Hard man city 11

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Tony Coton was rumoured to be a handy lad

How are we defining hard?

Fair question, and we all probably view it differently. I personally don't think the likes of Barton, Keane fall into that category. I certainly wouldn't be concerned if I was confronted by either of them.

Not sure if we're discussing being hard on and off the pitch. Someone like Duncan Ferguson would definitely fall into both categories.

I'm surprised there's no nods towards Dave Watson. He gave the impression that, if need be, he could look after himself. Built like a brick shithouse, you'd think twice before having a pop at him.

As for Barton; behave. He was a sly little shit. Proper hard men would snap him in two.

If we are picking people for brutality, Robert Hopkins, who committed the worse tackle I’ve seen by one of ours, including Thatcher, and the WBA player on the receiving end was on the running track beside the pitch at the time. But if it a pick for hard efficiency, Fernandinho had all the dark arts and could really play as well.

I had completely forgotten Hopkins ever played for us? & whats weird having looked up the dates he did play for us I was probably stood in the ground watching him! old age is a bastard :-)

Are we doing hard players on the pitch or players who would be good in an actual fight?

Rico lewis is small but mighty, haaland is an absolute unit, and never underestimate foden his mum taught him everything she knew and ederson is a lunatic

Lee, Summerbee and Doyle would definitely be in my City XI going into a battle. Dennis Tueart rarely backed down from a fight and Wyn Davies enjoyed the physical side of things too.
