......I thought Bony wasn't THAT bad!

 

[blue by birth]

Sorry mate but Bony wouldn't score in a fucking brothel. He slows down the attack and has no movement.
To put it in a nutshell he's a waste of space. Kelechi is a much better fit with Kun and finds space freeing up room for Kun to exploit.

I know it's popular to hate him but thought Kolarov was brilliant today.

Sweating over Aguero's knock. Season depends on it.

Thought he was mostly brainless with his decisions. But at least he seemed engaged.

Once again he selects a 4-4-2 and a vastly inferior team is allowed to control possession and the pattern of play against us. Don't think Kelechi would have been helped if he'd started ahead of Bony with that formation. Having said that, for whatever reason, Bony just does not fit our style and it is better for all sides if he is sold in the summer. Kelechi has so much more in his locker but his confidence must be dented at repeatedly not being giving a decent amount of game time. Pellegrini clearly does not trust youth - see Denayer and Patrick Roberts for added proof. Kolarov was great going forward but exposed defensively. Zabba had a shocking first half. I blame him for not trying to stop the cross for the first goal. Hart gave everyone more nervous moments and seems to punch everything these days - but he is neither convincing not intelligent as to where he punches it to. Left Aguero on way too long and he must be a slight doubt for Tuesday. Pep has an enormous task on his hands on the evidence of this season. Nasri deservedly motm.

Well, 63% possession in the 1st half disagrees with you, but why let that get in the way of your claim.

Very poor performance yet again but happy as Larry with the 3 points.

Kolarov can't defend for love nor money, he doesn't even attempt to challenge for the ball or block the cross. For such a big **** and faux hard man he seems shit scared of getting hit by the ball. I'm sure he wears steel toe cap boots with studs.

Mangala - someone just needs to spend the whole summer drilling balls at him to control and pass. I like him as a defender but he scares me more when he has the ball at his feet. It's like he's scared he's not got the technical ability to take a touch and play, which he hasn't but it can be worked on.

Fernando just fuck off, tries hard but my god is he shit. I genuinely believe I've got a better first touch and awareness.

Bony just fuck off even further than Fernando, can't believe he's the same player we saw at Swansea.

Nasri - brilliant return, MOTM and can't wait to see him in a Pep team. Great sliding tackle in the centre circle late on too.

KDB - World class, we are very lucky to have him. Touch, awareness, passing, work rate and plays at such an intensity and speed it looks like someone has created a player on the playstation he's that good.

Spent the first few minutes under the dryer in the toilet trying to dry off a bit after getting soaked on the way there.

Don't know who was worse today , Bony or Metrolink. At least I'm used to being let down by Bony.

 

[rushts]

When the ball was played up to him he held it up under pressuree and passed it on.

Mate, seriously. I know you think he had a good game and tried hard, but that 1 thing you keep mentioning was the only thing he did all game. The incident when he had the ball in the middle of the park just before half time and just booted it out for a throw in was devastating. People around me were laughing at the poor fucker.

Didn't seem anything like that during the game. Felt like we were playing counter attack v WBA at home - especially first half. We looked overrun in midfield but 3 points is the main thing.

Good god this this this. He is a joke.

I'm still laughing at that now. If I didn't laugh I d cry.

Just like most of the matches this season, very poor fare.
