Very similar It's an unusual thing to do, push the ball so far away it looks like he has lost control, but it gives him space to whip it in at a really good angle. As soon as I saw it, I thought, "he's done it again". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugofwar Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 The way he created the space today was fantastic. A little drag back onto his standing foot to shift the ball, totally fooled the defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayes86 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Was thinking when the ball went back out to him, now would be a great time to put a cross in like he did mid-week. No sooner had that thought appeared the ball was in the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Thought he was absolutely excellent from the moment he came on. Winning possession, pouncing on loose balls and causing them all sorts of problems. All I can say is GOOD COD ALMIGHTY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Yeah, thought the same. I'd start Calum and Eliasson on the wings. Both can use their right foot too. They could swap wings throughout the game and really bamboozle their fullbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrick's Marvels Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Starting to find some form again. Excellent news. He strikes me as the type who could do with a run of games to really hit his straps. Not sure he going to get that with the competition for wide spots and the opportunity this gives for rotation. Perhaps he'll start on Tuesday and play so well the manager can't leave him out....? He's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiled Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 So pleased to see the player that we knew we had before that long injury lay-off. Sheff Utd had no answer to him by the time he took to the pitch and got into his stride. Should have been a straight red for the foul on him in the last minutes. 'Professional' fouls didn't used to be so blatant. It was shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that once his straps are, as you so correctly say, “hit”, that he can be some player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave him a yard to cross. Said to my mate, I'd have him starting every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I hadn't seen that footage from the Ireland game. Great bit of skill. Ditto today's cross. O'Dowda played really well when he came on today. In his first season with us I was always impressed with the defensive side of his game, but thought he lacked the confidence to run at the opposition. Today showed how much he has grown - he was strong on the ball and a real threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 COD will start v West Brom. Cant possibly be left out of first 11 with his quality. Fit again now and looking so strong. When he came on we had so much more going forward and S Utd could not handle him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted September 16, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 I loved the trick he did to find the space in the first place, plying the ball off his standing leg into space. The defence is probably the strongest I’ve known it in all my years watching City and could this be benefitting our attacking players as they have to be better / add skills to succeed in training to get into the team.

Or are they perhaps not so worried about trying different skills due to not having to think that if they do and lose the ball then they put the defence under pressure on the break as they`re confident that if that happens it will be dealt with?

real_bristol Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Just read on wiki his contract is up end of season. That needs to be addressed much quicker than a potential planning application for an arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
