Player Topic: Eliaquim Mangala (2015/16)

I'm telling you all he'll come good.
How about we get behind him and give him the support all City players should be getting?
And please don't all sit there and pretend like we've given him enough time, the vast majoirty of you on here have used him as a scapegoat since he joined.

But what about this season ? We have a C/L campaign and a league to win THIS SEASON not in 3 seasons time !!

Nope. Just needs to be coached properly
There's a good defender in there waiting to get out

Correct.

It's his absolute lack of composure under any amount of pressure that is stopping him from being successful.. Playing next to Kolarov can't help

what about Otamendi then? Deeney caused us the most problems today and Otamendi was his man. Mangala was given a tough time in tough conditions against the in form striker in the league, i'm not suggesting he was great but Ighalo didn't get a sniff until either Otamendi was marking him or Mangala went off.

Mangala will come good when we get a competent manager. Has all the attributes he just needs some man management.

So people keep saying. I don't think he will. How many times does he mistime his jump and the ball lands over his head. I don't think Otamendi is fantastic either.

The defence ends sorting because it isn't good enough, the first 25 minutes were an absolute shambles.

Really tough game for him needs to put his foot through the ball more for me until he learns how to pass proper! Also needs to man up a bit for the size of him!

I'm not going to criticise any of our defenders as individuals until they have a proper manager managing them.

Simple things are difficult but if the 6 in front did their jobs it would take the pressure off.

Nobody mentioning his nice touch and inch perfect pass to KDB on the left wing then??? Thought he did alright and that was a foul on him before their corner. As for the sky commentary singling him out for giving that corner away, I thought was fucking disgraceful... 3 huge points anyway so fuck anyone who is against us

So what do you suggest mate? Kompany is Injured, Demi is old, Denayer is on loan till the end of the season & even if he was here what would stop the lot of you clawing for his throat over any/every mistake? The fact of the matter is we're where we are with the help of Mangala, why not give him the opportunity and the backing to take us the rest of the way?

 

[Goater=Legend]

He just does the basics wrong which is still worrying two years on of being here.
