I heard city had only two players that played against crystal palace under 29 years old and kompany turns 29 on Friday.... In two years they'll need serious surgery

Muller is a striker /forward while KDB is an attacking midfielder, so obviously strikers normally have below 80% but not midfielders. I'll obviously love some risky passes as long as we can press and collect it back when the pass is poor. But compared to midfielders in top teams in the Champions League, I'm struggling to remember who has below 80% possession (75% to be exact)

Are we desperate to get a homegrown player

Taxes And change

This is the performance we were talking about

I watched the match and Neymar was terrible. I said in some other thread that cuadrado performance against Stoke was better than this Neymar performance. I don't think hazard can play that poor.Once Neymar doesn't get those cheap freekicks he used to get, he loses possession too much.

I'm I the only one who doesn't like that he has below 80% passes completed?? It starts to get ugly when all those risky passes keep getting misplaced for long match spells

How do the newcastle fans feel now? They drove away a good manager and it has exposed how shit they actually are

one of the Mourinho quotes of the season

From outside the box.... Damn

Aguero shot from outside the box hits the bar...

I just saw your quote We've been slightly worse this season against big teams compared to last, more draws than wins, probably because of being less defensively solid. I saw us play the best against Liverpool in the carling cup after terry injured fabregas. I don't want fabregas in the pivot for big games, I'll rather he didn't play than that. Saying that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the way he's made us win so many small teams we struggled to win last season.

Like you said, Oscar's biggest strength was his high energetic tackles. We all knew he wasn't as good as Mata or KdB creatively but all of a sudden he can't put a tackle again. He won favor behind the striker because he gave defensive balance to the team compared to the others but he doesn't even offer that anymore. I just don't get why he seems so fatigued once again.

The right wing has become the new pivot

Neymar being too light to hold off a defender with the ball is a fact. He falls under any slight contact and in the epl they won't give a foul just like cuadrado has realized. Neymar is better in other aspects except this. I don't know why its hard for you to understand what I mean?

Woow!!! That's a strong statement. It almost sounds like he's indirectly saying he's not good enough for us

I'm just comparing his performance today to Cuadrado against Stoke... Nothing wrong there I'm not saying cuadrado is on his level, I just said they both have this ability to lose the ball easily because they're too light and can't protect the ball from defenders with their backs in tight spaces.

Neymar today was even worse than cuadrado against Stoke. He has the same ability of being terrible at holding the ball with their backs to the defender because he's too lightlike cuadrado. They both need to hit the gym....

Its a shame someone of his level will score more goals for Brazil than a phenomenon like Ronaldo... And people who just look at stats will even compare him to Pele because of goals

If people watched Neymar against celta vigo today, they'll consider cuadrado world-class compared to today's performance

Neymar lost the ball every second, it was shocking to see.

I actually wouldn't mind if fabregas got a yellow. I want to see us play without him in a big game to confirm something...

I'm watching Barcelona vs celta vigo and Neymar is playing worse than cuadrado. He can't shield the ball and he's passing so poorly. People that have no strength to protect the ball have a huge weakness

So bad of late. Last season he could still get 5 tackles even when he didnt play well but now he shows no energy defensively too. He could be sold at this rate if he's not careful

We don't like to shoot from distance. We want to only shoot in the 6 yard box. Annoying formal arsenal behavior we have developed
