well pep must rate him to play him so maybe time to get shut of the bald fraud

Why must Pep rate him? Pep played every attacker available to him.

Pep started him away in champions league and if pep thinks a player isn’t very good they get the Philips treatment

 

[pudge]

So much venom for a Man City footballer! I’ve seen enough that he does have something because he has done it in champions league games! Just need time to develop! We only 12 premier games in so at least give him this season.

When players are on the pitch, they'll get every ounce of support and wish to do well from everyone.

If, however, their performance on the pitch is absolutely shit then I personally don't see any issue with saying as much.

If Arsenal or Liverpool, or anyone, had a player play as much as he does and scored one league goal, he'd get fuck all sympathy or be rated here at all. We'd all be laughing our bollocks off.

Pep also played Eric Garcia. Pep has to give him minutes, he’s just signed a new contract. I suppose the one thing he has over Phillips is he doesn’t show up over weight.

our new Nunes/ Doku thread. Will probably prove people wrong someday and then they won’t enter this thread for some time. Not worried about him. Foden and Cherki had stinker same for Haaland. Only Doku was productive in that game

 

[Columbia]

Doku always had talent it was obvious. I’m happy to have this quoted back but Sav is nowhere near good enough for city.

 

[jrb]

The amount we were offered was 43m so put those 60/70m in the bin! They reported that they willing to go to 70m that does not mean we got that amount offered!

If they actually put 70m bid in instead of talking ifs and maybe’s we wouldn’t be having so many gullible supporters none stop talking about it!

Just out of interest, how do you know Spurs offered £43mill for him and not a penny more?

 

[twosips]

Why don't you quote the posters who you think have gone over the top, rather than lumping everyone who doesn't rate the lad in the same boat?

I don't rate him, I think we were crazy not to sell him but I've personally never gone in two footed on him, I never would.

I quite clearly don't lump everyone in the same boat if you actually read my post.

 

[twosips]

This is akin to tactical ballbags on social media who think they see every fine detail of professional managers.

He's fucking shite.

There's no deeper meaning nor does there need to be for people to just call things as they are. Doesn't make anyone less of a fan, doesn't stem from anything deeper. There's fuck all wrong with calling a shite player shite. No different to praising a quality player as just that.

Everybody here wants what's best for the club and I for one think what's best is for him to not play

Nowt wrong with pointing out that some people also just enjoy being cunts. Not everyone who doesn't rate him, no, obviously, but some clearly do. You don't have to follow football to know that. It's everywhere. For some they'll use any excuse to have a proper good old moan and stick the knife in someone.

Give me Antony over Savinho everyday….

 

[wattle]

Awful lot of hate in this thread. A lot if it seems genuinely spiteful. Real shame it's come to this.

I don't hate him mate. I don't "hate" anyone really, especially not a City player. I don't even dislike him. I just think he's no where near our talent level, and has a petulant and lazy attitude. I really can't understand his playing time.

Doku always had ability to go past people with so much ease that is rarely seen at any level. Savinho isn’t playing well but how people can continuously say he doesn’t have brilliant natural talent of his own is completely baffling to me. He’s got an absolutely brilliant first touch and a decent turn of pace. He can glide past defenders. Yes he needs to improve but he definitely has the talent to become a top winger.

What might hold him back is that unlike Doku he seems a bit up his own arse. People saying Pep will just play him regardless is just ludicrous. If Pep isn’t having someone he’ll happily just bin them and he’s done it with bigger and better players than Savinho. Mentioning Eric Garcia is also baffling. Pep gets it wrong sometimes as he did with Garcia. With him it was because he loves a footballing centre half. Not because he just liked the lad so wanted to give him minutes. Make no mistake Pep is ruthless when he needs to be.

He’s got it full on this season. It’s not just the two you mention, it’s Grealish going and Rico not playing.

He’s the full on scapegoat so far this season. He’s being shoehorned into everything and compared to anything that happens in other games.

He’s not been great, but writing him off is folly.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Yup. Don't get me wrong, he's been wank this season and im not sure he has the strength of personality to overcome the summer nonsense, but we gain nothing from a scapegoat scenario. That toxicity affects everyone, not just him.

We should never boo players in the stadium. I think criticism on a forum like this is totally fair as long as it is honest and fair. Sadly Sav looks way below the elite level and he showed that again at Newcastle. We just need to replace him and move on without any drama.

Then have the courage to quote and call out the individuals that you don't agree with, who you think have gone ott.

Honestly mate I just can't be arsed. It's an effort thing, not a courage one. Id be on here arguing with people all day

Moaning is the favourite pass time on Bluemoon. You should know that by now.:-) Some City fans are never happier than when they're having a go at their own.
