Old video but still worth look into in regards to Felix
The Athletic has gotten worse since this. It was a decent video
I think sometimes when people criticise a City player for not doing certain things, it's from a viewpoint that isn't really relevant for City.Cancelo apparently is a shit defender, even tho his main role is overloading midfield and help with creativity, ppl still blame him and Laporte who has the highest passing accuracy in the team with a total of 94.9% !.

For instance, Rodri used to get criticised for not being progressive enough with his passing (even though he did it more than any DM in the league at that time) and for passing backwards and sideways too much. But they never bothered to ask why he'd do it or think why it may have been a good thing he did that.
Ederson is another. Apparently he's not a great shot stopper. But there he is on your list with 20 clean sheets. That must mean he's doing something right!
You get it with Grealish, we've had it with Gundogan, Jesus, and Zinchenko over the years a lot. Old-school "traditional" qualities aren't necessarily the best way to judge a City player these days.
He's got the most total tackles out of any City player in the defending, midfield, and attacking thirds. He's got nearly double the amount of interceptions as the 2nd highest player.Hes not a shit defender hes just not a great one.

im 54,56 next year, everybody is the same :)I'm 60, going on 62 next year, so it is possible.
Pretty nailed on tbh. But for us as an elite team the 0.1% or 1% of what a player does is what makes or breaks league titles. If there is any team / players that gets judged on fine margins its us.I think sometimes when people criticise a City player for not doing certain things, it's from a viewpoint that isn't really relevant for City.

Lodi is going to Newcastle on the cheap?
I might actually listen more when he talks about Atletico as it’s just broke that Lodi is heading there haha. Yea Newcastle apparently offering 18 million.

Decent business by Newcastle that, surprised others won't match that? Paqueta might be joining as well.
If true, that's fairly massive :) Cheers!Little bit of interesting info. Been told that Brighton have started asking around about new left back options. Hmmm.

It's certainly interesting. Could just be them being sensible though if anything develops.
