Nicolás Otamendi - 2018/19 performances

[schfc6]

Otamendi is a fine player and has been a great servant to this club.

Just one red card in his City career (compare with VK). He's good in the air, good on his feet, a good tackler, fearless, a goal threat, no slouch, dependable, is rarely injured. He combines well with other players. He never complains about anything, and he maintains a low media profile. He's a proper team player, and appears to be popular amongst the staff.

Really, what's not to like?

Short sleeves and gloves?

Agree with every word by the way.

Pretty sure he's in the photos from Monday's training on the OS. Not selected? Retired from internationals?

Thanks, I thought he'd been selected.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Can't see him on the latest training video but that might be my eye sight. Everyone else is there.

Don't know about today, but he was training with the squad the last few days.

If city get a good price and we get a younger ball playing CB...I am all for it

Since when are we looking to buy a new centre back?

Since Kompany became a crock and Mangala is shit.

 

[Goater=Legend]

So we're not gonna try and move Sandler or Garcia up?

Vinnie hasn't a lot left in the tank

I love his ability to win tackles so consistently playing as aggressively as he does.

 

[FantasyIreland]

If you had told me one of our centre backs would get MofM before the game i would have been amused , it was a war when Brighton got some set pieces and the General didnt let us down , superb performance.

 

[kaz7]

How lucky are we he can just come in and play so well,him and eric got a right good test today

 

[mccity]

Was actually impressed with him tonight. When we need to sit back and defend he's so incredibly reliable.

2 straight games.

Apart from the 4 or 5 free kicks he gave away within crossing/shooting distances for their best players....
He was 6/10. Typical Emendation. Good to solid at times but has brain-dead moments which can cost teams, particularly at this level
