There in lies the problem I whined about all summer. He didn't make many brIn farts. The few he did were just overblown and overplayed. So far he has made 6 mistakes by my count for City. But none have led to goals, so no overblown media coverage.
I kept pointing folks to the obvious during the summer. He made fewer errors than any of our Central defenders 'per minute' last season. Fewer than Kompany, Ota, Mang or MD. But folks just got hypnotized by the 3 errors that led to goals, and started making up other errors by association.
Nothing he has done here is surprising, unusual or unexpected. Thia was how he played at Everton most of last season. Folks just chose not to watch. I downloaded about 15 Everton games and watched them all. I was sold by game 5. He was an unhidden gem wrapped in talking heads bullshit.
Sadly too many bought the bullshit.
