Player Topic: Nicolas Otamendi (2015/16)

Man of the Match for me last night but with that dive he's gone well down in my estimations. What a pussy!

With him and Sterling, that once proud 'no dive' ethos in the club is slowly disappearing.

Embarrassing. And such a shame as he was excellent lay night.

More like a belief in the heads of fans than anything else. Folks being diving here for years.

Played well but again like Mangala they had one man to mark between them. He's looked distinctly average against half decent teams

By half decent teams, you mean just Arsenal? Coz that's the only team above the one he just played well against.

How could anyone forget Micah Richards' embarrassing efforts.

Franny's career was built on it. The distasteful thing for me was pretending that he had been deliberately elbowed or hit. To me this is a little more serious and the club should have words.

He's a top class CB. Absolutely excellent.

Time to take off those blue tinted goggles. You have absolutely no idea what excellent and top class are if you are calling Otamendi this. Someone earlier referred to him as a 'beast'. I despair.

He has looked like an average quality PL centre back since he arrived and nothing more. Yet....fingers crossed both him and Mangala improve as time goes on.

Going down like a sack of spuds with no contact was just embarrassing.

Since when do defenders new to the country settle right in and play their best?
Patience

That's plain to see when his competition for that accolade is Magala or MDM. Doesn't mean he's done anything outstanding though yet.

Are you joking? He's been very good so far, what hasn't helped him is the erratic for of Mangala and Demichelis.

I don't need to take any specs off, I watch the game and from what I've seen he's a top CB, and has shown the qualities I saw last season when he was the best CB in La Liga.
