Nicolás Otamendi - 2018/19 performances

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

They are all capable of that Bill. Eddie in the first few minutes and Laporte also

I have always taken this as the City default. Joe Mercer thought he'd seen every way anyone could score a goal, but even now I can't turn up to The Etihad without thinking of Uncle Joe's words and what concession, never before seen in a game of football, City will conjure out of thin air!

Massive player for us. Methinks he should have been given more on-pitch time. Keeping Otters happy and in our side is huge.

Played well last night but could of cost us points.

Made a foul on Lanzini in the box, Lanzini continued and played a pass to Carroll but had he gone down I am 100% sure the ref would have given the penalty. We are lucky he didn’t go down.

Oh my Goodness!The fake compliments for players we don't like. The "He did well but" argument :(
So your claim is that if Lanzini had cheated and tried to hang is trail leg and fallen over, they'd have gotten a pen and he'd have cost us points? Oh brother!

Damn bro, you trying too hard. Otamendi had a very good game. Period!!! And he did not nor could not have cost us points. Had Silva 2ice, Gundogan, Sterling and Aguero all scored their chances, we'd have scored 5 and Otamendi almost fouling Lanzini, even if he had done it 3 times still wouldn't have cost us points.

But since you are just fantasizing, I'm sure you were on the Silva, Sterling, and Aguero thread pointing out how they could have cost us points too, right? I'll check.

He is so underrated its unreal. He might not be ahead of Laporte and Stones in Peps pecking order but such are the demands of the season he is going to play a lot of games. We are lucky to have such depth that this lad is arguably 3rd choice. He should really become a bit of a legend for us.

Lolol Otamendi is good not great, couldn’t ask for a better 3rd/4th choice CB.

The complements are not fake, they’re real just like the criticism. You’re comparing attackers and defenders lol. You do realize defenders and keepers are judged on their mistakes much more so than attackers. Ederson may play a great game and then have a blunder causing us to drop points. Then in the end this performance is considered bad. Same with defenders. This can apply to attackers too if they miss a sitter like Mahrez did but we still won the game so it’s brushed over. Sterling missed a sitter at Burnley and we dropped points, it’ll never be forgotten.

Otamendi is good defender that had an extraordinary season last year, he is error prone but as 3rd/4th choice there’s none better. We can’t except to have a world class defender so far down the pecking order. That’s my assessment, don’t love him, don’t hate him either.

 

[Trojan1962]

Had a good game last night would be first choice elsewhere lucky to have him, a great tackler and good in the air. Hope we keep him happy and he stays next season

For what it's worth he doesn't really appear to be 3rd or 4th choice.

 

[pride in battle]

Coming into form again which is great for City
A real pro, love him

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Top defender who's consistency over the past two seasons has been pretty incredible.

Never injured, wins 90% of headers and 50/50s and nice range of passing.
