James Milner runs more than any player on the planet,,, why>? because he is average and has to and respect to him for it.
We are talking about one of the worlds best players, I don't give a flying *uck how far he runs. its what he contributes in the match and it was little on that night
Like I said, not for the want of trying.
if you EVER have to question the effort of ANY player, he simply should not be a professional in any sport.
And for that reason Mr hard man Kolorov downed tools the game before at Southampton, his manager stood and watched...SHAMEFUL MANUEL

Whatever they did and no matter how far anyone ran or trotted, they did not compete or fight. An all too familiar story this season.

Sorry but that game in Madrid was a very low point in me watching this club.
I have followed City 50 years, lived and suffered through the Swales years.
I though we were simply pathetic in Madrid.

An all too familiar story in our league games granted but not in the CL and not on that night, we just weren't good enough and not helped by carrying a passenger in Yaya on the night.

As an attacking force I agree we were pathetic but not for the reasons you suggest.

Wasn't a charming approach to our pampered players supposed to cure all?For me the team was good enough to beat Southampton, it was the attitude and the lazy players who couldn't put a shift in! That lies at Pellegrini's door with his softly softly approach with players since he's been here! Certain Players know they can get away with half hearted performances its been happening for 18 months.

No-one will dispute that. We are about to start a new chapter. Time to move on.

Not sure you could properly describe it as 'hard earned', compared to what some people have to endure just to put food on the table.I am still angry after the Madrid performance, so I would hate to think what our magnificent owner thinks after putting a billion or so or his hard earned cash just for a moment like that!

I'm not putting the blame on one player, I have said previously said that Aguero, Yaya and DeBruyne were all poor, but in Aguero and DeBruyne's case that wasn't for lack of trying, they both just had stinkers, Yaya on the other hand well.....
Btw DeBruyne trotted 11.5 km in that game.
Distance covered isn't really a useful indicator. I have seen stats that Yaya covers more distance per game than Fernandinho (and most of our other players come to that), yet I wouldn't say he is making more of an effort. Effort is about more than just running.
Exactly . get the result today.No-one will dispute that. We are about to start a new chapter. Time to move on.
Adios Manuel
And a new start
Don't question the ethics of our owner.Not sure you could properly describe it as 'hard earned', compared to what some people have to endure just to put food on the table.
He has brought pleasure and pride back to our club, he has given us things that we could only dream.
The guy maybe has got lucky, but my word what a legacy he is leaving for his people and for millions around the world.

That's fair but to suggest he just trotted about is nonsense, you don't cover that distance over 90 minutes by just trotting about.
That Yaya stat is surprising, not in the sense that Yaya covers so much ground but that Fernandinho covers so little, you certainly don't get that impression watching him.
No one was questioning his ethics, just pointing out that watching the Petro-dollars pile up in your account isn't really what we usually mean by 'hard work'. And good luck to him.Don't question the ethics of our owner.

I think that is perhaps because Toure is in continual motion at a jogging rate (when not sat on his arse complaining) whereas Fernandinho plays more in spurts and sprints. Also maybe Toure gets forward more and as a result runs further to get back.

YaYa has been managed appallingly for two seasons
The same for our captain and Silva.
YaYa was no longer a 90 player, so use him accordingly, the captain and Silva have had constant injurie problems, never properly sorted or contingency plans made.
You had Komany and a 35 year old CB whose legs were gone last season and who was playing right through the close season for his country. We had Denyer, but Manuel sent him packing...amazing

Hard earned....halfwit

As one match day wag said - the net result of his jogging is he's behind the ball when we are attacking and ahead of it when defending. Fernandinho is being effective with his movement.
Yaya has been a great, great player and at the heart of our success. Still been here two seasons too long though.
