Don't get me wrong, he might become a good player in time, but i don't ever think he is genuine City quality. I have a friend who is a Fulham fan and he said although he has a lot of potential, he is very raw. He said his passing and decision making aren't the best and will never be good enough for a team like us. Like i said its a matter of opinions, but he saw him perform every week unlike us. However i think Brandon Barker, Manu Garcia and Pablo Maffeo have the tools to make it at City, its whether they live up to their great potential. All depends on their mentalities.

I understand that point. I was disagreeing with your apparent initial statement that he wouldn't make it at City based on his first half performance tonight. He's not been bad at all (especially for a debut of sorts) and like I said, he's trying stuff out which is promising.

I'd also say that the bold bit could easily apply to Fofana too. If he can get another loan where he's starting regularly then his decision making will improve and I think it's unfair to suggest by omission that he's not shown some good potential in the youth sides.

Pellegrini should have played the likes of Evans in that midfield instead of Demichelis. I wonder what his plans are for Dimechelis in that role because he seizes every moment to play him there. Today, there was no need.

It's refreshing to not be hearing our money mentioned every 5 minutes...

Should be behind.

Jesus Dedryk, any movement at all and he's lost.

Only turned it on for the last 10-15 minutes of the first half but he made 3 stray passes from about 6 touches. For me, youngsters need to be doing more than just not putting a foot wrong, it's their chance to impress. This isn't specific to Fofana, I heard the same being said about Loftus Cheek when he made his Chelsea debut the other week. They kept banging on about his 100% pass rate when all he had done all half was pass it to the nearest man. I'd much rather see them try and make more of an impact in the game.

Yeah mate you're right. He hasn't scored a hat trick yet. He's fucking wank...

I despair sometimes.

I really don't understand why Manuel hasn't played the youngsters bar Fofana.

Kun, Zab and Martin all have Copa America in two weeks, why are they playing?

Because we have another game in a couple of days and the Argies boys won't be available for that one?

or 10 ahead.

I still think Manuel should be playing the kids, it's the perfect time to give them a try.
