We forgive players anything in return for goals, don't we?

Very much a victim of the summer shenanigans. Every poor performance and misplaced touch the subject of over analysis.

I even made a comment last night that I thought he looked mighty pissed off in the pre-match pitch line up. He probably didn’t, just his normal facial expression.

Still, should have sold him.

My judgement has nothing to do with the events of the summer, sw. Giving the ball away is a standard part of his game, but last night, Jesus Holy Christ. He might as well have been playing for them.

Useless.

Well indeed he has always given the ball away more than the normal amount (for us), his other brilliance allowed him to get away with this in the the eyes of most fans.

This year I expect leniency will be less forthcoming.

Which is why I have always been so surprised that Pep wanted him.

He'd drive the skinny Catalan chap mental I reckon.

Agreed. You never quite know with Manchester City though; with all that money, they could afford to just use Alexis as an impact sub, or something like that.

That would be funny. Worth selling him just to watch that happen imo.

Indeed, hugely intriguing to see how he would be used given the players they already have to leave out of the starting 11 and the obvious fact that one more player would have to miss out to incorporate the Chilean.

The obvious one is Aguero, but then he is Aguero.
