You like to use WhoScored stats. According to their ratings based on stats he was our 8th best player last night. Over the season an average of 6.61
No doubt he had a decent game last night. But “Again”

Yep - again. For me we seem to play better with him in the team. Very good on the ball and allows others to play..

Bit harsh. Cannot argue that their business model is to do that but they made europe and did not have the squad ito cope with it this season. They'll be back pushing for top 6-7 next season. Impressed with the young kid Barco last night. We were linked with him but they've took a punt on him. He won't be there long
That’s my entire point mate, you’ve just agreed with me- they don’t have the squad because the chairman has sold all their best players without replacing them.
The Barco kid was ours, but we were put off by “attitude problems” apparently.

Apparently if their managers goes to Bayern they want Komps. Will be interesting!

Would like to see Komps with the Brighton squad, I think he could have them performing just as well but would the Munchens take a punt on De Zerbi? They'll be hurting to spunk the league so there will be a shit load more pressure on the new boss. Could end up a good move for both. I rate this Barco kid, nothing wrong with calling Cavani a lazy bastard in my eyes. Imagine the shit the kid would give Nunes in training each day....

You’re usually correct with your takes, but I’m guessing this is fishing?
Kovacic started in both games against Arsenal this season - we didn’t play well in either.
Against your likes of Bournemouth, Brighton, Luton he’s okay to have in. Theres not been one “big” game that he’s played for us where we’ve been better for having him in the starting lineup, but happy to be corrected if you have examples? He started against Madrid away and got one of the lowest ratings for us.
Rico could play in his position and we wouldn’t notice a difference.

One is very good at putting pressure up front, creating space and less pressure on the midfield and defenders, however not a great finisher. Haaland needs to work harder to rediscover his all round form.

Its a nice problem to have. We can all see the differences in our game when we have Haaland in the team - or not. Said in the treble thread that Haaland cannot expect to start Sunday. He knows it after watching the overall team performance last night

What a very strange post to put in a city fans forum.
You think there's city fans squirming with hatred after alvarez scored?
Are you a bit tapped?
Bizarre

Carl blames everything on pep and has said he wants him out before.
He definitely does not like him at all.
I didn't see anyone hating alvarez.
But the bizarre part is suggesting any city fan was squirming with hatred after alvarez scored.
What a bellend

If we had to go back in time and pick a former striker for this team then 100% I’d go with Tevez. Would work his bollocks off and smash goals left and right in this team. I doubt Pep would be able to handle him doing fuck all in training though.
