Savinho has been given a lot opportunities more than Marmoush and he doesn’t deliver
Pep is to be blamed
Why did he play Cherki on the wings
Too much possession no end product
Happy 10th Anniversary to EsteemedKompany🎉🎉🎉
Why is Savinho still playing ? The standard of City has drastically drop. Some of the City players are average players and won’t even get starting line up for this Arsenal squad. In the past City raised the bar very high, making this current City squad look vulnerable, no much threats from this squad. Is shocking mid table teams now have the courage to even play toe to toe with City, few seasons ago all these teams gives maximum respect to CITY , but now they no longer fear playing against City. About 3 to 4 players in this City Squad are not up to the standards of City, they look average. Am not sure they can’t even get playing time in this Arsenal team. If City want to win any major trophy this season, the club need to offload the average players and find better replacement.
Julián Alvarez is a big loss for CITY. Honestly this season if we have Julián Alvarez our attack will be sharp. We are not pressing enough, in the past we sophisticate teams and kill them, this time around mid table teams and even bottom teams feel so comfortable playing against City. We are no longer a big threat to all these teams. So many players in this City squad aren’t good enough for City standard. Most of these players won’t fit into Arsenal first 11 even they might not fit for Arsenal Bench. Just look at Arsenal squad depth, the strength of their bench is almost equal to their first 11 players, almost each position have 3 good players competing against each other. We don’t have same in City Squad.
Cannot hear you
Big D has been the signing of the season for me. As good as Eddie was with his feet he's saving 30-50% less of the shots Big D has kept out IMO.
There’s something wrong with the sound, it starts at minute 9
OMG ten years! So I’m a year plus in and feel cheated!
Would it be crazy to play Josko on the left wing? Obviously Doku will start going forward but if he needs rest or gets injured again, it could be Oreilly LB and Gvardiol LW, he can finish better than Doku and Savio imo.
On the Donnarumma thing, I'm one of those who thinks he is a double edge sword, his shot-stopping is great to massive, but his passing sacrifices our ability to progress the ball, since he tends to pass the ball behind the CB which than allows the opposition to make the pass from the CB to the midfield harder, which makes the midfield fight to have the ball
Hey esteemed kompany just wondering when was your first video? Was it with blue moon rising, or 2017 esteemed kompany. I started following u when your were still back at home with your parents 😅
Also, GG conceded the 1st shot on target in about 20% of his games at city, eddie kept it in at about 18%, so that 1st shot on target thing isnt really going away, the gamble with GG is that u r gonna concede more shots amd take less shots, but he is gonna save more shots.
You guys should stop criticising savinho he can dribble an assist but he just needs to be told to take his chances really well and score
Happy new year esteemkompany great video everything you said was spot on.
Happy new year Steve thanks for what you do
this game .for me .was the forest game without the goals.Those goals at Forest changed the post match narrative ,changing the game from a poor performance to a great win and a great professional performance.Last night if those relatively easy chances had been taken,and we have every right to expect them to be taken,then the narrative post match last night would have been different and city would have been praised from the rooftops and classed as a real threat to Arsenal,For me last night just confirmed what i have been thinking foe some time now,that Savio has a mental block in front of goal,and i fear that no end of practice will cure this,i hope i 'm wrong on this.Then we have The biggest enigma in footballing history,certainly in the 65 years that i have been watching the game,Haaland is just that in my opinion.His goal tally is off the scale as we all know but this is a man who is basically given licence to play no real part in the game apart from putting the ball in the back of the net when the chances come his way,this he didn't do last night so he failed us and his teammates on this occasion.but we all know that on Sunday he could score the goals that give us a much needed win,such is the career of the enigma called Haaland.
Congratulations on 10 years!! Loved seeing Rodri back! Just hope Nico G is back soon. Dying to see Rodri and Nico G on the pitch together. We got a very small glimpse of this during the CWC. They will be a 🔥 duo.
GD was by farrrrr our best player.
Congratulations on the big mile stone 🎉 been watching you for years.
Man fuck stats, just looking at the game, he transformed the game, the entire pitch changed. City went from a team of good players playing together to a force. The way Manchester City went into Python mode and started to squeeze Sunderland 18 yd box is remarkable. Rodri is the boss, years ago I was saying he's the best player in the world. And no I'm not a City fan, I'm a football fan.
City will still win the league 💙🙏
God damn time flies how was 2016 10 years ago??
Happy 10th Anniversary to EsteemedKompany
Haaland while at Dortmund is long gone, who was brave to take on defenders, long range shooting, sprinting behind defenders. Beside all the stats at City, when nothing going on, I want him to come deep create chances for yourself, rathar than waiting for a ball to be passed while two defenders marking him not gonna favor us. Man, I miss Aguero sometime.
I LOVE Nico G, he did more than most of our other DMs but come on. Rodri isn't a random player😂 Rodri has a big point to prove it seems
Just give Rodri another balon dor
Imagine citeeh playing Semenyo and Doku, then Foden and Cherki, Haaland and Rodri 😂😂😂, teams will sweat 💦💦💦💦
I've been watching for 10 years! Crazy. Love it, man.
Im also not concerned about that performance. It was a great performance from Sunderland; last season we wouldve lost it by 4 goals.
And im glad you mentioned Gvadiol. He's a generational talent!
We could sign Neves now for just £15M. Should we? I can’t believe I’m saying this but Sterling was miles better than Savinho.
People critical of Donnaruma should get their heads examined. We lose the game Donnaruma
Congrats on 10 years Steven. Hoping for many more.
Some people saying play Gvardiol instead of Doku on the wing. That is the dumbest thing ive heard in a long time
