HK85 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I liked it when he lost the ball and went down with a scream to try and get a freekick just before Mahrez got his one on the edge. Stones is streets ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it's hard at first when you make the step up to the Premier League, hopefully he will get used to the speed and physicality and being exposed with our attacking style ..he looked like a Mangala today, maybe he just had a bad game, to soon to tell yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Letting Vardy get his shot off was probably the least bad mistake out of the 3 or 4 that led to the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember who it was. Then there's De Bruyne who attempted to tackle Vardy but didn't really get close. Laporte's mistake was the nail in the coffin so to speak. Being left one on one with a player like Vardy isn't the ideal scenario. All the blame can't be put on the new guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all the blame but you don't expect shocking defending like that for a player who cost 50 million ...if Kompany had of played, at best you would of had a free kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not shocking defending, it's an error which needs to be polished off but I will say this which goes back to my original post in reference to this particular signing. He needs to be led at the back to get the best out of him and Stones isn't a leader at all and infact suffers from the same as Laporte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said, it's a new league and he will be far more exposed in a team like ours so not judging him yet, just saying it was really bad defending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to get into the semantics of comparisons because it's boring. But just to say that I've always gone on about how clubs sign players and how it goes with a side you've already got. In Guardiola's case he's building something in the image he wants the game to be played and that takes time which in many cases is already being observed. But in the same manner Bravo collapsed, the same can happen here again because of the background wishing for it to fail and jump on the slightest error... From there you get a loss of confidence and then a disaster. I know you wasn't judging him. I know exactly what you were doing mate but I just wanted you to type it down.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted April 1, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted April 1, 2018 He looked a bit frazzled by Walcott at times early on but overall City could have put Stevie Wonder at left back yesterday and not been seriously threatened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
