Nicolas Otamendi - 2016/17 performances

[argyle]

Not good.

His passing is awful and is like a headless chicken at times.

He needs a calming influence.

 

[CityFan94]

Not a top centre back.

 

[cookster]

Not sure if he's the problem or it's Pep who hasn't got a clue how to set up a defence.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Good tackler, keen to defend, good in the air when not challenged.

No pace, no ability to read the game, no sense of danger, hopeless in the air when challenged.

Decent 4th choice cb, never anything more. Kompany, not match fit, is twice the player he will ever be.

We can & probably will win stuff with him & Kolarov involved & they will probably play well again in the future, but we really should be looking to replace both with top quality next season

 

[Clercqs]

He needs to stop diving. It's pretty pathetic tbh.

 

[Neville Kneville]

He needs to stop diving. It's pretty pathetic tbh.

He does, but it was a foul on him by Ibrahimovic. But, he put himself in a position, as he always does, where if he doesn't win the ball, he is taken out of the game with one touch.

It's not possible to win every ball & he plays as if it is. Kamikaze defending all the time.

 

[Blue Smarties]

His spice boy antics get to me.

Exactly. He's a strikers wet dream. A defender that sells himself so easily and if they get the first touch they leave him behind on the ground and have a chance to score.

 

[TFC]

He's weak as piss.

 

[01cravend]

Best defender last season and comfortably our best so far this

 

[blue ranger]

Sooner we get rid of him and Kolarov the better. Both are absolutely useless. Every time we concede a goal Otamendi is on his arse somewhere.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Exactly. He's a strikers wet dream. A defender that sells himself so easily and if they get the first touch they leave him behind on the ground and have a chance to score.

He's great at last ditch challenges, but you can only win so many. A lot of them come about due to his bad judgement.

If he was 6ft 4, 16 stone & fast as fuck, it wouldn't be such a problem. But he isn't.

 

[Bluewonder]

Absolute dross yet again. No game reading ability, poor temperament, always in the wrong place. Awful.

 

[hobbsisablue]

They called it right on Sky. Alongside VK telling him what to do and when to do it, Ota looked OK. Alongside Kolarov in the 2nd half he was useless. He is just so predictable and makes it so easy for a on attacker to wait until Ota is on his arse.

Get rid

 

[MeatHunterrr]

He has to be 3rd or 4th choice CB next season, but can't be first choice.

 

[bondsman]

No better than mangala

 

[super_city_si]

He was a joke tonight. Never learns. Dives in to everything and more often than not misses leaving us wide open.

 

[blueonblue]

Get a f*cking grip guys, he certainly does not deserve the shite some on here pile on him, he`s been our best defender by a long f*cking way more than a few times this season, an he drives forward with the ball in possession rather than belt long balls or sideways an back, try watching the match again an see just how often he was involved in their half as well as covering the f*ck up we had playing left back.

 

[lazerblue]

Gash
