He has 80% pass completion this season...Obviously lower due to Bilbaos tactic of just lumping it up to Aduriz. But he has misplaced over double the short passes Mangala(89% pass completion) has. Obviously that doesn't show how they fare under pressure but does allude to his possession game being no better.
And it's actually now 6 red cards as he got sent off today.
I hope were not in for him
89% possession for City who play possession football for the sake of it rather than trying to hurt the opposition isn't that good. Absolute gash when fighting off the gegenpress against Liverpool and the Britannia press at Stoke.
As I say possession stats mean eff all as far as far as City are concerned who pass the ball in front of the opposition for ages during a game.Highest of all our central defenders though (otamendi 85, kompany 84, demichelis 86)
Didn't deserve the sending off yesterday as Halilovic dived
Still puts himself in position to get sent off with the numerous yellows he picks up for his poor tackling
Laporte - 31 yellows and 6 reds in 100 games
John stones - 5 yellows and 0 reds in 66 games

Sorry for my ignorance, as I haven't seen anything of him , but is he a walking red card case ?
That record doesn't really inspire confidence , especially as Otamendi already can look like a car crash in waiting . Do we need another ?
