???? No big mistakes? What aside from giving the ball away every time he got it and not giving a **** the whole match? The bloke was a ****ing nightmare last night. Anyway yeah we got mangled, but didn't anyone except anything less? Sad as it is to admit, Man City operate in a different world to us, and even if the take over does go through it will take years to get to anywhere near their level.
The no big mistakes did make me laugh, I assume Tash must have fallen asleep when he created Man C's 5th goal with a lovely pass Honestly I can't remember a display quite like it. When he played the pass, you could see his shoulders and whole body sink. The body language screamed "floor please open up and swallow me, I'm making a right **** of myself here". So lazy and half hearted throughout, I'm not kidding when I give him a mark of 0.5. To be honest it might generous.
I've always been of the view that a player should get 1/10 for turning up, but after witnessing Bentaleb last night, I think I have to revise that. We would have literally been far better if he wasn't on the pitch and we just played with 10 men. So maybe when a player has such a negative effect on the team it deserves a negative mark? Aside from going around stabbing the rest of our team with a knife, I'm not sure how he could have had a worse game.
I agree with him.... was one of the better players... all were dreadful but no way he was the worst...
Comfortably the worst. Not even a competition. And there were plenty throwing their hat in the ring. One of the better players...get ****ed man you're just trying to say black is white for the sake of a rise please log in to view this image
Just humour him and agree Bentaleb was a world beater on Wednesday night. You can also placate him by saying that Manquillo is a genetically enhanced cyborg with superhuman powers sent back in time by Skynet to change football as we know it.
no I just think Ritchie or kraft was the worst player on the pitch that game don't talk to me like that mate I'm entitled to my opinion
But why? Ritchie and Kraft were just outplayed by better players, and both had off days. Bentaleb constantly passed the ball to the other team on the rare occasions he actually did anything. He either looked stoned out of his head, or on a kamakaze mission to make us let in more goals.
yedlin was worse too ??? so bentaleb was up against someone ****e was he?? tbh people said he played **** the game before and said he gave the ball away more than anyone, but he had completed 89% of his passes somewhere close to 42 .. .. people set about played just like manq... most fans can't even kick a ball let alone read a game.. and the previous game proved I read it right there are some that agree on this game btw . nobody had a good game man city outclassed the side end of.
That's an interesting stat, were those 89% of the passes he completed all to Man City players? Cos he seemed very adept at passing to them. And when he wasn't passing to them he was trudging round like a stoned zombie. No one's doubting they outclassed us, but they outclassed us when we played them at home earlier in the season and we still got a 2-2 cos of our effort. This time as well as the whole team being ****e we can Bentaleb playing for them in the 2% of the time he was awake.
Until such time as we have the players and a manager who can play high intensity football this will be exactly what we are served up week in week out. Some of the players we have currently at the club maybe able to play in this kind of way but they will need to get a whole lot fitter. Miggy and ASM are probably the only ones in my opinon. When we have the ball we are ****ing clueless with it, sideways and back to the keeper is about as much as we can manage, with the odd foray forward when the opportunity presents itself but 9 times out of 10 we get into the final third and we haven't a ****ing clue where to go next. Nobody making runs, nobody making space or moving for a pass......so it goes backwards. Even our corners and free kicks are woeful. When we manage to get it up off the deck and past the first man it invariably ends up, yes you guessed it....back at Dubgoalie. We have full backs and wingers who can neither run nor cross the ball...both in some cases. We have 4 strikers at the club who have 4 PL goals between them this season and I honestly couldn't tell you which one is our best one....they are all ****ing gash. There are a handful of players I'd keep at the club when the takeover happens and the new manager comes in. Longstaff Bros ASM Miggy Fernandez Schar Lejeune Dubgoalie Everyone else needs to be replaced and peddled as quickly as FFP will allow us to. Bruce has got very ****ing lucky this season with Miggy and ASM as well as our defenders pitching in with goals.....he'll come unstuck next season without a shadow of a doubt if he's still here. I sincerely hope he isn't.
firstly try reading the word previous up secondly we had no outlet in.this game.. no max no miggy we were at home and man city were wobbling at the time I've said my bit .. yedlin Ritchie and others were worse . I'm sick of players being singled out over the years ... even after a year plus of manq playing very well the dickheads that blamed him for everything are still after him or giving some back handed compliment rather than just say they were wrong about manq
I think it would be more humane to take him out the back and give him the old bolt gun to the temple. Once an animal has suffered such a drop in their abilities and is that lame, its cruel to keep them hanging on hoping they can get back. Its like alzheimer's - it only gets worse.
can't say I agree.. complete upheaval is always a disaster ...there's nothing wrong with the foundations of our established mid table side ... all that's required is 3 or top players added to the squad and a few young ens.. skim them off the very bottom and replace at the very top every window
Don't be such a ****ing snowflake, it doesn't suit you I won't be taking the knee for you either before you start Look Bentaleb was worst, simply as that. Its wrong to suggest anything else, and those doing so deserve to have their eyes sewn up in a proper creepy horror movie type fashion, simply for misuse. Kraft was as much use as a slice of plastic cheese though. And Ritchie did appear to have applied a generous helping of sticks like **** to his boots.
I didn't like the tone ... so I got hardball just in case it's all good mate .. I just don't think he was the worst and he did play well the game before and imo that's a fairer judgement than being up against city .. he's no world beater but none of our squad are much better bar 4 or 5 anyway.
My bad, misread it. OK he played decent in the game before, but to go from decent to all out dogshit is such a violent change that it can hardly be put down as an off day. Thats my problem with him, the attitude, we need committed players, not one's that play well one game and then just don't give a **** the next, that was the entire problem with the team last time he went down, with the attitudes of Sissoko, Colo, Gini etc. I'm singling Bentaleb out cos he deserved to be singled out, yes the whole team was dire, but he stood out.
ok mate we will have to wait until Watford and look fwd to Koulibaly , Cavani, Chiesa, fekir and others.. then we won't need to see poor players or average players ever again
