Some good points..but the lad cannot defend

Looks and plays like he should be in under 18’s team

One man’s “no man’s land” is another man’s “playing narrow, as asked” and he blocked the first cross and was unlucky it fell straight back to Weah.

City are playing at one speed going forward and a slower speed going backwards.

Need about 6 big, strong 22-25 yr olds in this team.

The bigger mistake was a lot earlier in the move..he calls Gvardiol across to go to the man with the ball (Gvardiol is further away from the defender he gets called to go towards and then Rico doesnt recover for the ball in behind him and he has pulled Gvardiol away from that player...and Gvardiol was initially closer to the guy who eventually collects the ball and crosses......


As Ive said...Rico is the only problem but he is one of the big problems

It’s like watching a game of chess watching us and then when we lose the ball it’s instant check mate to them . Why doesn’t Ederson play the long ball , it bloody works

What’s funny, a 20 year old who’s being asked to play all over the park. Taking responsibility by trying to get on the ball constantly. Not shying because it’s not going right.


He can fucking hold his head up as far as I’m concerned.

It’s easy to get on the ball with no pressure and pass it 4 yards sideways. He’s a small child who’s never gonna grow and never gonna get any faster doesn’t like to get stuck in and doesn’t create any chances what’s so good about his game ?

Better tonight but positionally naive and his second touch is often a tackle..let the wrong local lad go sadly!! Imagine if we had Palmer..would have lifted everyone as he would have had loads of games this season...wank timing

In other words- he's gash!!!

Not deserved tbf.

Anyway iv been impressed with our style tonight, we're getting our mojo back but obvs not there yet.

Juve let us have the ball because they know we do fuk all with it….

Would not even let him on the coach never mind the pitch. No pace no strength no creativity useless defender rarely tries a pass longer than 5 yards sideways.

What a load of bollocks.

At least he’s trying to get on the ball. Always making himself available.

Typical City. As bad as 1938 this.

Anything is possible, we have got form for this sort of thing after all.
