Not difficult is it?

Even occasionally interchange wingers during the game

Not been a single game where we've played to his strengths yet with his aerial threat and put in a few decent crosses.

He's absolutely useless in the air though.

100% . Still getting used to how ETH is playing. His lack of pace does hinder him and if we are to use his strengths it’s we need to put more crosses in.
Nobody is expecting him to be a first teamer but as far as CFs go right now he is the best we have. Which isn’t saying much

Doesn’t help when Antony has been largely poor from crossing and rashford has been on fire and has every right to dribble and attack his defender from the other side.

He might benefit if Bruno plays a bit closer to him, but who knows? If he starts against Leeds I think he will score . They won’t be playing as compact from home

Probably not so much, he was poor Wednesday, but he's been fine mostly imo. Although I think it's time to put Rashford back up top now Sancho is back in the mix

no he hasnt fine

we cant have standards on one hand and then disregard them on the other its almost as if theres something (or some physical feature) stopping some on here from calling him out for what he is "shit".


he is a striker. a goal scorer yet some of you are applauding him laying the ball off and 'linking' up.
he isn't a threat , doesn't make us better and looking out of place everytime he plays for us.

when city didn't have a striker they didnt fetch some lummox to play up top doing absolutely nothing.

You’re not allowed to say anything until he’s been here five years.

He lays the ball off and takes a minute or two before reaching the penalty area with his lumbering sprint.


It's a disgrace that we had to sign him. I understand why we did. But to pretend he is anything other than shit is a bit

Thick as mince.

He's been brought in to provide support, but had to start every game so far due to injuries, there were no other options. On the bench on Wednesday were Elanga and Pellistri and Sancho, 1 is £#%&!, 1 had never played in the PL and 1 has been missing for 4 months.

City are better without a number 9 and have a ton of attackers to choose from.

He's scored 1, hit the post and been denied by a few decent saves, plus been in cracking positions and not been given the ball. He was £#%&! on Wendnesday, but it's not as if everyone is clicking in the front line anyway.

He's offered more in his few games than Ronaldo managed in his last 3 months tbh.

Bellers really hates it when someone shows up him as thick, again.

no he hasnt ben brought in to provide support.
lets not use cute words to justify his bullshit.
he is a striker. he has been brought in as a striker because we lost Ronaldo and Greenwood and martial is an unreliable #@&%!.

he is a relegation fodder style striker. I don't really like garnacho but id rather play him as a false 9 instead of the guy we have playing literally a false impression of a 9.

and the whole narrative about us not playing to his strengths is because he is too slow so teams push up against him so we aren't making enough progress up the pitch to be in the position to cross the ball.

plus Ronaldo wasn't conducive with how we want to play , he is worse Imo as he isn't even a clinical finisher. no redeeming features and he looks embarrassing running around chasing the ball.

a player loaned out to turkey from burnley should not be starting or appearing for us in competitive competitions.

he has a lot of developing to do.
I can see why ETH doesn't really rate him. he is wasteful and arrogant about it.

gesturing when dragged off for stinking up the place a few times now
plus his public fanboying of Ronaldo who disrespected the club publicly doesnt rub the right way.

just my opinion bro.

18 year old needs to improve aspects of his game.

He's 18.

Don't get the garnacho slander at all. His 1st touch is sensational. Erik will turn him into a star.
