He has been really off the pace this season just when he needs to be stepping up as our other centre backs get older and we still do not have a specialist leg back. It's a shame because I honestly thought he had the most potential to develop of all our defenders.I am becoming increasingly concerned about Gvardiol. His wayward passing is gifting counter attacks on a regular basis. We could have conceded 2 tonight as a result of his very poor distribution attempts.
Not sure I would trust him against the very best for this reason.
He's solid as a central defender and good in the opposition box but I just don't trust him in possession.
Yeah ,he seems to have plenty of potential to be one of the best ,but until he gets rid of those mistakes he makes in every single game ,he won´t be in the very top of centre backs.He has been really off the pace this season just when he needs to be stepping up as our other centre backs get older and we still do not have a specialist leg back.

Savinho reminds me of Sterling with his shooting technique. He can't keep his head still and he slashes wildly at the ball. He needs to slow down in the moment. City coaches worked relentlessy to improve Sterling and it worked for one season but the next year he reverted to type. It's all in the head, like a golfer with the yips.Very good down our right last night, mainly due to the resurgence of a certain Nunez. Savinho had his best game in quite a while but there's still so much there with him. If he could only shoot either side of the keeper. The left side was well off last night, I like to see Gvardiol play centrally. Doku wasn't at the races and hasn't for the his last few games(after showing top form before) Lots been said about our drop off in the second half, but we're still getting up to top fitness, played on Saturday and Gonzo going off when he did didn't help. There were many positives. The way we started was probably the best of any game this season and our press was fantastic! Couldn't keep that going but we had the chances to put the game to bed(again) so a drop off was always going to be on the cards. Haaland keeping his run going(although he should of had a hatrick) and we got minutes into players coming back from injury. It wasn't pretty at times, far from perfect, but we got what we went for and it was another game chalked off to regain our fitness. That'll do!

Wasn't that Eric Bristow? Haha. Yes, I can see a similar pattern to Sterling but Raheem was absolutely goal crazy compared to this kid. We can all see he's got it, it just how much does he want it.Savinho reminds me of Sterling with his shooting technique. He can't keep his head still and he slashes wildly at the ball.

Same barber as Kova ;-)What’s Joleon done to his barnet?
Stones used to make a lot of mistakes but cut it out and ended up being world class. I hope our coaches can do the same with Gvardiol.Yeah ,he seems to have plenty of potential to be one of the best ,but until he gets rid of those mistakes he makes in every single game ,he won´t be in the very top of centre backs.
Got you - but think you need a new Laptop...and yes, other than a bit of clapping - the home fans were shite (but very friendly)Wasnt talking about our fans
in general the stadium and their fans in particular were pretty quiet
Who was it - what did she say? I’m guessing Lucy Ward? I’m out of the country so haven’t watched on TNT.Fucking woman and her shit talk on TNT - they would never talk that way about dippers or rags - they hate it when we win
A bit harsh that - albeit your opinion. Not every player can be superb non-stop. A long way to go.He has been really off the pace this season just when he needs to be stepping up as our other centre backs get older and we still do not have a specialist leg back.

Did they run down the quality of Liverpool’s opponents? Doubt it.Listening to McPointy and the other TNT commentators run down the quality of the opposition was laughable - not City good just Villareal bad - they are 3rd in La Liga and haven't lost at home for over a year.
Cos he played for the ragsI like Reshmin, her delivery is kind of an odd mix of say Garth Crooks and Emily Maitlis. She’s wasted on idle football chit chat with dull as ditchwater pundits. And to be fair to her, the editorial position doesn’t come from her, she’s just the highly polished deliverer of the message.
The real question here is how the fuck does Owen Hargreaves get any work at all
Perhaps he should retire?He has been really off the pace this season just when he needs to be stepping up as our other centre backs get older and we still do not have a specialist leg back. It's a shame because I honestly thought he had the most potential to develop of all our defenders.
Glad someone who was there confirms VR were quiet; I made that observation on the atmosphere thread and was told I was deaf and talking shite!Got you - but think you need a new Laptop...and yes, other than a bit of clapping - the home fans were shite (but very friendly)
Don’t disagree. I hope it is just a blip.A bit harsh that - albeit your opinion. Not every player can be superb non-stop. A long way to go.
