Nicolas Otamendi - 2016/17 performances

[Mike N]

Got out muscled for the first goal and then tried to pretend he had been fouled. Terrible .

 

[Saddleworth2]

Best defender we had on pitch today

His defending for their first two goals was worse than useless. Costa must have been pissing his pants laughing. They targeted Otamendi a number of times with that long ball over the top. Time Pep gave the young lad Adarabayo? a chance - Martin Samuel commented in the fail this morning that Pep has not asked for a new CB in January.

Best defender we had on pitch today

Yep - motm

 

[Manc in London]

I cannot bare watching him play. He gets caught under the ball and wrong side of the attacker so many times. Our worst defender, imo

 

[meeesh]

Yep - motm

Transfer window it is then,may as well go with your idea eh ?

 

[BigOscar]

Same mistakes every fucking time. Commits himself every single time, all of nothing defending when there is absolutely no need for it. Far too easily bullied for a player who wants to try and win everything as well.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Transfer window it is then,may as well go with your idea eh ?

No - have it your way and stick with him.

 

[meeesh]

No - have it your way and stick with him.

No we will go with your idea,keeper,4 defenders,and a striker should suffice

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Which wasnt my idea.
I insist keep him - I'll rewatch it and apologise.

I'm thinking of what you said in the Guardiola thread,to help you along,he had 1 in the summer by the way,but I like your thinking,especially 1 coming up next month,should be a good month,how much will we chuck at the problem ?

I intimated we needed 3 defenders but you've added another, a keeper and a striker. I like the buys last summer so fingers crossed for future windows.

 

[super_city_si]

Joke of a defender. Has the ability to be great. Needs a serious bollocking and some actual fucking coaching.

 

[Goater=Legend]

That first goal was tragic. He should of committed himself and headed it, instead he shit it and let Costa chest it down.

The second was just laughable by him, no discipline whatsoever

 

[jaiguruKun]

Awful signing. Would rather we'd have kept Mangala. Needs selling in January.

 

[TFC]

He's weak as piss in a position where a huge asset is to be strong. Wet lettuce.

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

Probably had half a dozen good games in 1 1/2 seasons

Too rash , too small and just not good enough

We need to get the next raft of centre back signings right cos he won't be here next season

 

[CityFan94]

Too rash, too small, not commanding, just not good enough for our level.

Replace him with Van Dijk in January.

Yeah that lad Van Dijk looks like he's a player we could benefit from having in the team. Wouldn't mind him but it'd have to be in the summer...you just know it. Can't seem saints selling him midway through a decent season for them.

So size does matter after all, eh?

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

It does in the premier league , we are in danger of becoming the new Arsenal, lovely ball players but no bite and physicality
