italian dave Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 I've been watching City for 50 years and I have never seen a player with an engine like this guy. He's played three full games in six days, in probably the most demanding position on the pitch, and in the 90th minute yesterday was still dashing 30 yards to close down the keeper like it was the 1st minute. Just amazing, and seems to defy the laws of science! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 I’ll see if I can find it , but there was a photo of him mid match recently where the definition in his leg muscles , quads is incredible Ive said it a few times but the work he does himself going to the summer boot camp is definitely showing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 His technique and movement is top Premier League class. I wish he got more recognition from his own fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Have to agree with this. Lee calls him a dynamo. He has 3 shredded wheats for breakfast every morning though. I would hate having to mark him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Most improved player in our squad by far! His workrate is the spearhead to our new pressing game this season. How many times did he pressure/ tackle the reading centre backs yesterday resulting in us winning the ball back !! Long may it continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAZ MICHAELS Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 His movement off the ball is top class and this is what makes him such a thorn in the side of opposing defenders. His diagonal run/movement in the lead up to our first goal was brilliant. He then had the awareness to set it nicely for Pato. A great disguised pass from Pack it also has to be said.

cidered abroad Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 All successful teams defend from the front. The best player that I've seen for this was Ian Rush and Bobby appears to be as good as he with the amount of hard work he gets through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xspence Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 He has been incredible this season. The miles he runs set him apart in this league. Lately with us missing a target man it has slowed his scoring down but his movement and work rate are incredible. He creates space for the midfield too and is a big part in why so many others have scored this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 That run about ten minutes from time when he harried 3 of their defenders one after another came we were flagging, it was pissing down and holding on, it lifted the crowd and his team mates. His work rate is just exceptional, he has been simply inspirational this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the situation is desperate, apart from QPR we've scored twice in every game this month, and as others have alluded too his movement is top drawer and creates space and chances for others.

Given how we need to play at the moment, we are lucky to having him closing down and putting in the work rate that he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Love the way he gets himself in the centre half's blind spot when they are chasing a through ball. Panics them into clearing it hurriedly. He must be a complete pain to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with good work rates all over the pitch. Same with Man City this season; the work rate of KDB for example is ridiculous, like genuinely unfathomable at times.
