Re: Sio Stat

Things are getting a bit desperate on here when we are arguing over 2 very average players.

Re: Sio Stat

Can you guess which one is which?

Yes, Buzby, I know which is which.

One had a decent season in the Championship by all accounts. The other was absolute garbage.

We had another player in our squad during 2024/25 who has made 86 appearances for his country and they are currently ranked 29th by FIFA. He was also useless.

It's a funny old game.

Re: Sio Stat

Is that the same Derby County who were allegedly really tough opponents during City's 'incredibly difficult' set of opening fixtures this season?

No one said Derby were good. They were the weakest team in a tough set of opening fixtures. It was not the best time to play them, though, while still confident following automatic promotion from League One. We were getting battered by Burnley (promoted), Leeds (promoted), Sunderland (playoff finalists), Boro, and had to play Swansea away. Who was it who said that's just an average set of fixtures?

Re: Sio Stat

I’m not a Sio apologists but this is a plainly stupid post.

One player has made 37 appearances for his country ranked 40th by FIFA and will play in the Champions League next season, and the other has played 26 times for his country who are ranked 126th.

Can you guess which one is which?

Exactly :thumbup:

That's like arguing that, say, John Collins was a better player than George Weah because he won fifty eight caps for Scotland, a country that was consistently higher in the FIFA rankings than Weah's was.

The point at issue here is who was a more effective Championship player last season, Ebou Adams or Manolis Siopis? I honestly cannot think of a legitimate criteria whereby it can be qrgued that it was Siopis.
