TheGoodJoe:


You can trust the experts who failed to talk about the clear penalty in the box against Iheanacho. The failed to pickup the build up plays or the brilliant passes to the wings.

When you find an expert that points to the Iheanacho penalty call that left him in agony on the field let me know.

Even the EPL studios refused to talk about City penalty calls at half time. That will tell you everything.

Find an expert that talks about the penalty call.

Maybe because it wasn't a penalty, I watched the Match on Bt sport, Savage and Dunne(Ex-City Player) would have mentioned it if it was a penalty.

zicky:
Guy the whole team was poor, you don't single out a player, let's see the whole City players rating, I bet you none will be above 5. So to single out Nacho as if he was the cause of the defeat is mischief cause 3 Aguero in that team today would've changed nothing. Nacho in the midst of King & Huth, ha! they for just give our boy 6months injury.

goldfish80:

Iheanacho and Man city where off colour.
Frankly speaking I wasn't impressed one bit by Iheanacho. He never had a foot hold on the game like Gundogan, David silva and Navas.

You keep talking about a penalty call on Iheanacho but the truth is that Iheanacho was never in a goal scoring position when Albrighton made the tackle. Infact, Iheanacho had his back to goal and the ball loving away from him just inside the box when Albrighton took both the ball and the man.
Those who didn't watch the game will be deceived into believing Ihenacho had a blinder of a game and was fouled in a goal bound move after reading you post. Perspective please.

princesuko:


If you have been reading what I have been typing, I am not singling out Nacho, But was disagreeing with someone who said he had a good game.

TheGoodJoe:


Savage. Do you know how Savage hates City with all his heart? Do you know Savage is a Manchester United guy? Na wa. If you are talking of Dunne, I can listen.

However, you have eyes. You saw the tackle. It was from behind in the box.

Be the judge.

TheGoodJoe:


If you read, I said he had a good game because he made things happen in an unfair situation.

I ask again, did you see his move before the pass to Gundogan?

TheGoodJoe:


The match was not over. Yes, there was a slim chance but not over. The Iheanacho tackle would make it 3-1. What of the clear handball from a long range shot? We still scored two, despite the referee waving off repeated fouls in the box on City.

Be fair man, be fair.

princesuko:


I saw it. Gundogan should have scored but that doesn't mean he had a good game. How would you rate Kolarov then, if Nacho had a goo game?

TheGoodJoe:


The ball was in front of Albrighton. Iheanacho went passed Albrighton with amazing speed (Something someone like you will fail to notice) that tackle was in the box. Beats me how towards goal or not changes tackle in the box. The tackle was from behind. How is that not a penalty, beats me. I am sure that was okay to you.

I will listen to a critique who comes here and points out the good side of Iheanacho's game. If not,

Yara Yara give me one word for that.

Yara Yara: BIAS.

BascoVanVeli:


U are asking for alot but i just can't. If man city went on to win that match it would have been an unjust miracle.

princesuko:
Why was Nacho removed instantly after that Offside One-on-one Miss? If he was having a stormer he would have continued i think. For him to bring Nacho off for Yaya Toure when you need a goal tells you something.

Nacho Is a great talent but he had a POOR GAME, no manner of twisting can change that. If he Impressed you it means you are easily impressed.

TheGoodJoe:


I disagree. I do not want Miracles. Just fair officiating. It is wrong to allow a team walk away with repeated fouls. It is wrong to book Fernando when he clearly won the ball. Wrong to allow Albrighton walk away after such blatant foul on Navas.

Same player committed such atrocity on Iheanacho and no penalty.

Unfair officiating gives one Team an unfair advantage. We have seen lots of fight backs in football. A three goal advantage is not the Holy grail of winning.

goldfish80:

Iheanacho went past Albrighton? Iheanacho never completed a dribble in that game. He never had a shot all game, he never won any aerial ball because definitely he had no chance in the air against Huth/ Morgan, and certainly the quality of his passing was below average like the other players.
The only highlight of Iheanacho's minutes was when he put dropped the ball for Gundogan.

The penalty claim you talked about was not a strong one.

princesuko:


You Make it seem as if City would have scored the Penalty

TheGoodJoe:


Choi. Iheanacho did not win an aerial ball. Are you sure it is aerial balls or duels. Iheanacho got some aerial balls. This your statistics site na wa.

Leave your statistics site, did you see Iheanacho's pass to Gundogan? Did you see his touches before the pass? Did you see Iheanacho's control of the ball with his chest under a tight situation.

I repeatedly said, Iheanacho was bullied. Unless you do not understand what bullying does. It is difficult to win aerial balls under such situations when the referee allows bullying.

Someone Like You should know that.

As for dribbling, it is difficult for an attacker to complete dribbles in such situations. That is for wingers.

Leave bias and sentiments aside, raise your hands, be a gentleman acknowledge Man city where beaten hands down.
Leicester didn't employ and dirty tactics. Ranieri's tactics came together nicely.

He put Islam and Vardy with an instruction to run/press and strangle Man city defenders.
There terrifying pace frightened Jon stones into making childish errors.
There was a moment Islam chased Jon stones out of the pitch (not literally)

Pep Guardiola's tactics is getting stale and he's being found out just 14 weeks into the premiership.

It's obvious he's struggling because he doesn't have the best assembly of players in the league and one of the best players of all time to rely on.
Am interested to see how Pep Guardiola improves on his 2nd year, as his legacy as a manager will depend on his time in England.

I haven't seen any quantum improvements on Iheanacho's game. The much heralded pass to Guondogan was very basic, which any Premier league forward will make.

BascoVanVeli:


Bad calls are part of the game, the Jose had hinted that his rivals will also face bad ref decisions. It happens to everybody,

3-0 is game over. That's why when liverpool came back they called it a miracle. If they had stole one before halftime then maybe.

TheGoodJoe:


Raise my hands for what? I have no problem in losing. Not one bit. I believe football is a long-term thing, not one game.

I have a problem with unfair officiating. Michael Oliver was very poor today. It is shocking people have a problem with me pointing out how terrible he was.

As for Iheanacho, compared to what he was up against, he put up a good performance. Something people are trying to deny.

Ranieri got his tactics right. Our defenders were the weakest point. That does not change the fact that Michael Oliver was clearly biased.

Shocking you can not see quantum improvement. Watch the game. Watch the player and forget statistics sites telling you the story.

If not, you will miss out on brilliance like how Iheanacho dropped deep and helped build-up plays. Those sites can not tell you that.

LOL... I hope you realised I watched the game from start to finish?
I think Man city players were shell shocked by the 2 quick goals they conceeded within the first 5 mins
.

Iheanacho at no time dropped to his half to help the build up play.

In my view, Iheanacho had the least touches of all the players on parade today. I may have to check up on that later.

What will you gain by deceiving people who didn't watch the game? You're better than this

goldfish80:

I wonder what statistics site you're talking about. I never cited any statistics or gave an percentage,neither did I post any data from a dashboard.

I can't recall any bad decision Michael Oliver made.
The supposed handball would have been harsh to give because the Man city player smashed the ball from 3yards into the hands of Fuchs.
The tackle on Iheanacho was not as bad as you make it out. That particular incident wasn't even deliberated on by the analysts at half time.

You're making a storm in a tea cup with your calling out of the referee and in another breath admiting Leicester got their tactics spot on.
The scoreline would have been more embarrassing, had Bravo not pulled a stunning save to deny Mahrez in the first half.

TheGoodJoe:


You are absolutely terrible at this. Why argue what you do not understand? If you did not see any poor officiating from Michael Oliver, quit jumping on the thread to argue. I will be honest. You are so lost.

Here is a post from ja606 from someone who was in the stadium for the game.

I haven't read the comments sorry. One thing that annoyed me how hasn't oliver got out the way in the build up to there 3rd? And was a clear pen on kelechi in the 1st half. If you start like we did have to accept it. Poor tactics and poor finishing aswel.

Boris 'Inky' Gibson (U5901)

Dreadful refereeing again, we could have had 3/4 penalties but we were already 2 goals down before the first incident.

You must not argue everything. If you do not pick up these things, do not argue it.

goldfish80:

Haba... That's a Man city blog comment you copied. What do you expect?
Of course most fans will blame the referee when they loose just like you're doing. That's why they are fans.

TheGoodJoe:


If anyone is deceiving anyone is you. Who told you that dropping deep is always to your own half. Na wa for you. You make all these reckless talks and end with accusation. Say Iheanacho did not build-up plays from deep and you define how lost you are watching games.

I clearly wonder what you were watching.

TheGoodJoe:


It is not Manchester City blog. It is a football forum frequented by people of different clubs. That is a City thread. I am pointing out that how come foreigners could see a definite penal on the Nigerian golden boy but Nigerians are trying to defend the Corrupt decision not to award Iheanacho a penalty.

It was a definite penal. A tackle from behind in the box. Yet you did not see a wrong decision. Haba.

Either you do not understand what goes on a football pitch or you are very bias. No two ways about it.

goldfish80:

One of the comment you posted says Man city should have had 4 or 5 penalties.
That should tell you how rational those fellas you're quoting are.

goldfish80:

Just like I suspected, I went to Kelechi iheanacho's dashboard in today's game and the stats agrees with all I've said.

Let me break it down for you bit by bit ;
Kelechi completed 7 passes and posted 4 failed passes, as represented by the blue and red arrows.
He created 2 chances, as represented by the light blue arrows
Completed 1 take on represented by a tiny star
lost 4 ariel batlles, winning none, represented by 4 orange triangles
And commited 1 foul, represented by a black triangle.

That's about it from Iheanacho's game today. I don't know what improvements you witnessed.
He had a very average game if am to put it mildy

TheGoodJoe:


I knew you were looking at stats to talk because your write up shows you clearly did not understand what you were watching. Does that list show the brilliant movement of Nacho? Did your list tell you the he had to run to make those passes? What about his runs from midfield?

You said no aerial ball. From your list now, you are saying aerial battle. If you watched the game, you will see Iheanacho win balls in the air.

That is why I said, stick to your stats and allow those who watch the game discuss about it.

That list can not explain the quickness of Iheanacho to get to the ball before Albrighton.

Your list will not explain the bullying Nacho coped with to post those stats.
