8 | Mateo Kovacic - 2023/24

[iTyler]

I don't think he was that bad but as I've said previously, he shouldn't be starting for a treble-winning side when he couldn't get in the starting XI at Chelsea. He will be a great squad player though.

He offered nothing all game and should have been sent off. Yes, he was that bad today. He wasn't alone though in fairness.

Was shit again today. Had an excuse against wolves, he's never been a dm and never been able to do it. Pep learnt his lesson and put him in his usual role with Bernardo deeper but he didn't show up.

Aside from him deserving a red he didn't impose himself at all on the game when we needed him. very disappointing but he'll be a big player for us.

He's been here a few months and just come back from an injury. People writing him off after two shit games are fucking morons.

 

[MadchesterCity]

A fucken liability today, not good enough

 

[clarion]

Average player.

 

[Blue Steel]

Was incredibly lucky to stay on today. Surprised Pep didn’t hook him at half time - he had no qualms about doing that to Nunes a few weeks ago for a lot lot less.

 

[come-on-barney]

Think Chelsea got the better deal. Not a bad player but not up to the standards we are use to.

 

[Jumanji]

Might need some extended time under Pep this one. Not yet ripe for all of his experience…

We just don’t do that sort of thing. Should have been sent off for the first challenge alone, straight red for me, was a proper knobhead’s challenge.

Then he went and lunged in on Rice.

Off his scarf, stupid behaviour.

 

[City_Sean]

Got pelters for saying it in the summer but for me he's painfully average. He isn't a #6 but he's also not good enough to be an #8 for City.

Should have been sent off but his inability to move the ball quickly is there for all to see. He's been in the league for five years and hasn't impressed.

The knee-jerkers are out in force tonight!

 

[red 2 hats]

Think we've found our new FFS :)

 

[ElMago_DSilva]

Some of the dross I'm reading in this thread.

Some of our fans don't deserve success at all.

 

[Goldust]

He’s a good player however since rodri has gone looks bang average.

 

[mancityscot]

Played like a fucking bellend today.

Before the wolves game a lot on here we’re saying he is a bargain at £25 million but now the knives are out for him and he is being made a scapegoat by his own fans . Gundo would have been the sane today because he didn’t have a tackle in him either and nany a times he let the gane go by him . These players will get better at the season goes by and we will still probably win the title but instead of slagging kova off let’s get behind him and suooort our team .

he was a lot better with rodri next to him, now the two games he played without him, he looks unimpressive.

Gundogan got loads of shit from us for years. It's par for the course.

He's a really good player but my fucking word was he fucking stupid today. Should have been sent off twice. Incredible.

Rodri does that to a lot of players tbh .

I agree about today and he should have gone off but before the wolves game he had a great start to the season so I’m hoping we will still see him back up there .

We've lost three games in the last few weeks. I think people are just trying to blame it on their least favourite players and they're not really reliable when it comes to objectively rating any players overall quality.

It's just one of those times on the wonderful world of bluemoon.

Hopefully he gets a bollocking, never does it again and we move on.
