Buvey: he's just not good enough 🗿
God comment
City would win the treble without Haaland? WORST TAKE EVER. As a City fan, I want to let everyone know that not all of our fans lack this much sense & knowledge
Strange guy
They never won the CL before so
the treble does not happen without haaland
People always magically forget how good he was in many crucial games in the treble winning season. Played amazing against Arsenal both home and away. Also he scored 2 and assisted 1 against Bayern in the quarterfinals.
Nice to see someone actually understand how great Grealish is lol
Most people who actually watch football do, it’s just the saddos with no life that just sit on social media that think he isn’t good
@@Lkkdjs true Twitter fans are the worst lol
he really is not
@@user-bq2tc6dh6tyou probably think doku is better huh
@@Sleepys._. neither both do bugger all, grealish can win a couple of fouls a game big deal
Finally a JLA video with actual positivity about city in it
first in channel history!
😂 I’m glad people have learned that James is a lowkey city hater
@@fader1912nothing low key about it, just obvious tears
Most people are city haters, hard to like cheats
@@alexmaggs3461 jealous
There is no way City win that treble without Haaland.
City fan here, you’re so right
honestly think we might..
his record in big ucl games isnt great
and most of the carrying has been by kev bernie and the defenders
@@mozkebab8260 You don't win the treble just from the big ucl games, you need to win pretty much every single game leading up to it, which haaland provided with his goals
@@alfiegoff96 city have been winning ucl games consistently before him with Jesus up top
They just crack under pressure in the big games, especially defensively, which the senior players have now overcome
Don’t get me wrong I love haaland and I’m very on the fence about this argument
I’m just entertaining the thought
@@mozkebab8260 he scored 2 and assisted 1 in the tie against Bayern in the UCL quarterfinals. We don't get past Bayern without his contribution
1:00 Jimbo, don’t think we didn’t hear you almost say that Joe Rogan was playing between the City sticks.
had the same thought
It’s the spotify effect😵💫
Buvey: I’ve based this list only on quality alone nothing else
Also Buvey: Scott Carson has to be above people like Torres because he brings vibes
Important context on Kalvin: he immediately got injured and was out for the first half of his debut season, never getting that important bedding in period. Not saying it would’ve worked out, but it’s only fair to mention (not that Buvey has ever worried about being fair, bless him)
Bravo was god-awful. Not just the fact that he let every shot in he faced (I think it was genuinely 60% at one point at the start of the season), but he also couldn't play with his feet under pressure, which was the one thing he was brought in to do.
@StephenC-cf7yz That isn’t really what happened. City didn’t even sign Bravo until a few weeks into the season because all of the real targets fell through (which has also happened to Pep’s main targets in almost every position since he’s been at City) So they signed an older, cheaper stopgap solution which failed miserably and then found an actual long term answer at GK the next season. Bravo played out his whole contact and in later seasons as a number 2 GK Bravo actually put in some very good performances and helped City win some trophies so he ended up being a decent signing. But even as bad as Bravo was that first season, the change from Hart was still needed ASAP so Pep could start the process of re-shaping City in his own image.
@StephenC-cf7yz £180m for Gundogan, Jesus, Sane, Stones, Zinchenko, and Bravo really was a fantastic transfer window. Inflation only made those deals look better and better as time went on. Pep rebuilt the roster almost entirely around young players so that they would retain and even increase their value over time. This group of players basically paid for themselves once Sane, Jesus and Zinchenko were sold and Sane would have gone for closer to 100m if he hadn’t done his ACL. Gundogan and Stones are legends of the club.
Buvey is right Scott Carson as a third choice keeper is there cause they won’t play and are there to bring good energy to the club
Enjoyed this cheers for having me on!
Ruben Dias has got to be the defender with the most impact on his first season ever in the 21st century. All of Man City's exits in the Champions League were to be blamed on their abysmal defences, and Ruben Dias came and got them STRAIGHT to their first UCL Semi Finals ever, and then Finals too! Went to another UCL Semi Finals next year, and then a Historic Treble the following year, keeping the Most No. of Clean Sheets in each competitions along the way! Rodri was much more important and the most imp. player in 2022/23 season, but from 2020/21 (when Dias was signed), I think his impact has been way higher till 2023/24 than Rodri. I honestly think the rankings should have been:
1) Ruben Dias: Best Defender itw since 2020.
2) Bernardo Silva: You wouldn't have won any big game without him.
3) Ilkay Gundogan: Most clutch Man City player ever.
4) Rodri: Most dominant & best player itw for the longest period, but wasn't world class before 2021/22.
@@vellaaatma4441 honestly respect your take and it is completely valid
but the levels rodri is showing are quite simply mind boggling
city's record with and without him should tell you enough but to be byy far the best in your position in the world and give historic all timers a run for their money is the level we are talking about here
love ruben and think he gets a lot of stick by rival clubs who would kill to have him in their teams
but rodri is undeniably the best player in the world rn, but as a 6 will never get his flowers
@@mozkebab8260 Also I genuinely can't remember a time when Rodri had a bad game, and this season Dias has actually had plenty unfortunately. No out and out howlers, but even when I only get a chance to watch the highlights, I always think that a Saliba or a van Dijk would've prevented that goal, whereas Dias has either lost his man or is at least the nearest defender, but can't stop a goal happening (It's not just his pace either). Has had a season or two of being world class, but now I think he's in that category just below, there's a reason he's not in anyone's world XIs these days
Buvey is up there with McKola as one of the absolute worse “football YT influencers” lol always spewing absolute nonsense just to get the viral clips. Should’ve gotten Ciaran Carlin instead tbh
Or big steve or Steven. Any of those 3. All though I think get Ciaran to concentrate for the full video might be tough
McKola, Rory, Buvey are all some of the densest fools I've ever listened to and I wish never to do so again
As a City fan Buvey’s talked a lot of bollocks in this vid about (among others) Nunes, Kovacic, Bravo to an extent, probably Torres and Zinchenko but I do mostly agree with him on Grealish, and unusually found myself disagreeing a lot with James on Ake who I think he’s criminally underrating
Buvey is a little too harsh on some of the players, Nunes and especially Kovacic have been decent when they have played but because they don't play often enough they don't catch the rhythm of games
This didn't aged well, Doku was man of the match yesterday. It's a joke to putt him this low
Still stands. He's okay but you can't trust him. As a fellow city fan he is that low currently. You can't use games vs luton and Bournemouth to make your decisions
@@Danieleinad3 sure man, imagine the narrative if he scored against Tottenham and liverpoool ( twice post) ' he loses the ball" , then what does Foden do? that guy loses the ball more than anyone i ve seen ( he is rlly good don't get me wrong)
@@tommytommy7535 ???
Buvey makes it clear he hasn't been a city supporter all that long, no matter if he claims otherwise.
absolutely hilarious way to be speaking if he was supposedly such a longtime supporter, massively entitled
The way Buvey talks about his team’s players is the exact kind of way I’d expect a Man City fan to. Little playthings until they wobble a little bit, then they’re just discarded in favour of the shiny new thing. Have some respect fella
Man city fan here. You are not alone in not liking him.
He’s too spoilt by success. Been like that for years now
City fan here also. We don’t like him because he genuinely doesn’t have a clue about any of the nonsense he says
ahahahhahahah have you never meet a real madrid fan????
Man City fan here, if you want an actual opinion on city transfers. Go to It’s LB or Esteemed Kompany
Both of them saying Mahrez had to be in the premier league all time players too 20 is just ridiculous. I can name 5-10 better from city alone.
Horrendous take on Kovacic.
Big true, Kova has quality
Kovacic is massively overrated
If Bevey says "Trebble winning campaign" one more time, I'm going to scream.
Kalvin above Bravo?!!! Bravo was the cup GK at a point and he's won cups.
Agreed tbf Bravo once no longer asked to be first choice was perfectly solid good at the odd pen Kalvin cost three times as much and has had so little impact unfortunately
This aged so bad about Kovacic. Kovacic has done so much for us since this came out lol
I don’t understand Jim’s opinion on Ake. Easily been the best LB in the PL for two seasons going, statistically a monster of a player. Arguably the player of the season for City behind Haaland and Rodri last year in a treble season. He’s overall been a better player than Akanji and Laporte, for example. He’s so underrated. I don’t understand why he gets slept on as a player.
Is it literally just because he was signed from Bournemouth? While he’s obviously the greatest player we’ve ever had, I see him doing exactly what he does for us for City. Such a reliable tackler, dominant in the air, pops up with important goals. Completely controls the left flank defensively. I’d have thought Jim would be more of a fan tbh.
Bournemouth fan here. Agreed, he's still so underrated despite being instrumental to City's success last season. He's also a very professional, understated personality, which I think also gets him overlooked - he's not flashy.
Best LB in the Prem???? Are you out of your mind
@@georgeskinner3217 Over the last two seasons, yeah. Who was a better left back the year that they won the treble? Offer a counter argument, and we can talk.
@@diabeetus_9837 Defensively all teams target Ake because he is the weakest point in city’s defence. Most games city lose go through him. Hes also a center back so he’s not great going forward. Robertson and Robinson are both superior going forward and more robust and quick players. Even Chilwell could do a job for city at left back.
@@georgeskinner3217 I don’t agree with this. I’ve never noticed a pattern of teams targeting Ake at all, and if they did, it’s strange that Pep chose to start him in every important game, and even when not quite fit would often bring him on specifically for his defensive capabilities. City fans completely shit the bed every time he was injured last season lol, he was their best defender in the most important matches consistently.
Sure, as an attacking left back he’s not the best of the best. But his partnership with Grealish was good, allowing him to stay up higher and not worrying about defending as much. I never claimed he was the best attacking left back, but I think his defending and role in the best team in the history of the PL, more than makes up for it to call him the best overall left back.
Also, he’s got more goals than Robinson and still has a couple of assists. He has fewer unsuccessful touches and a higher pass accuracy (also bottom 3 in the city squad), implying once again that he’s safer on the ball and the last choice to be pressed in the defence.
Robertson is obviously a better attacking left back than Ake, but that’s not the point I’m making. Defensively Ake shits all over Robertson.
He rarely gets dribbled past, gives the ball away, is tackled, or loses aerial duels, as shown by stats. I don’t know what you’re watching if you think he’s a defensive weak link lol.
As a city fan this guy should never be allowed to do this again, the man’s a fool
City fan here. Can’t stand buvi
Nobody does. Don’t get how he has any type of platform
City fan too. I think Buvey can be entertaining, but i genuinely question if he actually watches City matches. Awful takes. He's like a Steve Coogan character
Nice to see some respectful City fans here 🙏
I’d love James to get ty on and rank arsene wenger signings, but he has to take everything ty says seriously and go along with it like he’s a sane person.
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy, let alone a good guy like James
24:46 Buvey as a fellow cityzen I have to disagree with this one. Doku is part of a post-pep plan. I feel like you don’t like a lot of the 23/24 signings, but you have to take into account that they are all in their first season and they will adapt and become crucial to the team. When it comes to Doku I feel like end product is the main issue, but in buildup he’s much better.
Erling goals dont matter? i understand why Adam is saying Mancity will win the treble without him, but the thing is they didn't without him. and Erling was the UEFA player of the year. sorry just saying
Buvey talks and I just switch off mate 😅
Probably not the best video to tune in for then 😂
@@Flynny009 I clicked off about 30 seconds into buvey waffle 🤣
Buvey is such a disgrace.
He is saying Gareth Barry has more rhythm to play than Mateo Kovacic.
WTF
Great video. Shoutout mahrez and sane
What planet did Buvey come from?
The same planet as Harry Maguire
Land before time mate
Good video, enjoyed this.
Saying that price is irrelevant and “ abstract”, and then bringing up the price that kalvin Philips was bought for on the NEXT player talked about, is the most Buvey thing..
couldn't disagree more about kovacic he's been great AND he was free.
come on man. This guy is such a toxic prat. Saying that Zinchenko cant possibly be a leader because "he was crying on tv", while his country was in a war. Get these "tough guys" out of here. They deserve no platform
Yeah Alvarez up there for me as well, also cos his goal knocked my country Australia out of the World Cup aha..
I completely disagree with city winning treble without Haaland, but agree with a lot of what buvey said
doku to me, like your describing, is like haaland, except it was more the first 25-30 games he was banger, since then it feels like hes been a bit figured out
I think Bernardo and Gundo were better signgings than Stones and Dias. Both individually cheaper, Gundo had more longevity and was captain for the treble seasons, Bernardo versatility just insane and never got injured which cannot be said for Stones and Dias. Thats not to say Dias won't overtake them later though.
Buvey and James forgot about Zack Steffen
Theres a good article out on Calvin Phillips time at city.
I’m not allowing him to take boovy’s slander.
Kalvin Phillips was a horrible signing through and through. Rico Lewis was a better dm than him. Embarrassing
How old is Buvey to remember Nicky Weaver? we clown on him for supporting since 2011 but seriously here.
Could you add timestamps for each player for vids like this please
The amount of adverts on this is a joke James
Not world class yet? He won the World Cup. That should prove how good he is. He isn't starting only because he doesn't fit the role that Pep needs right now.
Most players that win the world cup aren’t world class. Forest have Montiel, very much not world class.
Buvey is such a weapon. HITC Sport fired him so fast
It’s testament to how bad Bravo was that he’s BELOW MENDY😂
Angeliño wasn’t a pep signing
Hi Jimbo, I'm a Charlton fan and I can't do this anymore. Currently on 19 draws, the most in England's top leagues. We have League 1s top goalscorer, meaning if we've scored, its been the same bloke doing it, and if he scores we know its going to get cancelled out, plus he'll inevitably leave at the end of the season. We're actually in a worse spot next season, after this one may as well have not happened. As a result and a potential new bit, I'm wandering what you, Flav, and the sluggies would think is the best best way to off yourself so it has a positive impact on the football club. Research purposes only... for now
John Stones starts like 10 games a season
Doku and kovacic kind of shut you down with that game vs luton
Its Luton mate.
Luton have defended well against every orker team
@@nokokokko Took you 6 days to come up with a response and its so funny you've said that just after they've conceded 5 against Brentford. They literally have the second worst defence in the league and ship goals for fun.
@nokokokko brother they are ahite defensively. Have you seen their GA?
Buvey saying Zinchenko misplaces passes and he does it
*"The guy was god awful, a disgrace to football, his family, and I never want to see his face again"* How I feel when I see a Buvey video
Should of got a city fan on for this.
Underrated comment
Stones, Rodri, Mahrez, Grealish and many others had dodgy first seasons under Pep before blossoming. For that reason you cannot rate Doku, Nunes or Kovačić until the end of next season or before if Pep does a Kalvin Phillips and stops playing them.
Never change Buvey
The Ake disrespect.
Any city fan worth his salt knows that the guy has been a massive player and signing for us. So rarely exposed, so much control.
His impact is greater than Super Jack just cause he is Mr Consistent
If Rodri plays against Chelsea in the champions league final city would have been 2x champs
Bravo was nowhere near as bad as made out just had a very rough start that people never got over
Bravo was interesting. I was hopeful when he first arrived, but that 2016/17 season was infuriating, so many bad goals. I don't even think Onana's performances this season were as bad as Bravo.
You're way off on Kovacic though @Buvey. He's been good overall
Nunes... It is fucking first season... This guy
he’s not ranking it for 10 years time mate he’s ranking it rn
Skipping mendey was a good idea
Make sure you check out both pods with Buvey! He’s awesome 👏🏻 ❤
No thanks
Gary Neville was decent, but never better than Kyle Walke
Kova rating was a mistake
When all you can do is talk in superlatives, all you do is boring and hollow. For Buvey there is nothing between the worst and the best in the world. It is unbearable.
Haaland should go to Madrid for sure he’d be very suited for them in cl
Yeah but even their salary budget isn’t endless. If they sign Mbappe i doubt they can get Haaland
With all due respect
33 signings in 7 1/2 years jeez
Less than five signings a season. Its not a lot
Mendy should’ve been the worst on the whole “shark team” thing alone
Top 3 has to be:
1. Rodri 2. Silva 3. Gundogan
JLA has more talent in his little toe than Buvey 😜
Buvey hasn’t got a clue
Buvey really has some of the most infuriating takes on football... he sometimes sounds a bit entitled
It doesn't matter if City sign players who aren't up to scratch, because of the financial doping involved. It just means they sell them back into the market or let them rot. This guy is actually agreeing this is the case as well from what he was saying about Doku. He's not even been at the club twelve months and he's hinting at getting rid of him, it's hysterical. Phillips' career was ruined at City as he didn't start a match until January after injury and apparently being overweight (Pep criticized him in the media), having signed him the summer just gone, and didn't start his first league match until the last home game of the season. How are footballers to prove their worth if they never start? Personally, I think he was bought just to fill the home grown quota, and was basically just used. Laporte was very good, but not a better centre back than Virgil, that is just laughable. He's now playing in the Saudi league at the age of 29, where the vast majority of players in this position are in their prime. Three of his five full seasons in the Prem, saw his appearances curtailed to playing no more than sixteen matches in any of them due to injury and bad form. Virgil is basically made of tougher and classier stuff. Sane is also not a better footballer than Saka. He was mentally fragile, and another example of City selling on as they didn't scout his personality properly. Saka has won two consecutive Arsenal player of the Season awards and is still improving. He took a pop at Kovacic and Torres, both are much better players than he makes out. This City fan is quite deluded and obviously just doesn't understand that most clubs cannot sell or discard their players, due to a temporary drop in form or any other reason. Sounds very entitled to me.
Think it’s harsh on Ferran Torres
How was Nolito not #33?
Laporte should be higher
Bravo still traumatizes me
mahrez ?
I love stones but there’s not a chance he is a better signing than Dias Gundo or Bernardo. All 3 of those world class every year, we can’t forgot stones’ poor seasons in 2020
Dias is having a poor season this season
Gundo, Bernardo and Dias have all had a poor season as well?
@@joshjmc1787 Gundo and Bernardo have never had poor seasons. They've had seasons where they went under the radar but weren't poor.
I wonder where from Manchester he’s from then
You don’t have to be from a particular area to support a certain club, football is a worldwide game and has been for decades
@@killthomas8373 Of course that’s true. Just ruins the game for local clubs and the sport in general
@@killthomas8373true but he’s english so he just supports a big club because trophies are the only thing that matters
Phillips is a Championship player at best. Pep didn't want him.
at best? so he is like swansea standard?
@@user-bq2tc6dh6t on current form he wouldn't even get in there
The PGMOL must be up there surely
Zach steffan?
Mendy was proven innocent, right? I thought he was a quality player on his day. His crossing on that left foot was brilliant!!
Nunes has been there 6 months, relax.
Who is this guy? Please tell me he doesn't make money speaking about football. The world's gone mad.
why are they wearing headphones
Grealish is so lucky he’s a talented footballer cuz that dude is operating on his final brain cell
Ferran Torres too low.
Ikr? He was one of city’s best players a couple years ago.
Edit: ok probably not one of their best players but definitely one of their best attackers before his move to Barca
@@gtavpodiumvehicle8165Looool no. he does have him VERY low but he was very average. Had some good moments that some people remember like a hat trick v Newcastle but wasn’t special
He's one of the most overrated players I've ever seen. I still don't know what he offers
Laporte was not better than Van Dijk, what a load of waffle lol
Horrendous take on nunes how can you say he’s not good on the eye 😂
Cancelo should be higher imo
As much as I like Mahrez he should not be in most people's top 20 Premier league players of all time. Amazing player but terrible take
Your content is great but I genuinely refuse to watch anything with Buvey in it. Bin him
Im a Villa fan, Grealish is one of my favorite players buy you guys just prop him up because he’s a good lad. Yes, he’s got intangibles, but “Doku can’t do what he does”?. Might be the other way around. UCL vs Madrid, Grealish misses several shots badly. Doku comes in an creates a tying goal. FA cup semi, he comes in after after Grealish and creates the DeBruyne chance that led to the Bernardo goal. You guys just have a mancrush on Grealish.
City play their very best football when Grealish is on the pitch. Been a huge miss this season with his injury record.
god buvey irritates me with his negativity
"Doku nowhere near Grealish level"
Good god...
Terrible take
(City fan)
Really? Perfect Take (city fan)
@@jozio3306 check the highlights from yesterday
What
If you think doku is anywhere close to as good as grealish, I feel incredibly sorry for you. They are miles and miles apart.
With all due respect to doku (as buvey would say)
Grealish is so much better than Doku it's not even close
