Super Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 How did he miss?! I thought he was very good last night but he does seem to score the more difficult chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 This is Famaral all over and why there remain question marks over his value . Weimann missed a sitter as well and this is why , in due course, we will try to upgrade them. The great conundrum because both players bring so much to the team but I suppose if they were that clinical they’d be plying their trade at a higher level. These are interesting times for City , we are gradually increasing the quality of our squad and the expectations of the supporters , we need to be careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water mind.

deadredfred Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 He really has to score the 1 on 1, but I thought his finish for his goal was really well taken. He had a bit of time but buried it. Thought some of his link up play and tracking back was excellent too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC RISK77 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Agree he was exceptionally good last night, how much has his first touch and hold up play improved this season?? Also agree that he is not the most natural finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 He's playing his best football for us since he signed. Need to get him signed up to a new contract ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Without doubt this is his best season yet, and his goals total will be a PB in English football if he scores 4 more. Has he reached 100 games for City? Wiki seems to suggest he's on 99. Loyal servant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Narrow margins. My impression was that his shot came off the post, so it wasn’t like he blazed it over. Otherwise he had a good game yesterday, took his goal well, it was his header that set up Benkovic for the second, plus his usual defensive headers. But he gets no help from the referees. There were at least a couple of blatant fouls on him that weren’t given but that seems to be the same every match at this level; Defenders are given the benefit of even the slightest doubt.

Bernard Lerring Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 The penultimate touch was a bit heavy, which meant that the finish was less composed and he still didn't miss by much. Certainly not worth berating him for, as some around me did (always do) He plays with passion, he's improving all the time and is on course for his best return in English football. I don't get the animosity towards him The argument over being our most expensive signing ever? He was 5m for a seemingly guaranteed 12+ goals a season, seems a decent return to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohhhshauntaylor Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Very early signs of some good link up between Fam and Wells also. The Corner which led to the 2nd goal was a result of Fam winning a header and Wells getting on to it. That’s pleasing to see. He was good again last night, looks thinner and fitter to me last 6-8 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Moonwalker Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 thought the same about the one against brum. He's improved leaps and bounds but will always miss a few sitters a year with poor football IQ or maybe finishing IQ. Reminds me of when I went to see West Brom in 2004 or 2005 when Kanu was playing for them and technically for the most part he was very good, but then missed a certain goal from about 1 yard out.. i'll find the video hang on , starts at 2:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 He's been excellent for a few months now. I hope we're in contract negotiations with him, only a year left in the summer. A striker with a 1 in 3 record in this division is something most clubs would love to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pl00peh91 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I’m thinking that he scored a lot of goals where he has limited or no time to think, it’s purely instinct. As soon as you give him a few seconds (like the one on one last night) he’ll often overthink it and miss. It’s definitely a mental issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 The two he didn’t score were typical Fam. The one cleared off the line. How does he seem to find the defender there? Then everything about the 1v1 was perfect. Slowed his run so he was in our half when the pass is played. Touch from the pass took him towards goal. Enough composure and pace to get in front of the defender so he couldn’t challenge then a slightly Heavy touch and misses just wide. This isn’t a criticism as such because I love the guy and have rated him since he has been here. Definitely improved his all around game and still a decent goal scorer but he always leaves you with a what if. One thing I will say, even last season, he is getting in much better positions in the box. He wastes them a bit and his movement is not always great but he gets good chances regularly now. Top guy and top professional. If he finishes 10% more of those good chances he isn’t here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 A very good player that gets a lot of unjust criticism. In his defence he was absolutely spent by the time that chance came round, he just didn’t stop working all night. Took the wrong option and should have taken it round the keeper, but it was only a couple of inches the wrong way. Weimann’s was worse for me, he had all the time in the world to take a touch and work it into a better position. As an aside I think Johnson and the team deserve a lot of credit for just how much they’ve improved him. His all round game is miles better than when he arrived.

Rocking Red Cyril Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 yes strikers score and miss chances but I felt Fammy was a big part of our win last nite. It was interesting chatting to Derby fans after the game and they where very impressed with Fammy and felt he was our best player by a mile and paid LJ many plaudits for how he has taken our team forward on a limited budget.

Compare that then to COD, who with more appearances is still yet to do anything of any note in a City shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 The big difference last night was where the ball was getting hit up to him he didn’t have to try and chest it or hold it up all the time but he could flick it on and Nahki Wells was there to run into it, personally thought it has the making of a very good partnership but we will see. Took his goal well but he really needs to be finishing those 1 v 1’s. Overall good performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
