I'm sorry but he was complete shite against the rags. Played them all onside for the free kick, was constantly out of position, just chases after whoever has the ball. He has all the physical attributes but I am getting really worried he doesn't have the brain needed to be a good CB. All that money spent on him as well.
 
Not the game to criticism him, he came into a game where his team were already playing terrible and not showing any desire. We need to start him for the remaining games, we've not used him enough this season and we've probably harmed his development more than anything.
 
No point picking on Mangala today. The way this side has gone downhill this season is far bigger than him. I feel sorry for some of the newer players, must be wondering what the fook is going on at this club.
 
Something is seriously wrong when we spend over £30M on a CB & he isn't starting. He doesn't even get to start over a half fit VK. Either he is shit & whoever scouted him has no clue what they are doing or the manager knows fuck all. I suspect it's a bit of both!
 
Headless chicken. 24 yr old who plays like a 12 yr old

Can he be coached into an intelligent CB? I have my doubts.

French Micah Richards written all over him
 
Literally the only one who looked bothered. Yes he charges around a bit when he's trying to get us back in the game, but he at least has the right attitude. A few more looking that bothered would have been lovely. The 4th goal is on him, but hardly surprising when you consider he's never been given a chance to settle in the system. When things are going wrong he tries too hard, which stands out like a sore thumb when no one else is trying hard enough

Nail on the head.

He needs a run of games so an INFORMED opinion can be formed. Still too soon for people to damn him the way they are.
 
Should have started with vinny clearly not fit
At least he will get the last few games with demi now vinny is inj again,lets see how he does then
 
How can people have a pop at him today? Besides the 4th goal granted he hasn't fucking played for that long due to pellegrini picking his fucking mate ie MDM! No longer he looks short on confidence and how can he be expected to seamlessly come in to a team that has completely lost it!
