For the first 20 mins Bony repeatedly made a mess of his possession. It was noticeable that after this no City player wanted to pass to him; when he was available they turned away and moved the ball elsewhere. In effect City were playing with 10 men until Sterling came on. How was he allowed to stay on for so long?
No he didn't, at all. He did a lot of perfectly acceptable layoffs from fucking shite passes & lost the ball no more often than anyone else.
It's absolutely clear, that there is no plan whatsoever. Bony is a player who should be laying the ball off, playing one twos, central on the edge of & inside the box. If nobody has any instruction to pass, cross or basically do fucking anything whatsoever with him, WHY THE FUCK is he on the pitch ? WHY ?
We know how Bony plays, he's ripped us to fucking shreds doing it. So we signed him surely, to enable us to do something different, not be a shit version of Silva ?
What were the instructions given to him or Navas or the fullbacks or any **** on the fucking pitch that would make it a good thing having Bony up front? Was ANYONE at any time, looking to fire crosses at him ? WHY FUCKING NOT ? What else is he for ? Why are they trying to cross low, to fucking nobody ?
Did Pellegrini just pick him to make a **** out of him ?
We have about 10 players who would all be better than Bony, in the role Pellegrini is asking him to play. He has no purpose in this setup.
Pellegrini is a fucking terrible manager who is getting away with murder.
