Chairman Mao Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Let's try something different. Best performances by players in their careers. Can be City or elsewhere. Things like Bobby Charlton in the World Cup 1966 semi final, Roy Keane in the World Cup qualifiers against the Netherlands or Aden Flint (yep, Charlton, Keane, Flint..) against Walsall. Go!

redsince1994 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Andi Weimann vs Sheffield United. I said after the game he would have been man of the match even without the hattrick, his performance was outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Stan Collymore for Forest that day. You couldn`t help but applaud him for that performance. Jacki at Leicester in the cup, simply sublime. Louis Carey away at Forest in the Sky game we won 1-0 (Chris Wood penalty). What a defensive display that was. Flint away at Brighton when we pissed on their parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packman Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Joe Bryan vs Man Utd is the best performance I've seen from any Bristol City player, absolutely faultless performance.

yardy Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Leon Britton ran the show at Ashton Gate a fair few years back, was a masterclass from Swansea and unbelievably we got very lucky to come away with a 2-0 defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 One from left-field.. Dele Adebola vs Wolves, 2009. We were really struggling, awful conditions. He comes on at half time and we go 2-0 down. We managed to get a 2-2 draw through his sheer doggedness and grit. He battled so hard holding the ball up and causing the Wolves defence so many problems. Excellent seasoned performance from an experienced player. Can't seem to find highlights anywhere unfortunately. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/7815935.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He absolutely dominated Pogba and, I've watched the game back 87 a few times since, and the Sky pundits put a highlight reel together of his performance. It was sublime.

Silvio Dante Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Joe Jordan vs Doncaster. Think it was his debut.

Another Keane one would be away at Juventus in 1999. As for games I saw live, can't recall if it was against us or when I tagged along with a Coventry-supporting friend, but Matt Jansen had a stormer for Palace, guessing 1998ish.

Yeah. I remember that performance very well indeed, he was fantastic and when he got subbed late in the game the whole of AG applauded him. It was best performance from an opposition player in a very long time. Jack Butland was fantastic at AG a couple of seasons ago as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever Dele got the ball up front he was like a one man rugby scrum going backwards against 3 or 4 Saints defenders. IIRC we won 1-0 with David Noble setting up a certain LJ for the winning goal. I would agree with many above that Jacki v Leicester was probably the best performance by a City player. Just to throw in another player against us, I will say that Liam Brady for Arsenal against us in 79/80 at the Gate was the most outstanding performance of an opposition player I have witnessed. Arsenal won 1-0 in what was otherwise not a great game, but the ovation he got from the old Enclosure showed the class of the man and, indeed, the City fans, when it was not an era where performances of opposition players were often recognised by appreciative applause at the game.

RED4LIFE Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Teddy Sheringham for Millwall down AG around 1990ish. Lost 4-0 and he got a hat trick. Very special player Also, Ruud Gullit for Chelsea in a pre-season friendly. 50 yard passes with outside of both left and right feet to John Spencer's toes on the wing. Never seen anything like it before or since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't decide whether Sheringham was partly made to look better by our defensive performance that day; didn't three of the goals come from corners? I was lucky enough to watch Gullit in his prime, alongside Van Basten for Milan at the San Siro (can't remember the opponents) and they were out of this world. But that friendly was just astonishing, late in his career, and not so much running left in him, but he completely ran the game without breaking sweat!

I really liked Adebola. I still feel he wasn't quite the style or calibre we needed to get auto-promotion in 07/08 (Hull got Fraizer Campbell and look what happened!) but he was a really good player in his own right. One of the best targetmen I've seen play for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the one player above all others I wish I had gotten to see play live. Over the years, have been fortunate to have seen Maradona, Zico, Ronaldo (both versions), Messi, Zidane, Zanetti, Liam Robinson, Maldini, Del Piero etc in the flesh, but Van Basten eluded me. Back on topic, I didn't think of Jacki at Leicester (admittedly commented above), that was a masterclass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
