Eagle10 Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 3 minutes ago, Col city fan said: It seems like we WERE duped by Slimani's price tag. It looks like we paid well over his market value because we took a punt on him and wanted to get him in. All will come out in the wash I suspect. It usually does. Mate, CONSIDERING the season he had, the price was fair. Nowadays, of course he isn't worth that, but maybe if he went to other club in the PL he could be a success or another league. Everything is subjective, but you weren't duped, he was worth that money considering the season he had. Football works that way if you didn't know.

The Fox, one thing you do have to admit a few weeks ago you said Riyad would shine at one of the so called bigger clubs because it was his team mates here and their poor ability that was holding him back. Well, now this team is performing and Riyad isn't the star performer. If he was to replace the Pedro's and Walcott's (as you suggested) he has got a long way to go. By the way, I think Riyad has a lot more to offer and he has slowly improved in the last few games (especially defensively) but he has set his own high standards and he isn't there yet.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 Another huge result yesterday to pull away from danger. What a job Shakespeare has done, undeniable impact. 9 goals and 9 pts from 3 league matches. Thought we showed excellent character to hold on after relentless pressure from West Ham late on. We're 15th but if we can continue with this sort of form we could be looking at a top half finish, and in that case Shakespeare would have to be a serious contender for the job.

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 Kasper is the third best City keeper I have seen after Gordon Banks and Peter Shilton . He had a superb game yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't rate drinky, Albrighton and Simpson much last season but I was ready to be convinced otherwise, and I was after this season Not telling you that you are not free to have an opinion, just telling you that sometimes you are wrong, just like any other human in this world.

Sampson Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 Are people really using the player ratings on whoscored as a guide? There's a reason people who call it "who dribbled" as a mocking title - because the ratings are absurdly and inherently in favour towards a particular type of attacking player who is good at dribbling like Mahrez - dribbling it given an absurd weighting on their rating system. I think Mahrez has played very well recently and don't agree with the criticism, but at the same time it's a bit much to say he's been in our top 3 players - Kasper, Albrighton, Vardy, Fuchs and Ndidi have defienitely been better in Shakespeare's games so far.

But he has played well, but at the same time it's understandable people aren't praising him as much as Kasper, Albrighton, Vardy, Fuhs or Ndidi - because they have simply been better.

foxinsocks Posted 19 March 2017 Share Posted 19 March 2017 I've been saying that ryhad has been double marked.. so he needs to put the ball in early.... eso early on in games.

Do you believe his performances are the best he can put out there. You said the only reason he was mis-performing previously was because his team mates were poor. They have not been poor in the last four games, so why does he not look like the best thing since slice bread again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
