I'd vote for the referee if I could for blowing the final whistle and putting us and the rest of the country out of our misery :-)

Silva getting 40 votes blows my fucking mind

Nunes played well likely better than anyone and as you said has improved in his role- what are you on about putting yet another player out of position there especially when we are short of cover in his natural position already.

I hear what you are saying

But it not really a big ask for a Right sided Centre Back to play Right Back, IMO :0)

More tricky for Nunes to play RB,every week.

And as much as he maybe improving in this position, I don’t wish the experiment to continue for too long!! :0(

That’s what I think:0)

City have a history of playing natural attacking (or defensive) midfield players at full back. Bobby Kennedy under McDowall, Poyser, and Mercer often filled in at full back. Then Glyn Pardoe was converted from a forward into a full back by Mercer and remained there for the rest of his career.

More recently Fabian Delph, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Rico Lewis, and Nico O'Reilly have been used similarly. None of the above have been conventional full backs and would usually revert to central midfield when City had possession.

Can’t comment on the quality of the players from the last century :0)

Yeah, but have any of the 21st Century players mentioned actually been any good at DEFENDING??!!

IMO, No & None!!

Therefore it only works so far and fails against any half decent team, and we have seen a few defensive failures this season!!

Unfortunately :0(
