What was the excuse last season?

Im not his biggest fan but there were far worse performances than him last night - he didnt do too much wrong for me and was excellent at looking forward - something Ive been critical of him in the past for. Rodri on the other hand - comparing him to Javi Garcia is doing a disservice to Garcia.

For me its never been central defense on its own and the last 2 games have proved that. Our midfield is too passive without ferny and both full backs are highly error prone with mendy being particularly terrible. The bloke fails on every level at passing to team mates and is a liability...

How many clear cut chances have we missed in the last 3 years? I'd put a wager on kev getting 40 assists+ next year with messi smashing salads record. Who needs defence if you score the 6 big chances per match you make?

Just need 2 assists to break the assist record now and really show them up as biased nonces.

Baffling. Not only is de Bruyne head and shoulders above mane this year but he plays for the club you support. It's not a team award fella, its individual. What the dippers have done this year is immaterial when it comes down to it.

Is it his opinion though?? Hes supposedly a City fan yet he doesnt think it should go to De Bruyne who's head and shoulders above every player in the league this season? Mane has been a good player and an absolute pest to teams, but he doesnt run games. He has sports where hes very good. I...

Clearly a dipper.

The worst part about that was when Richard's pipes up and says he agrees with the reasoning and then says it should go to mane!! Dont worry micah your bias isnt showing as your nothing more than a stooge!

Im gonna go out on a limb here and say the Mendy will get the LB spot as you know... he is a LB...

He really needs to go on loan to somewhere like Burnley to fulfil his potential...

Definitely a big game player, but if he put in his box early has a tendency to sulk. For me jury is out if he will fulfil his potential. Cant see it at the minute and even less in a farmers league. You get better by testing yourself against the best week in week out. Bar Dortmund I dont see that...

I honestly dont think we need a replacement. I'd rather minutes given to Braaf slowly over the rest of season. We have players that can cover the position for now, our attacking isn't a problem its defense we need to shore up. Get koulibaly and a LB that can actually play football (mendy doesnt...

I dont get all the hand wringing and gnashing of teeth going on. He hasn't been on the ball last season and who knows if hes going to be after his injury. The people saying the club dropped a changer need to give your heads a wobble, hes been going for 2 years since he refused to sign a new...

This is the crux of the matter for me. While laportes injury has undoubtably left us very weak in defense, for me the loss of ferny in midfield exacerbated the situation as it gave opponents a free run at a weakened defense. I fully believe rodri is going to grow into his position but to be able...

I agree with this. I dont even care how old he is, we got dinho at 28 and look how that's worked out. If he gives us even 3 years at his top level then both Garcia and fingers crossed HWB will both be ready which gives us s ball playing CB and a beast who can play. In my opinion this would be...

He is well and truly following the autocue there isnt he?? Big difference to his early appearances.

Strange timing, I've been disagreeing with him for 2 years yet he chooses now to block me when I've not bothered with him for a couple months

You seem to be misunderstanding the makings of an argument. I actually love sane but hes patently not improved from last season, show me all the clips you want, I've seen the shit clips where he loses put to a player throws his arms up in exasperation and gives up. I'm not rewriting any history...

Not sure what your struggling to make sense of here. When do you see teams NOT stick a back 9 in with a lone striker? How can you get through a box of 9? Its shown time and again that sane needs space to really prosper, the way we play in his current format he wont ever be that deadly player he...
