Most overrated City player ever?

[Keeper!]

To me Dibble and Dunne?

Dibble was utter gash, he got a career out of the game for one penalty save in the League cup final.

Mahrez has the most incredible 1st touch of a footballer i’ve ever seen, the likes of messi included, genius

Always thought the same.

His first touch is sublime. But you’d expect that of a professional footballer. Grealish, Bernie, Foden and Kev can all kill a ball.

He’s predictable, slow, weak, selfish and his decision making can be unbearably frustrating. If not for penalties last season no one would be buzzing off him. And the most important pen he had… he missed.

Never seen a footballer get away with so much because he has mastered one fundamental skill. His first touch!

Seems you’ve already selected who to moan about and boo next season now Raz has gone

Dickov. We wouldn't have been in that bloody division had he don his job in the previous two seasons.
His ability was blown up out of all proportion as a result of one very important goal.

Has this question been asked just so people can try to give the most stupidest answer?

Fernandinho - brilliant player and a wonderful servant but the way some talk you'd think he was prime Makelele/Busquets rolled into one.

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion and that this thread is very subjective but I would say that Fernandinho very much belongs in the category of the two you have mentioned and probably even higher.

Fernandinho was an exceptional footballer.

He was better than both.

Robinho.

 

[trevorriley]

there are some players that have partnered for example at the back with Vinny, done as they are told by vinny, then talked about as being just as important to the team.

Kompany

But he expected everyone else to win the ball back and give it to him while he stood still waiting for it - like the rest of the team were his supporting cast. How does that attitude promote team unity ? He was brilliant for his first season no doubt but overweight and lazy for the rest of his time - though still produced amazing moments albeit with greater infrequency. Pep wouldn't have him anywhere near the current team.

Whilst all that is true he was still a brilliant talent. Under a coach like Pep he would have thrived. Anyway Stan you didn't exactly run around a track back.

We have been at it for years lol

It's all about opinions Alf.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Kompany

I said this for years. Fantastic leader of men, good defender at best. Too reactive as a player to be considered 'great' imo.

 

[bluemc1]

I’m going Foden, said it before I’ve no problem with him in the team or anything but some of the talk I hear I just don’t see it

Bang on

Yeah but his is wrong ;)

 

[eastmanc]

Yeah but his is wrong ;)

Problem is everyone believes their opinion to be right, otherwise it wouldn't be their opinion.

Mahrez is not overrated. Don’t get me wrong.. he’s not one of my favourites but I’m not sure why as technically he is is absolutely sublime. Although I have never taken to him like some of our legends he is some player and he does work harder than I give him credit for. He’s an incredible footballer!

He's good at controlling the ball, cutting inside and shooting. Every. single.time.

He's fairly shit at most other things.

Fannies out of tackles, slows the game down, constantly checks back inside and plays the safety first pass to our full back, holds on to the ball too long, takes too many touches, never spots the overlapping run of our full back, makes terrible decisions with when and who to pass to.

His stats are very good, but I think he's overrated for the reasons stated above.
