I thought he did ok in the first half, got into some good positions. Not really surprising that he lacked sharpness. If he'd been subbed at half time I'd have thought was a useful work out as he stepped up his fitness.
Baffling that he stayed on for 90mins. I'm a Mancini fan but what on earth was he thinking? I've thought for a while that City fans had unrealstic expectations about how long it would take Balotelli to settle in. Its taken Silva 2 months to get used to the PL and he hasnt been injured. I just assumed that Mancini would ease him in gradually. Totally mystifying.
