Would he play for any of the top teams in Europe or even our league? Then why is he playing for us?

Who the hell thought he was good enough for us?

one of our brilliant scouts it seems......

Not his best game today.

When I was in Portugal over the summer spoke to a local about him and he said will never be good enough for city. Very true.

 

[BLUE THUNDER]

He is complete rubbish. He was largely responsible for both our goals.
The first goal Shaqiri ran around him like a witches hat to get the cross in and the second goal he made him look like the clown he is by overcommiting. A defensive midfielder my arse. How Pellegring played him ahead of Delph is staggering.

Ha ha ha .
Probably the wind put him off his game .

That's a pretty one eyed view of their goals tbh. He did miss tackles on both goals, but the more damning thing is that even after Shaqiri had got past him, on both gals he still had our entire defence between him and goal. Unfortunately today, having our entire defence between you and goal doesn't mean a whole lot, as they were busy doing great impressions of traffic cones.

It's lucky that having a free run at our defence doesn't usually always end in a goal though, as allowing teams to do that is pretty much a hallmark of the Pellegrini era.

Thought I'd seen an improvement this season but nah, since utd he's been poor (Sivila away excepted).
Can't pass forward so when he's outnumbered in midfield so the ball is passed back putting our defence under pressure.

 

[Silva2021]

Awful game today after looking a bit better recently. The times he commited himself both lead to there goals and so today's result does fall on him.

Unless he finds form think we need to take a hit and sell in the summer.

 

[Balti]

I've never rated him tbh. Invisible mostly.

Actually what worse was how we bought him.


His contract was going to expire in 6 months and we were going to get him for free but he decided to renew his contract and we ended up paying 12million for Porto.

Stoke got Shaqiri for £12m, just for perspective.
