I rarely come into this thread because Eddie has always been doing a good job. There aren’t any idiots on here who seriously want him replaced are there?
Maybe it was my ‘root for the underdog’ mentality but he was very good for City pre take over. Was very excited when we signed him and thought he’d be in our midfield for years to come. Probably ended up being one of the most disappointing signings we ever made, only had one good season for us and never became the 8-10 goal a season midfielder I thought he could be.
Not world class but thought Joey Barton would have a much better career than he did, same for Ross Barkley. There were times Ryan Babel looked really impressive but his career went all over the place.
I saw the France under something game(think it was against England) that convinced Man Und to buy Obertan and he was incredible. Thought it was the second coming of Ronaldo.
Feel like Martinelli gets the ball out wide a lot but refuses to take his man on. Couple rolls of the ball then passes backward. Where as Gordon can bring the ball inside or out, hold up, diags, just a better footballer.
My goal at the start of the season was top 7 and we looked and still kind of look on course for that. If we lose the next few games, I’ll take the season as a write off and just hope all the injured players can get back to full fitness and the the starting 11 lads can have a break.
We’ll be in and amongst come March-April when the likes of Villa, Brighton and West Ham have European knockout games to play.
