If he is as shit as you stated, why does Pep keep him on the ground for four seasons and give him a contract extension till 2025? Why do players who could play right winger like Sane, Sterling and Jesus all leave City while Mahrez is still kept in the squad?He's good at controlling the ball, cutting inside and shooting. Every. single.time.
He's fairly shit at most other things.
Fannies out of tackles, slows the game down, constantly checks back inside and plays the safety first pass to our full back, holds on to the ball too long, takes too many touches, never spots the overlapping run of our full back, makes terrible decisions with when and who to pass to.
His stats are very good, but I think he's overrated for the reasons stated above.
tbf it was meant to be a joke reply :)Problem is everyone believes their opinion to be right, otherwise it wouldn't be their opinion.
because they all wanted to leave, City wanted to keep all three of them, bit of a strange point to try and score with tbh.If he is as shit as you stated, why does Pep keep him on the ground for four seasons and give him a contract extension till 2025?

I know but I'm a serious guy Alf :)tbf it was meant to be a joke reply :)
LolKompany was a great footballer and an iconic player for us, but not a great defender; outside of Mancini’s well drilled, low block defensive unit his lack of awareness got exposed in a higher line. He was horrific in Europe aswell.
He’s a lot like Gerrard in the sense the armband, the winning goals and the physicality masked a lot of their shared flaws - it’s no coincidence both clubs have gone up a level in the absence of their egos and erratic presence on the pitch.
Funny how he gets slated for not being able to play out from the back when pep hadnt even made it a thing yet , joe was a traditional english keeper , no need at all to bash him for thatJoe Hart
1 really good season, one decent , the rest was an accident waiting to happen
poor decision making when coming off his line
terrible low to his left
distribution was absolutely woeful, not just his playing out from the back but his long kicking , 50% must have gone into touch
also a bit of a low key bellend, loved the sound of his voice and came from the ingurland school of leadership which involved shouting a lot and displaying pashun
Pirlo showed him up as the plum that he is
Yeah but his is wrong ;)
Contracts were on the table for Sterling and Sane and Pep was happy for Jesus to stay. They just wanted to leave.If he is as shit as you stated, why does Pep keep him on the ground for four seasons and give him a contract extension till 2025?

You still hear "we never replaced De Jong" on the forum. Of which the answer should always be, "we deliberately replaced Barry, who had better positional play so didn't have to do leg breakers to break up play".I think NDJ is a great shout. An absolute fan favourite, but a player not needed in a top side. He helped us get to that stage, but the fact he had to slide in so much illustrated that his positioning was poor.
But he expected everyone else to win the ball back and give it to him while he stood still waiting for it - like the rest of the team were his supporting cast. How does that attitude promote team unity ? He was brilliant for his first season no doubt but overweight and lazy for the rest of his time - though still produced amazing moments albeit with greater infrequency. Pep wouldn't have him anywhere near the current team.
Ironic that the thing that Mancini overreacting makes you boil your piss, which seems a little OTT.But does it really matter anyway, it was a bloody exhibition game ffs
One of the only things Mancini boiled my piss over, he was way over the top with his reaction.
The guy was a loose cannon but he did some great things for us, definitely wasted his talent, if you can call being super rich a waste of your life lol
Not really, a lot of weirdos didn't like him but I thought he was great, took us over the line to success but I thought he was wrong to drag him off like that, fucking yank commentators booing about disrespect, you could blatantly hear a whistle before he did it as well.Ironic that the thing that Mancini overreacting makes you boil your piss, which seems a little OTT.

Did we have time to rate him, let alone overrate him?!George Weah.
Might of been top notch before but pretty average for us.
Saying this I think he was about 59 when we got him
