He has never been world class. Fuck me he is a long way from that.

Seen him labelled that many times on here by posters that you feel have some credence - usually after a good City win lol.

I've always thought him limited but a top bloke and a good athlete disguising a few faults.

He's probably got fuck all left to offer after covering for Yaya for the previous two years.

Jesus Navas had 10 touches, gave the ball away on 6 occasions, brilliant.

Wing back is perfect for navas. Doesn't really have to defend or attack, just chase people up and down the line.

Delph's been good, more involved than anyone else on the pitch.

I agree hes added a lot of energy and has made some good challenges. hopefully he keeps it up.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Just watch how quickly an opposing player closes him down when he is on the run mate.

I agree he isnt being played correctly btw.

He never had speed mate, it was his touch and speed of thought, he now literally puts his head down and thinks he's sane, driving forward, yet he looks like he's stepped in treacle... back to basics, touch, find space, delivery... he's over thinking

Too many attacks die with Aguero via his poor first touch or his trying to dribble everytime he does bring it under control.

G.Jesus made our front 3 so fluid, simply because he first time passes and moves.

I agree, i'm very surprised people are so pleased with his 1st half. Dribbling himself into trouble and having the ball ricochet off him too frequently. He was active and caused them problems, so he wasn't awful or anything, but not much came off for him either.

Stones getting skinned alive again.

Oh come on, it's Hazard and that was bloody brilliant

 

[Uptop]

Really soul destroying when we play some pretty good stuff just throw it all away with bad defending. We let teams score so easily when we work so hard to score ourselves.

Cant wait for a few additions next season, should hopefully give us a huge boost.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Disagree about Kun. Apart for the tap in he's done little, hardly held the ball up.

Brought a save out of Courtois from edge of box, running down every channel and been excellent in tight areas.

He is more than up for it.

 

[Mr HJ]

Not played that badly but it is so clear where we are lacking. With the ball we are fantastic without it we become sluggish and ill disciplined. We need a power house centre midfielder, a partner for Stones and two young, pacy fullbacks - that would make us a team capable of beating anyone.

You think Dinho is playing full back?

You actually watching?

So where's he playing then?
