No one has a positive word to say about him. I hope he doesn’t see this thread!

Seems to be sleepwalking through games this season. Needs to get his head together to be able to perform at centre half for a team with lofty ambitions. He’s lost all his aggression and ‘swag’ and just seems to be very physically lightweight at the moment.
 
I have firmly held out hope that he can be a stalwart of both the City and England defences for years to come. Now I'm thinking just England cos I couldn't give a fuck about them. At City we need a cb that isn't piss weak. Pull your fucking socks up lad.
 
Hope they don't extend his contract, doesn't seem to have the physical side of the game needed for the position. Maybe Garcia will get a chance though I doubt it.
 
Drinking in the last chance saloon ?

Many on here have written him off, so interesting to see if Pep feels the same way. I guess most of us are disappointed with the way he has not pushed on , although injuries with an apparent loss of confidence haven't helped.

We.don't have too many ready made alternatives unless Garcia is given a chance , so the next couple of months might well be revealing.

Laporte's return can not come too soon.

He’s not got anything particularly special though to start with if you break down his attributes as a central defender. Pace no, strength no, great in the air no, organisational skills no, two footed no. Probably the greatest myth about average John is that he’s great on the ball. He’s undeniably got a decent touch but when have you ever seen him create anything with a great pass or by attacking the space he often has? He takes the easy option every time and usually that means a 20 yard square pass.

He used to be good in bringing the ball out of defence. Early in his City career he was doing lot of that. But I guess he was probably banned of doing it and as you say, it's not lot he is left with.
 
The backing off was fully predicted yesterday,the rags need tackling higher up the pitch,it wasn't right to drop nico out when he played well on wed,he is risky but a proper defender,now we have john with no confidence and nico with the hump
 
He really isnt good enough for city, weve gave him too many chances, i really dont know how many more chances we can give him. He looks like hes getting shitter every season please pep get rid of him
