I don’t understand this forum a lot of the time. People want Dias sold and never want Josko to play again. And then there are ten pages about how awesome Khusanov was. I’m not saying he wasn’t good or that they were great…(no one was great) but I’m not sure the gulf in performance is as wide as this forum suggests.

He’s not done that for the last few games he’s played. I’m not sure why it’s become a tactic, especially with Khusanov having the pace to stop counters, surely he should be the one staying back, like Walker used to.

Surely it’s not because Dias can’t jog 40 yards into the opponents box?!
 
Doesn’t look anywhere near fit. Couldn’t move his feet to deal with what was nothing more than a fairly hopeful long ball.

This has been the problem for City all season, none of or regular central defenders have been fit and can't stay fit when they get back in the side. It's been one of the major problems for City and Pep all year.
 
To be fair it's hard to.judge any of the defence this season as most can't stay fit for five minutes and our captain and right back jumped ship mid season.

He's not been the same since his injury in October.

Not going to judge him on a season where it's a patch work defense of walking wounded playing defense and the midfield is unable to even run fast enough to commit tactical fouls when we're not set defensively.

The only thing I wish for Ruben, Ake and our defenders.. get back to 100% fitness!

when he said few months back in the media "please doubt us" to try to turn our bad results into some revenge mentality like watch how City will react to doubters after our awful period in November.

well many are doubting you now Dias, and the reaction is scary. get fit and start paying well. stop with the "please doubt us" shit.

our whole fucking defence is a big fucking doubt.

I want our players to stop saying stupid shit like that in interviews and posting quotes on social media.

Just improve quietly
 
brings some decent qualities to the side in terms of leadership and organisation. A very solid defender.

He’s a good player but he’s very overrated imo.

I actually think none of our Center Backs are fit.. and we're playing a patch work of walking wounded!

Ake and Dias I agree, khusanov is fit though.

I'm guessing he's just trying to muddle through this next week with them as best as possible, we've only got 3 games scheduled for March, money being the fa cup and a 4th game if we progress in that. We know stones and akanji are done for most if not all of the season but that resuced schedule should give us a chance to get ake and Dias as fit as they've been all season, khusanov settled and maybe get Reis involved.
