fine but against the best players we need defenders who can hold their own.

He’s 29He is absolutely shocking one match or not he’s all over the place, at this level this is not good enough, can’t even do the basics and giving that penalty away with no awareness come on! He’s 28 not 18 and learning the game! Steer well away spend the money more wisely City!!

You're all slagging him off for going to ground easily but I've seen rasher.
