His contract extension is one of the worst signings in our modern history.

 

As shit as he was against Watford, he was our best player vs Man Utd and Arsenal!

 

I look forward to posting on here after his hat-trick and our clean sheet tomorrow  :D

So he's great in games where we sit deep with a midfield camped in front of him for 90 minutes and where nothing is expected of him or the team.  Shit the rest of the time?

He's been on the decline for years and is extremely unreliable. It's embarrassing that he's still our captain after all that has gone on in the last couple of years. Any other club in the country would have replaced him sharpish yet we've extended his contract. It's blatant stupidity and tells you all you need to know about McClaren's judgement (sadly) if he made the call.

Did better than expected today, I thought Remy's pace might fuck him over but coped ok. When he got radgy at Mbabu getting wiped out at the end and went to protect his younger player I thought he actually almost looked like a proper captain for the first time ever.

yeah honestly expected remy to destroy him but he looked a shadow of the player we had

According to WhoScored, he has the second lowest average match rating of any player who has played every match this season. Only Ivanovic is lower.

 

I don't know if that really means anything, but I do think he's one of the main reasons for our problems - both as captain and as a player.

Mate and I watched all the goals again and he was at fault for a majority of them. He gets caught ball-watching over and over again, and if Aguero has just scored 4 fucking goals on your ass, why would you not mark him and let him gingerly score another tap-in?

Yep, and look at older, more intelligent defenders in Italy. They have distinguished, long careers because they know that even though they've lost a yard of pace, their reading of the game improves like wine over time. They can cut out threats before they even begin, and are in control of the entire backline. Colo seems to no longer have the physique or the mentality to cope at this level anymore.

Colo was at fault for "the majority of them"?

 

1 - Mbabu didn't track Fernandinho when Silva dinked it towards the back post - Janmaat was marking Aguero and didn't track him - well worked goal

2 - Mbemba awful pass

3 - Janmaat was yards behind the rest of the line (this has happened for a few goals lately) - Aguero spun off Mbemba (who probably thought he was offside) and finished superbly - well worked goal

4 - Gouffran didn't track de Bruyne

5 - Aguero skipped-by Mbemba and finished superbly

6 - Aguero got in-between Colo and Lascellas to tap in

 

Aguero was world class and sometimes you have to accept that he was far too good for our defenders to handle!
