He is now the defender that we signed, the one hailed as the best defender in la liga. I just think the extra pace and directness of Prem teams took him a bit of time to adjust to, plus now we play like a great Spanish team

 

[Manc in London]

Has been excellent of late. To be honest, I didn't think he had it in him.

Nicolás Otamendi: Completed 142 passes against Bournemouth, the most by a Premier League player in a game this season

 

[scousemanc]

He has always been a good tackler and won headers, but there's more to his game now, more authority

 

[the plasterer]

brilliant defender when faced with a 1 on 1, wins the ball more times than not, motm for me today, having a brilliant season

And on all those occasions I was there to back up your accurate claim. :)

That you were, that you were! Gonna keep saying it till he gets the recognition he deserves for this on here. Glad to have your support!

I’m a fucking idiot without a doubt but on this one I nailed it. Watch him somehow miss out on the PL team of the year.

Have a feeling Real Madrid are going to try and target both him and Kun in the summer.

Simply brilliant, defensively he’s a monster on the front foot now he’s got the midfield pressing and a goalkeeper willing to take charge of anything put in behind him.

The one surprise for me is his control in possession and his attitude to always want to get on the ball, I always knew he was good but it’s like he’s just grown in confidence even more this season.
