JO
Yes, the 21 year old Brazlian international with more champions league experiance then the rest of our strikers combined, who was roundly made a scapegoat after starting just 13 games.
So a manager who has been in the Premiership for the most of his career needs time but young players coming into the league dont get any time.
In the 13 prem games Jo played we won 7 drew 3 lost 3. Two of the three losses were Chelsea and Liverpool, hardly his fault. Further in those 13 games we scored 27 goals, including 13 in 7 away games. Why is this, is it because Jo was rubbish? I think not.
People go on about "Berbaflop", truth is the difference in the Derby was that they has a good target man to win and hold the ball up before laying it off. Both their goals, Ronaldo hitting the post, all came from his play. He doesnt score many, or grab headlines, but he lets the others play.
In Jo's 13 games, 11 different players scored goals.. why? Because he did the simple things, he got the ball, held it up when needed, and linked up play. Shame most of the cretins who support city, and the cretins who manage the club cant see this.
