Until then get behind the lad
Still shit? He was excellent today, scored 2 assisted 1, should really have had another 3 assists what with Kelechi's wrongly disallowed goal and the two he put on a plate for Sterling in the second half.
I love how he drops deep pulling defenders out of position which opens up space for Sterling and Navas to run into. It's great to have that option in our attack, the variety we have keeps the opposition guessing.
That's the game I was watching.
Bony was far from excellent ffs. I "get" the getting behind the team shit but if you can't read real life what you're seeing criticism in a match thread then this isn't a place for you. Some people need to get their blue tinted specs off and just have a conversation without getting their fucking patriotic club genes all offended and bothered.
Bony won't cut it against great teams unless he steps it up. He will know that much about today better than any of us. I promise you that.
And I 1000% support every city player. But it doesn't mean I can't write what I'm seeing and share an opinion.
Cheers
His finishing, wasnt excellent but his game grew and grew. And what he brings has been pointed out by others, so I won't go on about it.
No doubt we'll play better teams than Bournemouth but if Bony is in the team we have to put out, then so be it.
He's no Aguero, but we don't have Aguero available, so we need to get over it.
Bony played a lot better than the amount of criticism that he got on here suggests.
Sterling missed easier chances and they were set up by Bony. We're off his back now though because he got a hatrick and generally played very well.
We all have our opinions. I thought Otamendi was kak, but got away with it against this opposition. Nobody was on his back.
Heat of the moment we sometimes post stuff that's OTT. Fair enough, but I don't think I was looking at that match with Blue tinted glasses on. I think FIBD's assessment is accurate, if you are pinpointing just one player's performance.
I'd guess others would agree.
Hopefully Bony will get his act together sufficiently and quick enough to come up to your expectations Doomie, but one thing's for sure, he improved and grew in confidence in the second half. I'm just glad he couldn't hear you shouting at the TV, about how shite he is.
