Nicolas Otamendi - 2016/17 performances

[Neville Kneville]

Best I've ever seen him play for anybody today, not just City. And better than Stones on the ball.

Because Stones was close to falling apart completely, I would give Otamendi the motm, because if he had lost it, imo the rest of the back 4 & keeper would have blown it for us. There were other fantastic performances but Silva, KDB & Fernandinho had each other, all on the top of their game.

Otamendi had people dropping bollocks around him & stood up. A captain's performance.

Totally agree about Ota but not about Stones. Thought his defensive qualities last ditch tackles were excellent today. Loved how he dug in when he needed to rather than the nice passes. Plus nice he was back on the line....

I agree to some extent that Stones had his least effective game for us but was hardly falling apart. That said Otamendi was really fantastic. Best I have seen him play and could easily have been mom. Great performance and spirit from him.

Stones did some good work defensively & also some proper shite imo & his passing was more dangerous to us than anything Pogba came up with.

We will have to agree to disagree thought he played well today. Watching it back for the third time and some of his clearances, yes not spectacular were very timely. Think him and Ota proving to be a good pairing.

Yet another Argentinian who likes to wear a bandage around his head. They breed them tough over there!

 

[Tevez City]

I think he is our best defender right now.

 

[Dipsis_LTU_MC]

Best defender in the league at the moment.

 

[silvasilva]

Our best defender. And he's hard as nails.
