Dropped even from the bench for 3 PL games when fit? A "young Yaya Toure"....?

Like I said, no one was bitching back then about his non inclusion


Cant moan about the results can they, so have to create imaginary scenarios, saw him getting stick on twitter for saying he'd spoken to dalglish....
 
He was simply saying his style of play is SIMILAR. Not exactly difficulty to see, why does every single young player comparison have to be jumped on? He isn't saying Bentaleb is as good as Xavi obviously is he?

"OMG YOU JUST COMPARED TOM CARROLL'S STYLE OF PLAY TO INESTAS! OMFG OMFG!"
Although I agree with that. Bentaleb and Xavi are not even close to alike. Xavi is much more incisive and forward thinking passer. Nabil doesn't have the confidence (yet) to back his passing into making such passes. All very sideways. Not criticising him, he's been good but he's not comparable to Xavi imo.

Bentaleb is also 7 inches taller :llorisserious:

Xavi's best part of his game has nothing to do with his passing ability and his passing is arguably the best in the world. His ability to dictate tempo and control the match off the ball is second to none. Bentaleb has this ability which is unseen by most, albeit not top notch yet, but, he is only 12 years old.
 
Ade seems to be on a mission to be the new fan's favourite player, seems to be showing a lot of appreciation for that too (applauding our fans at the end of the game).

Seems to be succeeding too. Shows his ability with that second goal, can't see many other players having the cool and ability to calmly fake and slot it in like that?

I think it's far too early, whether unseen or not to attribute Nabil with that. Looks a tidy, technically sound player but he hasn't dictated or controlled any match thus far. But, as you say, he's a toddler. Comparisons to other players need to wait, especially since he was a more advanced player in the yoof so people only 6 months ago would have been saying he's of a different ilk.
 
team news before man city drubbing “We’ve managed to get Nacer back with Etienne, Zeki and Vlad, that’s good news for us,” reported Andre after training on Friday."

alittle actual research would show you that the bloke was carrying an injury and being eased back in, but really just fuck off making shit up

Hahahaha....we've got them back....but he dropped him from even the bench, and you are defending that??

Eased back in? From where? His house? LOL

A "young Yaya Toure" is dropped from playing against.....Yaya Toure......we lose 6-0, and you are fine with it?

A "young Yaya Toure" is dropped, and we take 16pts from 18........and you are crying over it

:adelol:
