If that's correct and i will assume it is, it cements my opinion that the others dont trust him and dont rate him either as we are a possession based side, especially at home and he is just being ignored with the game passing him by.
Can't believe I hear people saying " he did what he was supposed to do" if his job is to score like a striker then no he fucking didn't do what he had to doThat's a disservice to shit.
"Or he gets no service" .. Well where is he when we are attacking in the box and waiting to lay off a pass ? ...oh that's right he's still lumbering up towards the halfway line dragging his fat Arse behind him.
"He holds the ball up" .. Errr no he fucking doesn't, he gets tied up in knots, falls on his Arse and loses possession
"Nobody will pass to him" .. It's because everyone on that pitch knows he's shit and will bottle it. It's no good waving your hands about, like you are in a great position to score ! Your not and everyone knows it.
Almost 30m on this guy and to think we let Dzeko just swan off to Roma on the cheap. I think he's even scored this year
Good win though

Was told after the game by a member of the management team that kun had a kick to his heel and they were hopeful he would be OK for tuesday
I kept telling myself as long as we get the 3 points I don't really care if we played badly or not. But bloody hell that was very poor for 60 mins. Gotta feel for bony. He shows no confidence and I don't even think he knows what to do in our system and the way we play. He's not shit. He's a proven premier league striker but alas we just aren't set up to suit his game. He really shouldn't start for us and kelechi should be getting some game time.
Nasri had a great game. He's carrying some timber just like me but his movement and passing and interplay was fantastic. That game should do him the world of good.
Being hyper critical here but I fail to see what kind of structure we play with. It's slow and possession based and it looks like we rely on Sergio to get us the goals. I like navas work rate and he's a likeable guy but he's so lacking in quality when it matters.
Delph and fernando did OK but quite a few times in the first half especially when we attacked we had Sergio, bony, navas, Delph, fernando and kolorov all so high up the pitch there was a huge gap between our midfield and the defense. We are so wide open its unreal. It's basic football though. If one midfielder goes forward then the other needs to sit in. It's incredible how many goals are scored against us from our own naievity and poor play and individual errors. Either the players are thick or they are just told go out on the pitch and do their stuff without any thought or homework done against the opposition.
On the plus side. KDB is the real deal :-)

Not a great performance but I couldn't give 2 shits. This is the business end of the season now and all that matters are 3 points and making sure that we finish in the top 3/4.
The change will come in the summer, I just hope the current squad has it in them to get us over the line.
Given how poor we have been, and we really have been, a top 3 finish, a semi final in the CL and a trophy in the bank is not to be sniffed at. I agree that there should have been so much more and some of the kids should have been given better game time in a squad that has been totally decimated by injury and has had a number of players bang out of form.

Will that be a retrospective ban for that vicious tackle on Aguero?
