I think maybe preventing the opposition from scoring goals is his job, which he seems to have accomplished to a very high standard. It is perfectly possible for a City keeper to obtain a clean sheet in a game without saving any shots unless you consider crosses or sweeping up behind our...

"Is there a metric that shows the quality of shots faced? " I think you have hit the nail on the head. Personally I have never seen one or even close and I have never seen 2 identical shots/saves, which would be the purest basis of a factual comparison. People use technology programmed by humans...

For context, how many games have you played in goal in a professional football team. Not being negative towards your opinion but it helps to know whether your "not slagging but..." observations are based on personal professional experience or just on watching videos like many of us. For a...

There are doubts amongst supporters but maybe not so much Pep who tends to prefer a "horses for courses" approach as he showed when calling on Zinchenko for his 28th "cameo" of the season when a change was needed on Sunday.

You are correct imo up until you made no mention of the significant contribution Zinchenko made to the historic comeback. I find it hard to believe a knowledgable poster like you could omit mention of his performance. The West Ham game highlighted many weaknesses of many players, but in the very...

No the guy was not basing his opinion on 45 minutes, he was saying that Pep's introduction of Zinchenko indicated to any open minded person that he felt Zinchenko was the man for the job on the day as opposed to villifying him imo in an ott way "horror show" for the West Ham game. You missed...

But we don't know 1. if Phillips is coming and 2. what players we have or are trying to sign to replace Ferna, so factually, what opportunity was missed, I doubt the club was pretending Ferna would play forever and a replacement would appear by accident. I think sometimes we simplify the whole...

Alvarez is not a completely unknown quantity, City don't usually buy unknown quantities, they buy players with what they see as great potential. He may be over hyped by some who reacted to his 6 goal salvo but he is highly ranked in South America, a continent we have signed some decent players...

I didn't see any horror show, I saw a team fail to win a game 3 - 2 because of a saved penalty and a defense lacking 4 fit players with a soft centre and only a vague likeness to a solid unit made worse by the quality of Bowen's play. A slightly fitter defense started shakily against Villa...

As proven when Pep brought on Zinchenko at left back and moved Cancelo to right back to change the game against Villa ? Pep maybe doesn't see this distance and prefers a different type of left back.

You forgot replacement for Mendy, which is what he would be.

If our club thinks they are a good fit for us where they play now is absolutely irrelevant. How many £ 100 million should we be spending and what better players at better clubs are you suggesting.

Contract dissolved, free agent.

allegedly, reportedly, apparently are all the same, speculation.

Dutch reports that his City contract was dissolved by mutual agreement. "Taking to Instagram, Braaf announced that he has left Manchester City after having his contract dissolved," Seen no contradiction of that.

We weren't chatting, you were stating your opinion as if it was fact, regardless of any alternate opinions. I have supported City and our players for nearly 60 years and am perfectly capable of forming as broad and reasonable an opinion as any other poster here, more reasonable than many...

Pep selected him for the crunch games, he is the only one that counts, he decided he was good enough. Let's not set up Haaland as the next victim of the moaners. We hope he will score more goals, it may be probable but is never guaranteed.

And any country who has their own form of football.

As of today, Manchester City historical records show that Zinchenko has made 128 appearances for City since 2017, the vast majority as left back. Whether we think he is good bad or indifferent and whatever his own and Ukraine's preferences, can we stop claiming he is not "a real left back", the...

One way or another by the time the case is closed he would be close to the end of his contract imo, he would also likely be very far from match fitness.
