Bar BS3 Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Eros Pisano! I mean, surely he must have won some sort of competition, with first prize of a professional football contract! He looks the part, but he makes Brian Mitchell look like a right footed Paulo Maldini. Not very encouraging early signs in afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 I think you're going to get lots of this sort of response but give him a chance. Not really fair to judge that much until players are totally match fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just doesn't seem to have the first clue about any part of the game. Fingers crossed I look back at this post in a couple of months time and need to admit that I got him completely wrong.

Phileas Fogg Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 You've got to give players a decent amount of games, especially if they're foreign. Communication is so important for a defender and it'll take a while. Being 'fit' and 'match fit' are different things too - in my opinion we should give him the benefit of the doubt over pre season. Wait until the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Downs Leeds Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 I saw Kodjia's first appearance for city down Yeovil and I thought his performance that day was akin to a Bas Savage performance. So plenty of time to get up to pace. Saying that I didn't think Pisano's performance was that bad today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until the season starts. Absolutely. I seem to recall a lot writing off Kodjia after a friendly at Yeovil I think. And of course, Matt Smith is awful.

Wanderingred Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 It's because of threads like this that friendlies should be played behind closed doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God forbid someone forms an opinion after watching someone. It's amazes me how precious some people get when people just comment on players, whether a potential signing or current players performance.

Leveller Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 I was there. He had little to do against a weak team. What was the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Complete over reaction. To me he looks comfortable on the ball, wants to join in and is very physical. I expect a few yellow cards this season from him, that's for sure! Obviously will take time but nowhere near as bad as people on here are making out.

BobBobSuperBob Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Well we've had long enough to identify a decent right back Two simple questions 1) An upgrade on Little or Ayling ? 2) Is he of the quality that you'd expect given the time we've had to identify suitable right backs ?

SuperDziek Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 I remember Nicky Hunt looking decent on his debut in a friendly for City. Clearly appearances can be deceiving! Let's give Eros Peroni a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gasbuster Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 I didn't go today; but as others have said, give the guy some time against proper opposition. Dont know if the OP was saying it with tongue in cheek; but any comparison of any current City player with Brian Mitchell will give me nightmares ! Without doubt the WORST player I have ever seen wear our beloved shirt !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
