Dullest Football Since Pearce?

So here, WTF is a pivot?

I think this is a more reasonable take on the situation

Okay, but how is that a reply to if a player is world class or not.

This was what my post was talking about not how bad we are playing or our current league position.

Literally discussing with somebody else whether 4 players he named are actually world-class.

OK. Most City fans are disappointed with recent results but to unreasonably diss all the players is just throwing your toys out of the pram. What has Walker done wrong? Ditto Edison. Do you expect players to play without making any mistakes? I think this season, a bit of support wouldn’t go amiss. It’s easy to support your team when they’re smashing every record going - shame it’s so easily forgotten when the going gets tough

With all due respect again, what has my disappointment (not that I mentioned that in the post you have taken offence at) got to do with anything I said?

Some of us don't go around wearing blue-tinted specs all day and night and can judge a player without feeling guilty about thinking they may be good or very good players but are not genuine world class players.
.
So firstly I will repeat what I also said about the players, the bits you chose to ignore while thinking I was dissing them.

Ederson, there is a very good keeper in there, hopefully, he will learn to stop the rashness and be our keeper for the next 10 years.

Walker, he is a very good player just not world class.

Aguero was world class but father time is tapping him on the shoulder

Kdb is world class but looks tired.

So out of those statements which part is unreasonably dissing them off enough for you to throw your own toys out of the pram, in a sea of shite you chose my post to attack.

You ask what Walker has done wrong, as a Very good player not a lot but if we want to judge him world class then...


Walker first then, the number of times he is caught on the wrong side of the attacker which leads him to stick a leg out and concede penalty or dangerous freekick and not learning from this basic error.

Ederson, rashly flying out off his line time and time again making it easy for the attacker to slot the ball home into an unguarded net, it happenss a lot.

Aguero I never even 'dissed' unless saying he is nearly at the end of his City journey and what an incredible player he was is 'dissing' him.

Kd, dissing him by saying he is tired, I must hang my head in shame.


I hope you notice my joining date for this site, so you can take your 'going gets tough comment' and stick it up your fucking arse, 44 fucking years for me.

Discussing whether 4 players are world class or not has got fuck all to do with being supportive or unsupportive, it was a reply to a post and giving my own opinion on that question, I know on a football forum, what am I like eh?

Plenty of those other types of posts on here for you to go and find, off you trot, you will be in for a long night.

You’re obviously very upset with the team so I apologise for upsetting you even more. I too am a long term supporter for 55 years &, whilst it hurts when we don’t win, I just don’t think it’s down to specific individuals & I don’t like to see them called out as such.

all teams are inconsistent at the moment because of the situation but I do think we’ll turn it round

So here, WTF is a pivot?

I had to look it up

From wookieepedia "A pivot in sport normally refers to the number 6 in Rugby League, as well stand-off, five-eighths or second receiver. Into the second decade of the 21st century it became a popular term amongst hipsters to describe a defensive midfielder or anchor man, alternatively the 'number 6' in continental Europe."

There you go- must be true if it is on wookiee.

Last season says Hi:-)

 

[Jesus2020]

FFS - & here’s me thinking we drew with the rags at their place???

I mean in previous games.

'Anchor man' sounds about right for Rodri... He looks like he's dragging one around with him in every game

So here, WTF is a pivot?

it's a term widely used in US soccer, American football, ice hockey, skating and fuckin' ballet dancing! It used to be called 'Anchorman' in the UK but since been bastardised and used frequently our American 'siddy' fans on here. It has crept into rugby league too.

DM is fairly recent too replacement term of anchorman.

The term pivot winds me up because every time It gets used on this forum I think of Rodri(treacle toes) and Gundogan fannying about like a pair of big ballerinas!

 

[hilts]

Rodri is a centre half or a midfielder against a Burnley. Why Pep didn’t drop him in there last night is baffling to me.

Do you have reading comprehension issues?

Nothing I said to the other poster and then in the reply to you has got anything to do with us winning, drawing or losing or being consistent or not or it hurting or not or if we win or not.

It was about whether the 4 players he called world class and he thought these 4 players were the only world class ones in the team btw were actually world class or just very good players, you see that bit of context there, world class OR just very good players, not shit players but very good ones.

I didn't agree that is it, that is all you have to understand, I know it seems like it has been hard for your to get your brain around those simple premice of discussion "is somebody world class or not?"

I mean if it was about how poor we had been playing then everything you had said would then be validated but as the discussion wasn't about our current form or league position it renders you quoting of me a pile of confused shit.

Like I proposed to you earlier, there is plenty of those actual kinds of posts for you to go and quote and give those posters what for, like a true 55 year veteran, you just happened in your fucking addled old mind misread my post somehow, still not sure how but you did, but that is what you have done.

And finally, I couldn't give two fucks for what you like or don't like being discussed, you certainly turned the original discussion on its head that's for sure and for fear of repeating myself 'WRONGLY stuck your oar in'

Now go and bother somebody that is or was slagging the team off and not having an adult discussion on players being world class or not, regardless of us being top middle or bottom of the fucking league.
