So Pep cant drop Laporte and Otamendi for Fernandinho

But he can drop Stones

Yet you open your cavernous mouth to say this:


On a scale of one to ten, you rank an 11 for Stupidity, that username is no coincidence

So your sample size that place fernandinho above stones is one match out of the 50matches man city played last season.
You keep showing your ignorance and so far up your own ass you think you've actually said something sensible . So if pep start sterling as a 9 in a match and keep Gabriel on the bench that automatically means sterling is now ahead of Gabriel in the picking order in that position? . You haven't told us why pep started Stones against Liverpool Twice and the ball playing centre backs better than Stones in the league

nihilistjnr:
Fernandinho was the furthest player up the pitch but had fewer touches than Otamendi.

Fernandinho is the furthest player up the pitch but barely entered centre circle unlike Otamendi.

All this is actually incidental anyway, because you have still failed to explain why it was Stones who had to drop out for Fernandinho - which is really the crux of this debate.

That's actually all I'm interested in.

Why was it Stones who dropped for Fernandinho? Why not Laporte or Otamendi?

That is the answer to all your questions.

You don't drop one of your two most in lnform centre back when trying an experimental line up. Stones started all the matches against Liverpool last season. Basically the hardest match up in the league and he started both. Against the best counter pressing team in the country he started why? Because he is the best ball playing centre back city has. If that don't tell you something then am sorry for you

nihilistjnr:
I blame raumdeuter for spawning all these little toads of his with double his ability to make outlandish statements, but half his ability to spin the defensive amala when cornered.

John Stones that was always the first CB to be benched by Pep during last season.This was what Pep said when Stones didnt even make the Match 18 for Manchester Derby.

I blame Dayo for this nonsense 100%

Clown nobody is talking about John stones at Man City. You are shifting and turning like amoeba. You basically said If stones was good he wouldn't be benched fernandinho a Dm and brought one match out of 50 in which Man City played last season. So why didn't pep replicate it or use it again if it was not an experiment. It was basically a one off which shuts down any point you are trying to raise . Like I said you are a not a clown you own the circus.

nihilistjnr:
See Laporte's Heatmap

See Otamendi

See Fernandinho


Oya tell us who played centreback, who played midfield, and who played left back.

The problem with you is that you haven't yet realised that you are a rank idiot. Dont worry, I'm here to help you discover your calling

Your ranting won't save you.Now tell us why Fernandinho was the furthest player up the pitch and show us another match where stones was benched for fernandinho unless you want to to tell us one game out the 50 Man City played last season is an indication of what will happen this season.

nihilistjnr:
You are very foolish.

Which injury did Stones come from?

Stones played 90 minutes against newcastle only 5 days before, and played 90 minutes against Everton 3 days later.

There was no injury.

Pep said after that game that he wanted to use an extra midfielder in the game.

There were 3 centrebacks available for that game - why is it Stones that Pep saw to Bench?


Fernandinho benched Stones so emphatically in the game that the guy didn't even come on to the field that day.

So it sounds extremely moronic for you to call Fernandinho 4th choice centreback when we literally saw Pep move Laporte to Left Back, and then bench Stones so that Fernandinho can play that position.

Only an idiot like yourself will say Stones is the finest ball playing CB in England, when he's literally in lower pecking order than a 34 year old midget central midfielder

No offense but common sense is far From you. You are using your hand to destroy your own damn point. You basically just showed us that fernandinho started for his ability as a midfielder in that game and pep wanted to dominate the midfield. He was basically used as the DM in that match not as a centre back. Show us his heat map and that of Laporte let's see. Then show us another match .

nihilistjnr:
Are you sure you are not the owner of the clown school here?

Only February this year, Pep chose to bench Stones and play Otamendi, Laporte, and Fernandinho in a back 4....and not against Millwall.

He did this against Arsenal with Mendy out.

Can you please check and see who is 4th choice here?

They say a little knowledge is dangerous in the hands of a fool.

Again you are talking out of your ass. So your sample size is one game in which stones was just coming back from injury and fernandinho still basically played as a DM with walker dropping back to form a back 3 with Laporte and Otamendi. You have changed the discuss. If you don't rate stones fine by me but saying stuff like he can't even pass is clownish and the worst opinion I have seen this year

nihilistjnr:
Stones is the best ball player but Pep is willing to play Fernandinho in defence alongside Laporte?

Fernandinho is a 33 year old midget at that who learnt work as a CM.

Are you sure you're not the clown here?

You are talking out of your ass honestly.
Common sense will tell you fernandinho will be their 4th choice centre back option behind Laporte,stones and otamendi. You are not a clown but the entire circus.

nihilistjnr:
Stones is not even brilliant at playing the ball.

I don't know if you really watched Stones play because even the passing no follow.

Imagine spending 50m on a brilliant ball player but preferring to play a 33 year old 5'8 cm in defence ahead of your guy

You must be joking lol. This is such a clownish opinion. Stones is arguably the best ball playing centre back in England only David Luiz comes close. Pep said he will use him as an option in centre back since kompany left and they have no replacement like he did with Martinez at Bayern and other countless players pep had converted to other positions like alaba,lahm etc That's just pep nothing to do with Stones.

nihilistjnr:
It seems you just started watching football.


Stones? Rated? By who?



stones high price was due to English tax not due to ability

I don't even rate stones honestly because he is not my type of defender but he is a brilliant ball playing centre back useful for possession oriented teams.He was highly rated at Everton and at a point the best centre back outside the top6 teams.

Ibime:
Are you sure you watched John Stones at Everton? Stones made the most errors leading to a goal in his last season at Everton. Van Dijk was top 5 before his transfer, just not publicised because he didn't play for a big club.

Van dijk was never top5 in England . He had few injuries and brain fart moments at Southampton.
Never stood out for the Dutch national team when he starts and had average-to-decent tenure at Southampton.
You are blinded by recent bias. As at 2016 Stones was rated higher than Van dijk and the best centre back outside the top6 teams.

raumdeuter I don't see Bayern paying that amount.

CapitalCee:
De gea is 17.8m, Maguire is 80m., AWB is 45m, Shaw is 30m, Lindelof is 30m. I dont know where you got your figures from

Calculate Your figures.

Eruditor:
Zobo. Trust me on this.

Sane is definitely going to Bayern and city stance is, if joao Felix went for 105million then sane is worth More. It will be a record transfer

A potential backline of 200million.

De Gea £22m

Lindelof £32m

Maguire £85m

AWB £45m

Shaw £34m.


Not bad!

raumdeuter:
Sane's news is not official though

With Man Utd signings, they should win the league. Wan Bissaka and Maguire is about 150M Euros now

A tier 1 source in Germany said this.......!
[Süddeutsche Zeitung] : Leroy Sane has opted to join FC Bayern. The transfer is in final rounds of negotiations concerned about a record breaking transfer fee and a record salary.
I doubt united will even mount a title challenge but if they get Dybala then maybe.

After selling Sane to Bayern for 130million Man City should just drop 100m for koulibaly sharp sharp.

muyiwaadekunle1:
The evidence was the man of the match performance against Japan, Brazil, France and England. Lest i forget,
he also had 3 goals and 3 assists at the tournament .
Despite his Silver ball Award, he also made the best X1 FIFA Award .
I get your point that you don't want him in Madrid but to compare Hazard with Sterling is an insult. If Sterling were to be in that Chelsea squad, nobody would hear of him. Man city have a team full of superstars and a serial winner coach who have all been complementing each other in attack and defence.
Take it from me, regardless of how he has performed at the pre season. Hazard would kick ass in La Liga.

Hazard fanboys are getting worst on this platform. 0 goals, 0 assists vs Brazil and France. Did hazard go to the world cup to be counting dribbles.

Mapoka:
He was dropping a poverty stricken numbers and was still listed. I would rather be Dropping those numbers, and still get nominated than paddling your so called sterling's numbers without winning the pfa player of the year not to talk of being listed for the ultimate prize

Make your sterling with those numbers first win pfa player of the year, before his olojukokoro eyes go dey high for the ultimate prize

The prize no be for local champions

Guy you are shameless. You have nothing tangible to say.

Swissh:
Infact from matchday8 to matchday38 he only scored 9 goals. . 9goals in 29matches. Poverty stricken numbers .

Bwhahaha Sir Mapoka don't run from this. We are talking about how hazard was dropping poverty stricken numbers in the league and Sterling having a better season than him. Stop turning Amala when you are not an expert.

Mapoka:
Is there any player in the world that you guys haven't used to compare Hazard?

Quote me up again when your sterling wins a non local cup because here we don't deal with local man we deal international

How can Sterling Win Europa league when he has never played in the competition what is wrong with you? Do you hope retain the cup this season?

Swissh:
Infact from matchday8 to matchday38 he only scored 9 goals. . 9goals in 29matches. Poverty stricken numbers .

Oga Mapoka this is what I am asking you about. Is this accurate? Answer and stop turning like worm.

Swissh:
Infact from matchday8 to matchday38 he only scored 9 goals. . 9goals in 29matches. Poverty stricken numbers .

Airmark,thorrvik55,Mapoka,Greatihex,Hazardfan1, Is this accurate Bwhahaha.

Swissh:
Infact from matchday8 to matchday38 he only scored 9 goals. . 9goals in 29matches. Poverty stricken numbers .

Chisos that can't be true. Chelsea fans please prove him wrong lol.

airmark:
Ask him how many goals Hazard scored against his team in a non-local cup final, last May?

According to Raumdeuter, big players don't care about local matches.

Bwhahaha I don't discuss Europa league. We don't do that at Madrid.

Swissh:
I had hazard in my fantasy team after that early season form.
From matchday 9 to matchday 26 the idiot scored only three goals 16matches 3 goals . "Awon he carried us FC"

Against the top6 teams last season in the league he scored only 1 goal as well.

monerozi5590:
I am no CR7 fan but Real Madrid highest goal scorer in CR7 made it happened.


Let's not say further, Zidane will be exposed this season.

My hopes are low. Let's see what he can do without the miracle worker in CR7.

Fact is Zidane’s success at Real Madrid as a manager was driven by Cristiano Ronaldo. He turned up whenever we needed a saviour and nobody can replace Him not big nyash Hazard who can't score 20goals a season. Zidane won't do shitttt because he is tactically a naive coach with one style of play. Last season ending and this pre season shows it.

hensben:
You see it sad sentiments cos your sentimental mind make you so.

When you can't back up your argument with anything tangible or substantial then its definitely sentimental. That's all you do. Don't ever belittle or question King Ororo again

Football is a team sport and every body has their roles but when the impact of iniesta and busquet( Who is useless by the way) is downgraded you will suddenly erase that part out of your mind.

hensben:
You are daft if you think this is about insulting cr7. Football is a team sport but most of you talk trash in order to sound intelligent.

You are among the biggest trash talker on this thread. You can never back up anything you say with facts only sentiments.

hensben:
Ask the I diot why Juventus nor win ucl last season since cr7 is there.

Keep quiet don't insult king Ororo. Who scored all of Juventus knock out stage goals last season? Sit down some where this is not your hazard stupid propaganda.

Bwhahaha so two people must have the same opinion about a particular player? Self acclaimed Citadel of Being a clown has started lol.

Kimbeast:
Kroos was never a key player in the way that Schweinsteiger, Robben, Muller or Lahm were same way he is not at Madrid. He is vital but not that important and his injury against Juventus in 2013 paved the way for Robben to perform magic in that treble winning season for Bayern.Kroos exit didn't really weaken Bayern, who had Thiago, Alonso, Schweinsteiger and Martinez in that position and later signed Vidal and Tolisso.

Great post. You know football unlike one acclaimed citadel of knowledge lol. This is typical kroos pass map.
