Trying to hard to impress

 

Not really no.

He was "selfish" in one occasion when he could have pass the ball to Ba. But the pass was complicated to do, so he kept the ball and searched a better position to give it. He lost it yes but it was well tried.

 

 

Agreed. Was more promising today, a bit like against Wigan but didn't get the ball enough. Still think that he needs to look for the pass faster, but he'll soon be there.

It took him a bit of time to get into the game but when he did he did what he had to do and helped kill time, nice to see him not try anything flash under the circumstances and play it safe.

 

He really should have played Ba in though instead of overdoing it as he was in plenty of space which was his only fault today.

If you look at the game again, you will see :

 

1- It was not an easy pass to make (even for him  :lol:)

2- He had the intention to find Ba

Surprised by the lack of pace to get away from the defender on that one run he had. But not concerned as he looked pretty quick still in his other cameos just didn't look particularly quick today for some reason.

The defender ? I thought they were 3.

It would have been hard to get it in to Ba's feet but that's not the pass he should be looking for, Ba wasn't only unmarked but he had loads of space to run in to if the ball was played in anywhere in front of him.

 

Once he'd side stepped the defender he could and should have played it through the other two defenders into that space.

Baggio on the pitch for City please.

Yeah man he did brilliantly to work the space and then when he got past the last guy (think it was jagielka) i was just expecting him to accelerate away but he got caught up and tackled. But like i said not to worry he was tidy when he came on.

Ok. It was the moment he hesitated for the pass.

best cameo of the season so far, some nice touches & dribbles and starting to look like the player he was, don't think he was excellent but he did his job ok.

 

Presuming Tiote, Cabaye & Marveaux are fit for the next game i still cant see where to fit him into the team, i really wouldn't want to start changing a winning team as it may upset the balance, plus when a team is winning you dont make major changes unless injury's dictate.

 

My cousin was also saying i hope he doesn't take the hump if he remains on the bench in the neaer future cause he does seem like that sort of player.

Yeah he did his job ok today thats what i mean, people giving him 7.5 rating though are a bit OTT.

That was the bit I was on about as well, clearly still lacking sharpness as this time last year I would have expected him to fly past Jagielka. Can't criticise him for today though, knew what his job was when he came on and stuck to it.

Why do you have to be a douche most of the time? Seriously, why can't you just limit your posting to the good stuff you actually post when you try?
