I love the way you say that but don’t refute any of the 3 shortcomings I highlighted.Absolute nonsense!
I just think he’s average, mate, and that he can be drastically improved upon.He played 30 PL games when we won the title the season before this. Can't have been too far off decent then?
This season has been different for many. A more consistent starting lineup and he may get back to his heights.
Yes but gvardiol has the better scope if he stays at centre back.Dias has had a couple of poor seasons now he regularly gets caught out because of his lack of pace in a high line and his passing has deteriorated. Hopefully with more pace in midfield and rodri back this will help.But if not especially at cwc we need to have a look at khusanov , bah and rheiss.Dias is still our best defender.
Though that is true, it includes players who are really forwards - Bobb, Doku, Savinho, McAtee, and, no doubt, some who are playing in defence!We had 15 first team midfielders on the books last season, 17 if you want to include the two lads on loan. It’s completely ridiculous.
Who does he play for?Have we signed any **** yet?
UnitedWho does he play for?

Can’t fault his character, definitely a leader and vitally important when we’ve played such a dysfunctional back 4 in the last months of the season. I just can’t get past his limitations, and think that we should have someone better alongside Gvardiol moving forwards.Fair enough.
I think the more space he's given to cover the more average he gets, it highlights his limitations.
The penalty he gave away against Villa... while not much of a penalty, it all wouldn't have happened if he'd challenged Rashford out wide straight away, but he just kept backing off because of his lack of pace.
I do like his character though - if he were to leave someone would have to step up as a leader back there.
The players we're supposedly after change by the day, fuck it, they change by the hour.Have we signed any **** yet?
Maybe it’s called being a “supporter “Ye totally agree about Bobb, I didn’t even notice him until I’d posted haha. His stock is as high as it’s ever gonna be amongst the fans, can’t possibly get any better for him.
Some city fans have unconditional love for some players regardless of performance.
We have to read between lines bro. pep relied upon him last year. Thats why there were no signings apart from savinho. The main reason for that is we had bobb (and Mcatee as well). But the main factor was oscar bobb. he showed his quality in pre season as well.
calm down mr trump lolWas going to respond with facts but can see what you doing! Won't be replying to anyone more of your posts so carry on posting fake news..
His major flaw is he’s shit on the ball and can’t pass for toffee. Without Stones next to him he’s a liability.The major flaw is his speed, especially playing such a high line. In a deeper position he would be fantastic
calm down mr trump lol
Keep saying it but he is the guy we should be after. An unbelievable playerIt looks like Arsenal are after Mitoma.
i know i dont disagree with you, its just you using the fake news terminology made me chuckleHe is one of those morning post generators everywhere posting shite
Bro!! Fucks sake.We have to read between lines bro. pep relied upon him last year. Thats why there were no signings apart from savinho. The main reason for that is we had bobb (and Mcatee as well). But the main factor was oscar bobb. he showed his quality in pre season as well.
It was the only error to goal he’s made all season. IMO. I’m used to it. How many of our defenders give away goals. We’ve been conceding lots of goals for a while now. Even before Pep. What we can’t do is create. This new system should have players that can create from fullbacks midfielders and wingers. There’s nothing to suggest he can’t improve with time and coaching. He’s still no.1 when it comes to tackling dribblers itl. 6/10 in defending but 9/10 in attacking balances itself out. When I think about it, who else is out thereCan’t fault his character, definitely a leader and vitally important when we’ve played such a dysfunctional back 4 in the last months of the season. I just can’t get past his limitations, and think that we should have someone better alongside Gvardiol moving forwards.
He's been included in the Fifpro World 11 twice already, so he can't be that bad.I love the way you say that but don’t refute any of the 3 shortcomings I highlighted.
So is he not slow, not crap in the air and not crap at passing?
I just don’t see how the old “playing in a settled side” is going to suddenly change any of this.
He’s bang average, imo, and we need better than him.
