The players weren't sure about him when he first joined City. Then he banged a brace on his debut and the rest was history. Guess it's a bit different for a defender though. Gary Speed says on one of our DVDs how first day of training they were all looking at Nobby Solano thinking who they hell we just signed, but didn't take long to realise it was just nerves and he was class.

Do miss chanting ‘Howay the toon!’ though (usually with an exasperated pleading tone!). Which possibly paved the way for whole Toon Army tag. Aye toons is cringeworthy as fuck Add in those that say yanited as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Didn't have much to do in terms of defending Tbf. We very much dominated the second half (as we should do), but he looked good on the ball with a couple of nice passes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 He looked alright, solid and with a decent touch and passing range. I did find it amusing how his first attempted pass was an easy 10 yarder, and he kicked it straight out of play mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong man to man—someone who muscled past Burn first half (and got a shot in) just bounced off him in the second. Some hints of passing ability/progressive and another reason Shelvey doesn’t have to drop so deep to pick up the ball. Promising start, quality of opposition, acknowledged.

Randomly watching a Tifo video about PSG & Gaultier now. They've referred to Lille's central defence as "Jose Fonte is old and Sven Botman is a slow player". I came to that same conclusion via Youtube. Interesting that Lille used a medium/low block and played conservative football. With Botman a cornerstone of our side, will we look to do the same?

McCormick Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 We may have to tbh. Our entire backline looks solid but not particularly quick (Trippier seems a yard slower after his injury too). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
