Tbf Flint throws himself around much more than Baker and never seems to get injured. It seems to me Baker has some sort of weakness, a recurring niggle of some sort which means he is regularly substituted as a precaution if he starts to feel it. He's usually fit as a fiddle next game so let's hope that's the case again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Red Hat Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Flint is not half the player without Baker alongside him. WTF was he doing coming across and leaving that player free in the box, second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickolas Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 But he is many many times the player Maggers is. Flint doesnt struggle with Baker next to him. Funny how we get pulled out of position as soon as Baker is missing. I quite like Magnússon, however i just cant see a position that suits him. Should campaign for him to be our quarterback so he can come on jst for long throws and the occasional 30 yard free kick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same about Magnússon.Defo not a CB and not a wing back either.I like him as a city player but still not sure wether he is good enough at this level.Long throws are great but it's the other parts of his game that worry me.

Davefevs Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I thought Magnússon did really well in the second half having had to switch position. He’s not commanding, but that’s not his game. He’s not one to go flying into tackles, that’s not his game. He won his aerial battles, which he’s often criticised for. He didn’t really ‘get done’ at any point. The pitch was difficult to defend on, and he did a good job. He was composed on the ball, and passed it well second half. I get that people worry, because he’s not Flint or Baker, but he didn’t really do a lot wrong at CB did he? We withstood pressure from a very good side...he was part of that.

Davefevs Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 People are too busy, desperately nit-picking to find fault with some players, rather than taking each performance individually. Fine to then base an opinion on a sample. People have it in for Mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad Wisdom (I think) didn’t go down in the first half as Derby broke on us, or he could’ve got a second yellow. He stuck to his task, but had a difficult night.

About 4/5 times a season he will have to be substituted for a niggle that nobody has seen. Just commented on it thats all as its unusual. Didnt say he shouldnt go off. Didnt say he was crap at football. Didnt slag off his beard. If I made a City XI since 1988 when I started watching, Baker would be at centre back. I expect @Bar BS3 will think that is nonsense as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect @Bar BS3 will think that is nonsense as well. I may be wrong, but I think Baker and Paterson were two players LJ mentioned as having ongoing niggles that needed mentioning. Both nerve issues rather than muscular if I remember correctly. Yesterday was a rolled ankle, but I think he does have an ongoing weakness that has led to him missing a couple of games or being subbed on those three occasions.

petehinton Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Our most important player. Makes the most obvious difference on the pitch when he’s not playing. First name on the team sheet for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
