Which is all I was trying to say, people claiming the media are having a pop without justification was my issue. He was poor so he got a poor write up. Marmoush was good so therefor he got a good write up. It is that simple really. Rico left back and Gvardiol in the middle was the option and as I have said a few times now my issue is with Pep more than the young lad, he was thrown in on Saturday.

Rico at full back and Guardiol at centre half;-)
Tell me you are just kidding or you just didn't want us to win.
Rico at full back, ha ha ha ha ha.
Well done, everybody bit ;-)

Major paranoia there, targeted attack? He had a horrible debut, gave a goal away, booked within 3 minutes and then gave the ball away a few times. Marmoush isn't getting singled out is he because he looked great, sadly for the lad he had a stinker. He did grow into the game. He is 20 years old and not played much recently, he shouldn't have started really.

Not paranoid at all.
The media are cunts and acted like cunts in the way they reported his debut. No balance at all. I suggest you look to Akanji who perhaps deserved more criticism . Anyway each to their own.
If you think Rico starting was a better option that Kusanov then you haven't watched Rico this season.
Edit....trust me I am not paranoid about the media. I suggest you read all my posts on this thread, however the 2 footed verbal assault on him by the likes of Neville summed that clown and Sky sports up.

" It took fewer than six minutes of Abdukodir Khusanov’s debut for the £33.8m centre-back to be given a round of sarcastic applause for making a successful five-yard backpass to Ederson".

Part of a report from The Guardian. How can applause be sarcastic ? I don't understand how the reporter couldn't see that we clapped to give the lad confidence , given his shaky start .

It seems it's now fair game in the press to go in hard on a 19 year old debutant who has had one training session and can't speak English . Both reports , in this apology for a sports section , spend more time piling in on him than anything else . Why not talk about a truly limp performance from Chelsea (where Palmer goes MIA) and their car crash recent form or City's switch from possession based football to improvisation and route one .

Appalling and brutal approach. Let's hope the dressing room uses it .

Weird, that.

I was there and sincerely clapped him. Took balls to show for the ball again, and it can't hurt to let the young lad know he hadn't lost the crowd.

BBC reporting that the inquest jury for the Leicester City helicopter crash inquiry is retiring.

Could anyone please care to remind me why Dan Roan does not appear to be reporting on this? He is usually so alert and commanding on such matters from his position of holier than thou certitude.

Roan had plenty to say, he was on the scene at the time and had to apologise when he was caught making some disgusting comments about the Leicester owner.
The slimy, sneering twat should have been sacked but as it's the BBC, nothing happened.

As - probably - an older player and coach, we always used to say that the lad facing the right way should take control and blast it clear if necessary. I blamed Akanji immediately, but, it was an awkward situation for him as well.

Never mind; all's well that ends well. Kushanov's going to be just fine, I believe. That was some 5 minutes for the lad. Good luck to him - he deserves it.

Akanji risked taking the lad’s head off if he’d gone through the ball as he was already in the motion of lowering his head to the ball.

100% should have been sacked. His forced 'apology' was the most insincere apology I think I've ever heard.

Shithouse of a man.

I don't think it's an ability thing with Rico but he lacks strength although age is on his side as he's only 20. I think we need to give the lad a bit of time.

It’s a partnership thing which is what Pep has alluded to. Rico right back with a proper fit centre half pairing & a fit midfield is a quality player. He was MOTM in the games for the first month.

I agree totally.

Funny, isn’t it, that the Chelsea goalie’s error did a lot more to decide the result of the match but no one mentions it, except in a piss poor attempt to take credit away from the wonderful pass for the assist and the delightful chipped finish.

And where was Zico, sorry, cole palmer? Fucking nowhere. Wouldn’t even make our bench on the strength of that “performance”. Chortle.

Absolutely 100%
When he said he was sorry, the only thing he was sorry about was that he was caught bang to rights.
Also the only "journalist" to be banned from the premises by City.

It was moment when the Roan mask slipped. He seems to have a problem with foreign owners of businesses. I wonder why?

That’s what I’ve been trying to find out, but I can’t find a clip of it anywhere.

Apparently the presenter wasn’t blameless though too either, the way he led Sherwood into the comments, making insinuations about us.

The Club should write to Sky asap Monday morning and put down a marker about this sort of shite in any future broadcasts.
I’d also expect/hope for the presenter to get a written warning or whatever too.

Edit.
Here it is @69FACUPfinal

Thanks. I also watched typicalcity9320 on YouTube last night - had it all in full. Absolutely disgusting, City really do need to put a stop to most of the grubs in the media with their outright lying and denigration of the club at every opportunity.
