Kalidou Koulibaly

This dude ain’t gonna magically make us water tight, we will still lose possession and teams will still break and go one on one with EDERSON who will try to save it with his feet. We will still be caught napping , we need a decent shield in front of kk and laporte

I know he played badly vs Lyon but there's no need to shout.

Over how many full games watching KK are you basing that?

I ask as I think Stones has been poor for quite a long time

Not many tbf. Watched his first two games of this season vs Fiorentina and Juventus where he had two very poor performances and I watched him get embarrassed twice in two meetings by Kulusevski vs Parma and then the Liverpool and Barcelona games.

I don't think anyone is proclaiming he will make us watertight, that would be folly.
However, if he significantly improves us from our current form, then that is a huge step fwd.

he’s lost form after his injury , been bang average last year. And he plays on the left of a 2 at Napoli ,we already have ake and laporte.

this is a signing we should of made 2 years ago not now when he’s career is going down hill ..

we should be going all out for
Upamecano

Thought so. So you are making your comparison no doubt on those two poor games (take your word for it as didn't see them) against what games Stones played for us?

It wasn't just because our defence that we didn't mount a challenge this season though. It was mostly because we had too many games where we didn't take our chances.
For next season we already have Aké and then hopefully Laporte can stay fit. I'm far from convinced that Koulibaly is a huge upgrade on Stones for example. I haven't watched him a lot but every time I watched him he's been awful and according to those who watch him every week in Serie A he's had a poor season. He's 29 years old and 70m is a huge investment. I'd much rather splash 100m out for Upamecano now instead of getting Koulibaly for 70.

City games points dropped without scoring, when conceding 1 goal or less= 3 points loss in 38 games.

0-1 at Southampton.

Other losses without scoring:

O-2 Wolves
0-2 Spurs
0-2 Utd

So we would have needed 3 goals in each game, to win, or 2 for a point.

City points from 1-0 wins=
Sheff U & Leicester= 6 points.

Liverpool points from 1-0 wins= 15.

City points dropped when scoring 1 goal= 9

Liverpool 1-3 = 4 goals needed for win.
Utd 1-2 = 3 goals needed for a win.
Chelsea 1-2= 3 goals needed for a win (end of season).

City, points dropped when scoring 2 or more goals= 12

Spurs 2-2 = 3 goals needed for a win
Newcastle 2-2 = 3 goals needed for a win
Norwich 2-3 = 4 goals needed for a win
Wolves 2-3 = 4 goals needed for a win
Palace 2-2= 3 goals needed for a win

Liverpool points dropped scoring 2 goals =0.

FA Cup semi final= 3 goals needed for a win
Champions League q final= 4 goals needed for a win.

Can we get rid of this idea, that our defending isn't the main problem ?
