Re: City players who have polarised opinion
Steven Caulker. Have to say I rated him but I know quite a few who thought his positioning and reading of the game was awful.

Re: City players who have polarised opinion
Manga. Lots of people rate him whereas I think that he is appalling. Possibly the worst passer of the ball in the Premier League.

Re: City players who have polarised opinion
Neil Alexander. I thought he was excellent & made "that save" as Trashton Gate. Others had a different opinion.

Hes not even the worse passer of the ball in our defence.

Re: City players who have polarised opinion
Nigel Vaughan upset a few back in the day, scored a last minute winner against the Jacks and still had half the Bob Bank booing him.

McPhail used to get murder on here, I always liked him though

Good one.
I’d agree with that.

My mind must be bad, row Z in the Canton Stand?

Lol I was exaggerating a wee tad! Josh Low frustrated the feck outta me, because his crossing was so bad!

Re: City players who have polarised opinion
Fabio - 100% trier yes, but imo one of the worst footballers ive seen in our defence for years.
Couldn't pass, head, cross a ball, positionally awful and questionable temperament but because he ran headlong into tackles a lot of people loved him. Many didn't, including me.

Mcphail was so underrated chops wouldn’t have scored so many without him, Langley was awesome but some city fans just want grafters. I sat in the last row in the bottom of the grandstand with the dugout to my right with 2 old ####ers in front of me who shouted all game to lump it up there which seemed to be the general consensus of a lot of city fans

Re: City players who have polarised opinion
McPhail must be the ultimate polariser. Some fans despised him (the red cards probably didn't help).
He was probably ahead of his time. Five years later and his style might have been more appreciated.

(us discussing this is the very definition of polarising opinion! ;-) )
I remember Kavanagh getting subbed during one home game and an ironic cheer went up around the ground (well, the Bob-Bank at least!). He had a consistent string of ineffectual games for and us and fans were questioning what he had to do to get dropped.
Overall, Kavanagh did well for us (good dead-ball delivery) but I think his stock went up AFTER he left us, when it was reported he had sat in the dressing room in tears because he didn't want to leave us but was told he HAD to be sold to help the club's precarious financial situation.

Personally I think that stoke game really hurt him he was unbelievable that season

Shit out of that tackle with Roberts

Re: City players who have polarised opinion
FABIO - Christ what a terrible footballer - but he shouts at the crowd and has ''PASHUN'' so many think he's what we need. Worst left back we've had at the new stadium apart from Naylor. Oh, and Kennedy was pretty crap too
