Stats

Making his first league start for Rennes this evening and scores his first professional goal :blue scalf:

That was an anomaly with Mourinho tbh. One of the only good decisions he probably has made in the handling of a young player in his management career

He was the difference against Sevilla. That goal was the catalyst for them qualifying for the UCL. I call it an attitude problem with Mourinho if he constantly ignores young top players we have here. People can look for all criticisms of KDB they want but the stats speak for himself. Admitedlly he has not turned up in big games but it might be those 'small teams' games which may make the difference between City winnining the league and that is showing atm. Massive addition and like a lot of us guessed, us selling KDB has hit us back in the face hugely. Who to blame? Moruinho.

He is not behind Sterling in the pecking order. Why do you think that? And he seems to react pretty well. He still gets goals and assists for fun. Are people still questioning whether it was a good idea to let him go? Of course it was not. That simple. Especially when the man he declared as his no.10 has been overally poor. KDB has been worth the money. This is his first season at City, let's not forget that. Been worth the money. Has had some bad games but majority has been standout. We lost a star player. Simple as that.

LOL. You just don't like him as a player and are mad that all your posts before about Oscar being a better player has been proven to be rubbish. Maybe you should look at it another way and say if our other 'world class' players performed how they should and helped Willian, we might be doing better. Funny how since you always use to criticise him and he came back proving you wrong, you were not able to praise him but instead your next post is one to find an excuse for him playing well. Typical... But let me guess, you still think Oscar makes our team better when he plays? Not surprised.

We aren't Ajax. Even if we did sell Oscar, we would buy a replacement anyway.

That is the whole point. Even if the rumours with Barca are a bit far-fetched, loads of other top teams will be interested even if he is not that good yet, because they know how much potential he has. Pogba was surely not that good when he joined Juve as he too had a lack of first team action. Just look at him now.

That is why I think Christensen size is fine. He is improving every week and getting rave reviews at the age of 19. So I see know reason why it will affect him when he is older. He has got way too many qualities that make him a good all round defender. Pique is another defender that comes to mind who is very similar.

So is Stones tbh but his reading of the game is exceptional and has pace and both are good on the ball. Very similar characteristics.

Still not good enough for some people. It is not just the fact that he is scoring free kicks, he is generally our best player this season in open play by far. Yet, some feel we need to upgrade. It is the other star players in our team who need to upgrade and perform like Willian. He has been immense and thoroughly deserves his reported new contract.

I think Lukaku would have done a lot better than what Costa has done. For a start Costa has got bullied by a lot of defenders this season. He has not made runs he should be doing, has seemed to lost a lot of pace. Lukaku on the otherhand has been dominant in the air, has outmuscled defenders, outpaced defenders, showed great hold up ability, and has generally looked a complete all round striker. Costa has frequently gone down in the box when you are thinking 'just focus on scoring ffs'. While he has not had great service, he has generally been poor while Lukaku has been immense. KDB is no different to Hazard. They both are world beaters. Just because he has inconsistent games, that does not mean he is not a world beater. He is only 24, has accomplished great things at Wolfsburg and City already and considering this is his first season at City, he has done very well. Aguero is considered a world class striker. He has had more bad games for City than KDB has. But for me he still is one of the best strikers in Europe. Same applies about KDB.

I never tried to start an argument. I realised me and Pacquiao had a debate about Kane being a one season wonder. So I pointed out since the last time we debated on it, look how far Kane has progressed. I never wanted it to spiral in to him getting a ban nor did I think it would lead into that. However some of his posts on players he is not a fan of is laughable. The excuses he was coming up with over Kane, Costa etc. That is what me and him were arguing about. I did not want him to get banned though and in hindsight I feel bad for quoting him but it was not intended to get him drawn into anything and it was me who started this tbf to him. While I found some of his arguments ridiculous, I don't think he was actually trolling but it is amazing that he can never accept when he is wrong. That can be annoying, especially the petty squabbles which go no where but I never enjoy members getting banned. I am not actually im the bandwagon wanting him to be banned. If I had it my way, I would have it reversed because I find it harsh however Spike has said it is for an accumulation of things.

No. You are acting like your girlfriend cheated on you with him. How ironic. And my answer to that is sometimes, weird stats like that happen. You could see he was working hard for a goal and just needed that one to come in and now is scoring for fun. I always knew with Kane, that it was a case of form is temporary, class is permanent. He is a quality striker and you did make it look like he scored against crap teams. I pointed out that he has proven you wrong then you came up with ridiculous excuses about the calibre of teams he scored against yet he scored against big teams. What is your explantation for Costa scoring 1 in 10 for Spain now?

You are really confused. When people say Costa does not score against big teams, you use last season to show he did. EG Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs. Last season Kane scored against us and Arsenal with a total of 4 goals. He also scored against Liverpool. This season they have played 4 big teams. City, Arsenal and United. He got 2 in three of them yet he still has us to play home and away. He has United to play at home, City to play and Liverpool. How the fuck can you just make it look like he only scores against shit teams when he has clearly scored against big teams this season. You are embarrassing yourself really. Knowing you if Kane don't score against us, you will start your usual rubbish about him showing he can't do it second season against big teams (even though he scored against City and Arsenal) LOL and if he does score you then will come up with some other rubbish excuse. I am done. I can't beleive you. It would be nice for you just once to accept when you are wrong because like Lukaku, you are wrong with Kane.

He is so much in denial. He can't help himself. It is actually embarrassing that he makes stupid, ridiculous excuses for the likes of Lukaku and Kane everytime they score. Kane is proving his quality. Costa has been a massive disappointment this season. Bar Norwich, all his goals have been tap ins. He has not looked his same self, not making the same movements and is getting done what he should be doing to other defenders (bullying them). West Ham have been excellent this season and he tore them apart. Even if the other teams have not been of highest qualities, his finishing has. Can't stand people who can't accept they are wrong even if they know they are. Especially when they use double standards to defend the likes of Costa who only has 4 goals to his bloody name and just look at the calibre of the teams. Laughable, really.

Yet you are doing the same with Costa??? LOL Any person with half a head would actually realise by now that Kane is the real deal. It is not just his goals, it is his all round play. Yeah Hazard has not scored a goal from open play in over 20 matches? What do you have to say about that? Form is temporary, class is permanent. I can't believe you, really, you are unbelievable. Coming up with every excuses in the world. Costa has what 4 goals this season while Kane has 9 and your excuse for Kane is that it is against shit opponents? What does that say about Costa then? Stop being such a tool.

You never can admit when you are wrong. Costa scored 1 goal against a team fighting for relegation and you have caught a hard one over it. In fact Costa's only goals have been against shit teams. Fact. But you never cease to amaze me. Some people will do the honourable thing and admit when they are wrong. You, just won't. Kane will score 20+ goals but you still will come up with excuses. Costa's goals bar yesterday have all been tap ins. Kane has scored a whole variety of goals with his left and right and been excellent goals. Still trying to deny his quality. Keep it up And let's not talk about Lukaku. Still bangs the goals in but for you he will never be a at a big club because he is scared. Just LOL.

I knew you were going to end up having egg on your face for that comment Come on Pacquiao, you accepted he has proven you wrong now?

Just puree quality. Goals are coming easy for him now. A definition of a perfect all round striker. Any thoughts that he was a one season wonder has been put to bed for sure.

Why?? You do realise the group is not over? ... We have experienced players like Cahill on the bench and cover for FB. JCS and Aina should be playing for the U19 game in their UCL youth game instead of being called up.

TBH, I am actually shocked about what Lampard said. I thought KDB was awful yesterday. Lampard must of been watching another game. None of City's players turned up. I give constructive feedback. But let's not pretend he has been a standout player for them on a whole.

Azpi is obviously very consistent for us but games like this and Bournemouth coming up, I have no problem with Azpi being given the occasional rest tbh. Especially if it means having a more attack focused player at LB, Ideally, I would like Azpi at RB, but for games like today, I am fine with Ivanovic and Kenedy/Baba.

Well, although he should of scored more on Saturday, he still scored a great winner and there is no way Mourinho is going to drop him. He will want Costa to score in consecutive games and keep him fully in the mood for Spurs.

Was very good when he came on today. Has been good for Watford in general this season. Him coming on from the bench was probably because Holland U21 had couple international fixtures, otherwise he would have started. Really impressed and seeing the post-match reactions, Watford fans were very pleased with his contrubtion as well.

Christensen has come through the academy as well. Been at us since 15. So, I don't want us to Bertrand him.
