Most Overrated Player to Play for City

Big money for the time but they were both fucking ace!

We moved on Colin Hendry and Andy Hinchcliffe in that time, they both went onto have better careers and win trophies elsewhere. Hindsight is beautiful thing but maybe we should have kept hold of them both. Loved Keith Curle, Phelan would get caught out of position a lot bombing up the pitch.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Nothing worse than a striker who scores a ton of goals...

His goalscoring record for us wasn't anything special and he didn't contribute outside the box.

I love him and would welcome him back as a Plan C but I think his abilities have been greatly overstated by others with a soft spot for him.

Present - Ederson, think he's an average goalkeeper that wouldn't play for us if he wasn't so good with his left peg. Still yet to have a game where he looks unbeatable

Palace away earlier in the season is the first one that springs to mind.

Because he made 2 saves, 1 brilliant and 1 routine? This is what i mean, see how you are overrating a performance by him because of one save

You just said he hasn't had a single game where he looked unbeatable. I mentioned the game where he kept a clean sheet and stopped everything that came at him, one of which, by your own admission, being a world class save. I'm not sure what you want really.

If you're waiting for us to come under a barrage of shots for 90 minutes then you'll be waiting a while.

Keith Curle and Terry Phelan, so much money wasted and supposed upgrades on two of my favourite players Colin Hendry and Neil Pointon

Keith curle?

Wow, just wow

Mancini always played with two up front. Perm any two from Aguero, Dzeko, Tevez and Balotelli. It wasn’t a question of anyone playing second fiddle to anyone else.

Dzeko was underplayed in my view. He scored four at White Hart Lane and was benched for the next two matches. Letting him go was a mistake but inevitable.

Aguero and Tevez started every match for me. That partnership away at Norwich was something else. They were sensational. Dzeko was a confidence player and Balotelli too unpredictable. Nobody aside from Mancini would’ve brought Mad Mario to City.

Hart at Spurs and home to Dortmund are unbeatable performances. Whilst I’m not the active fan I once was, Ederson was signed as he can play with his feet. Hart couldn’t.

Perhaps but Edin was always second choice to Aguero and if push came to shove it would be Aguero that would be first choice. The current team is lacking in height and has been for a few seasons. All i am saying is that against teams that are prepared to sit back and defend, alot of average teams cope for long periods because they know we offer no aerial threat
