Beam!

When I told people Laporte is just as important van dijk as he is for Liverpool people laughed at me.

[mohammedfaiisal]

He is as important to city as van dijk is to Liverpool. If laporte was fit then city would be easy closer to Liverpool but if van dijk missed the same number of games then city would be ahead

[yahyazaroug]

He's got that VVD EFFECT for man city

[conor]

Fernandinho is very underrated, and this is a United fan talking.

[Ninja-gtzi]

Laporte will be a key factor in helping city get ucl football next year

"the team plays better when better players play"
shocking

[yunusk]

Micah Richards, got it spot on when he said Fernandinhio‘s more mobile than Rodri

[jaykafei]

Always annoys me when pundits really criticise the Man city players this season after what has happened the last two years. As Jamie says, it is inevitable (especially when your best defenders leave and get injured) that eventually there will be a drop-off of form. The same will inevitably happen with Liverpool in a year or two, it is impossible to keep that level of intensity for such a continued amount of time. They have still been very good and second place to the Liverpool side of this year is no shame. When Roy Keane, Craig Burley etc. keeps going on about Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham all being terrible and disappointing and should in the top 4, they do realise there are only 4 places don't they?

is micha richards ever not on tv these days

[Callumh.]

There’s more fans in the stadium here then the actual game

[he]

He's only 25 years old as well! Looks 32

[khalidsparrow]

Of course city are struggling this year. From laporte/kompany to stones and otamendi. Fernandinho did a better job and he's a bloody DM.

[cuongtruong]

Richards didn't answer either of the first two questions.

[chaz]

I still think city at their best are better than liverpool at their best.

[richardkelbie]

Guy loved a Mars bar. Could have been a decent player micah

[Gladiator]

man shitty CHEATED SINCE 2012 and now it's actually coming out, they should be stripped of everything they've won ( FACT ) I actually feel for the clubs who was relegated because of there CHEATING WAYS ( DISGUSTING )

[liamt]

In my opinion he's better then vvd if he stayed fit the hole season I believe city win the league
