it was an awful pass, he is starting look as if he has lost interest and seems so much slower than other pl midfielders
In reality it's probably not very much fun going from playing in a good team, relative to the level you're at, and being better than most of your opponents, to playing for a bunch of shithouses getting spanked every week.

Nonsense, he’s playing at a higher level and he obviously doesn’t take great care of himself so is going to get found out.

Developed into a more all round sportsman.
He's read that book about the 1990s Sky Blues, "When the Sky was Blue" and taken an interest in Paul Telfer's way of playing. I.e. more interested in golf than football

Was he ever up to dive down in the first place? I mean when he left there was a load of moaning and gnashing of teeth, but he couldn't even get in our relegated side.
Seems his career has always been a bit Emperor's new Clothes.
I think it was because he'd been in Villa's academy?

He came to us at U15 I think after being released there. Mowbray talked him up a lot, nearly as much as Maddison!
"
I think Liverpool took him on trial whilst he was with us too - a la Connor Thomas
The sum of that equation is that he doesn’t look half the player that he did with us.
Said that when there was the video of him doing shots with city fans.
Compare his fitness to some of the PL elite and he's miles off. In the championship he had the ability to not be the fittest player.

He was way fitter than most other players in the Championship. One if his greatest assets was his energy and his ability to go box to box is what we really miss now.
Bryan Robson was renowned for drinking a lot yet he covered more ground than virtually any other player. At that age it is possible to get away with an unhealthy lifestyle if you are naturally fit. Not that I know anything or care about Hamer's lifestyle.
Big shout that is. The same O'Hare who is just recovering from a totally fucked knee....and the same Allen that has just missed 4 months with a heart issue? To be fair, Bidwell looks like he does those stupid mud runs people do for fun.
Wilson on the Fozcast (Ben Fosters podcast) hints that whilst Gus was a great player for us his lifestyle and food choices weren’t great but his ability meant that he walked the league. Vik on the other hand was a model pro.
Also says McFadz is thick as mince. It’s a decent listen.
Ostigaard playing for Napoli regularly now. When he elwas mentioned in this thread people tried to put him down lol. Odd move they said ha
As someone who watches Serie A, they have two fit CBs and a 17yo kid on the bench, Juan Jesus and Rrahmani are both injured
Earlsdon_Skyblue1 was worried that Ostigard maybe wasn't a very good player, fortunately he doesn't have to wonder any longer.
You've just bumped a comment from a year and a half ago...
I liked him, just thought he got a bit too big for his boots at the time. Considering he spent a long time on the bench, that was a fair comment.
Isn't he in the team at the moment due to injuries anyway?
Ostigard just put Napoli 1-0 up against Real Madrid!
As someone who watches serie a I can tell you he is playing for the champions domestically and in Europe.
Not a bad move from Stoke city.
Your point is fair, it's light hearted on my behalf. He's just scored against Real Madrid tonight so doing pretty well.
