Him and De Gea's error yesterday have cost me my winnings. I had both Manc clubs to win 2-0, so maybe not just down to him Bugger.
He's gone from 14s to 4-1 favourite for top scorer in the Premier League, talk about a knee-jerk reaction... I accept he was absolutely fantastic, but he came on against a tired Swansea team (hard work chasing Silva about all game) who were dispondent after just going a goal down. This is the Swansea who also lost 11 games away from home last season
He was absolutely brilliant tonight. Fair play to Swansea though, they played some good stuff and I'd far rather watch them than the anti-football garbage served up by Stoke tis weekend.
Aguero was tired too... At least according to Mancini he is. If that's him not fully fit, premier league defences will be ****ting themselves!
Big mention has got to go to Vorm as well, probably one of the best keeping performances to concede 4 goals
Maybe that's why Stoke have finished 11th, 12th and 13th in their opening Premier League years. Obviously we can't assume where Swansea will finish (I actually think they'll stay up), but they won't get anywhere near Stoke in the league. Home form will be key for the Swans this season
You see, this is my point about over inflated opinions of English players. People go on about Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard being world class when in reality they wouldnt get near the starting XI's of the world's best teams. Ive said it for years and anyone who can be arsed can trawl my messages - Rooney is THE most overrated player in the history of football.
I think the most overrataed player in the history is bit over the top, especially seen as its not just the English praising him...... I agree Swansea play good football, but there defending was awful tonight, why did Caulker look back at Aguero then continue to let him run and the ball go straight to him.... And i can't be the only one who thought Neville was pretty good tonight overrall, think the fact people dislike him because of what he was at United is blinding their views on this topic.
Bollocks. It's the popular English mentality to think your own players are ****, and you probably think you're in the minority with this view, but it's actually banded about quite a lot.
If he does it then it wont change a thing. I said it went he went 3 years without scoring a competitve game for England and I'll keep saying it until he dominates a major international tournament. And why does it take an established international and high performer in a major league ONE GAME over here for people to realise that he might actually be pretty good? It's not like we're talking about a new, unearthed talent here. Do people just not watch any other football outside the Premier League cos "if they arent here then they cant be any good"? Perhaps if they did they might realise just how f00kin' dull, sterile and defensive it is.
So which English players are in the top 3 in the world in their position? Ive said for years that Ashley Cole is the only one to come even close. And it's not slating home grown players, it's being honest. If Im wrong then tell me who is in the top 3 in the world?
It's the best league in the world pal. People haven't just realised that Aguero is pretty good - his performance tonight was outstanding. Had he done that for Atletico Madrid everyone would have been going mad, so this reaction isn't wholely down to him being in the PL. And on Rooney, if you maintain that he's overrated until he dominates an International tournament, you're basically saying you'll still think that he's overrated unless England win something - we've done that once in the last Century my friend. If he can convert his form from the 09/10 season into the next couple of seasons, he'll definitely be in the top 3 players in the world, no question
