Nicolas Otamendi - 2016/17 performances

[BlueAnorak]

Not going to ground as much makes him twice the player he was last season. Great defending.

Difference is pep has a plan and the defence has protection like it hasn't for 2 yrs,nico has been told to stay on his feet and he is 10 times better now,john compliments him really well,how vinny will get back in i don't know

Stones and Otamendi can't keep playing every match so, there will be games for Kompany, if he stays fit that is.

And as good as they've been, we still haven't kept a clean sheet.

My one beef is that he 'goes to ground' under innocuous challenges and totally negates the hard man image he wants to portray. Suck it up and get on with it.

I will archive it the second it gets pre'd (released) on the server mate. He really was very good today, you will enjoy the match, top viewing from our pov :-)

I've got it recorded mate, but tx anyway. Is the Kell fight on the server tonight?

Yep :-)

 

[Rammy Blue]

Once again, very interesting to see how a better manager can improve a player, or at least get him playing to the levels we assumed he was capable off.

Absolutely magnificent today was our Nico, awesome 90 mins.

 

[stony]

Yep :-)

Nice one matey. I shall try not to get too pissed before it's on. When my pc crashed last night I started watching a film. Don't know what time I fell asleep but I woke up with an empty glass in a small puddle of whisky.

 

[cucumberman]

Could have scored too.

Hahaha, gutted mate, i know you have grown rather fond of your posh whisky recently, hope it was not an expensive one.

 

[trevorriley]

Did some on BM slate him...... Never any doubt this guy can pass, has football vision and reads the game brilliantly.. And getting better

 

[mosssideblue]

Rated him from day 1 and is now showing those who had reservations what he is all about. Great defending today and as someone mentioned, can leap like a salmon.

Not too bad, it was Jamesons. Got a nice Glenlivet for tonight and then it's another week of abstinence.

 

[HellasLEAF]

What a match from Otamendi he was a beast out there today. A great performance

 

[Alex - Not City Matters]

Superb today. Grande Nico!

 

[pablomurphy]

If the highlights show it later. Check out the tackle on him when he has a shot in the second half. He has his standing foot taken out. Was a pen for me but never mentioned since

 

[che_don_john]

Absolute trooper today. Zabba-esque. Passing was good and his defending was even better.

However, I wish he would cut out all the histrionics. I'm sick of seeing him rolling about every time he gets touched, because a) sometimes he seems to think about diving before defending and occasionally he won't get those calls he's waiting for, and b) it's just a little embarrassing.

 

[come-on-barney]

Humble pie on this one - he was superb today and the last few games. Incredible last ditch tackles today.
