I can guarantee I've never moaned at Sergio. And I doubt you'll find a proper City fan that did. The guy could get a goal from absolutely nothing. Didn't stop running. But was very unlucky with injuries.

He'd run through a brick wall for City. Haaland against Sunderland wouldn't have ran through a wall made out of wet shit for us

You did. I did. He missed chances. Maybe less than most, but of course he did. To pretend otherwise is just ridiculous

When you say that we moaned about them all, find a post where I moaned about Kolarov and I'll give you £100000000

Sergio was a king amongst strikers. Sure he had bad games but i always thought he tried. Didn;t get on too well when Pep told him to defend more and chase back, but does Pep say the same thing to Haaland? Quite a few times yesterday Haaland's runs were missed , and at times a pass was attempted to him but it should have gone to others. We compress ourselves far too much against defensive teams and we seem to just want to work it out sideways for a cross that is easy to defend and harder to pick out our forwards.
Sergio was the best we have had , never slagged him off. In the same vein , Denis Tueart, Francis Lee, Uwe Rosler. I liked Balotelli more than Haaland and he was mad as a box of frogs and was probably much lazier in reality
