Player Topic: Eliaquim Mangala (2015/16)

[The Blue]

I'm not so much annoyed at Mangala as i am with the decision to let Denayer go out on loan.

 

[We're not really here]

The one that bounced over his head got me. It was like watching a kid play.

I was saying it live, as it was developing.

Pass to fucking Fernandinho, he was in acres in the centre circle, take a touch, pop the ball off and Fern's carrying the ball and we're hitting Arsenal on the break.

Instead the daft little fuck takes a shit first touch, panics from a little pressure, and plays it back to an under pressure Mangala - who tries to pick out the pass Delph should've but just executes it fucking terribly.

Delph deserves even more flak IMO, as he put us under unnecessary pressure with dogshit centre mid play.

Doesn't belong at this level IMO.

As we have already said Delph is as much to blame if not more than mangala,but it also seems to happen all to easy against us in other games...

Still having a better season than the captain which in itself tells a story.

vinny contributes more than mangala when he is sat on the bench , in fact i contribute more than mangala in block 201

Mangala really hasn't shown anything like enough ability, or promise, to be worth the money spent. You have to think that, come the summer, he could well see himself being shopped around to other clubs. 2 years is enough time to see if he's "got it", he's 25 in February so if he was going to be a top quality defender he'd have shown it by now.

Please get this joker out of my club.

Anyone know if he and otamendi partnered eachother at the back for Porto? If so, surely it wasn't as bad as it is know. It's just dismal, almost guaranteed 1/2 goals per game for opponents

 

[bluwes]

Losing hope, but I wouldn't write him off at the moment.

He's a fucking liability at present, but a lot of that is down to Pellegrini IMO. We're a shambles at the back, low on confidence, poorly organised and have little to no cover in midfield.

He has the raw materials, if Pep does come and he can't get it out of him then he needs fucking off.

Delph on the other hand, isn't good enough regardless.

He was just as culpable in that second goal as Mangala was.

Zinadine Zidan could have controlled that ball

 

[City_Sean]

He's not good enough, but Delph was a fucking imbecile giving him the ball in a dangerous position.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

If you can't control a football and make simple passes it doesn't matter who is in charge or what system we play. Can't believe I'm typing this about a £32m footballer
