Otamendi needs to understand that when under pressure, it is absolutely ok to welly the ball into row Z.
If a professional player at his level needs to be told that I suspect he's probably not likely to change anytime soon.

I didn't write that he needs to be 'told that'. Rather that he needs to understand it.
At that point in the second half ,things were somewhat chaotic in defense. It helps to take a breather and regroup.

My point stands though. I know it, you know it. If he doesn't "understand" that, then what the fuck is he doing at a top class football club.
All players cock up from time to time, I don't think he can have any excuses there mate. Just a case of trying to be too clever.

Maybe all team's centre backs are shit and I don't just watch enough football, but City seem brilliant at picking the worst of them , usually for ludicrous prices.

I hear mangala will be used in the swap for stones as well

He occasionally does one big challenge which makes him look like the man, but for the basics of defending, he's schoolboy level. His latest appears to be to lie down in front of an opponent. I suspect it's supposed to be a block, but if you do that so early, the player just walks post you.
On the grounds he's often next to at least one player who speak the same language and doesn't have to deal with Kolarov getting caught up the pitch, I actually think he's worse than Mangala.
My main concern though is who really identified and bought him and Mangala. If it was Pellegrini, fine, roll on next season, but if it came from our director of football, then what difference will another £75m and Pep make.

Did he always do this or has he only just started the lying down in front of an attacker? I've only noticed it in the last handful of matches but he does it nearly all the time.
