It’s always difficult to judge a defensive player against us, certainly at the Etihad at least. Ultimately they defend as a team, and that result isn’t purely down to him.
He wasn't much better in the first leg. He is just potential at the minute.The guy is quality, he can't really be blamed, when we play like that all the opposition look wank and they are far from wank they are a very good team
Didn't handle crosses particularly well. Plenty of work needs to be done with him which we really afford if Laporte is leaving in the summer. Bring in an alternative is the better bet for now and if he improves at RB Leipzig then pay his release clause.It’s always difficult to judge a defensive player against us, certainly at the Etihad at least.

So Bellingham is shit after the other night and Gvardiol is shit now because of one game where we were a million levels above them!?
I don’t think the general consensus is he’s shit, more that he seems to have a lot of shortcomings for someone who’d possibly become the most expensive defender in the history of the game.So Bellingham is shit after the other night and Gvardiol is shit now because of one game where we were a million levels above them!?
He reminds me of Dejan Lovren, decent defender but very slowI’ve not been impressed in the handful of games I’ve seen him. He gets turned so easily, slow as fuck off the mark. £100m is fucking bonkers.
He wasn’t, but you can’t dismiss at the amount of times he gets turned. I thought Messi doing him at the World Cup was just because of Messi’s brilliance, but he’s definitely prone to getting left for dead.Wasn’t particularly at fault for any of the goals but also doesn’t really stand out even in the first leg
Nah, don't think he wants to see a City shirt or a certain Norwegian striker for a while after tonight.Bet he is desperate to sign now
Is he better than what we have? I don’t think so personally. Save the money and invest elsewhere i
We trust pep and Txiki Begiristain :-)He isn't better than Laporte.
We said that about Mangala (I am serious about that statement). All he has is potential and looked shaky in the two games he played against us for starters. Even Reading about him on the RB Leipzig forum says he is far from the real deal.We trust pep and Txiki Begiristain :-)
