Ballotelli

[Esteban de la Sexface]

Dont worry Damocles...these folks will be eating humble pie mark my words, Balo is 5 times the player that Hernandez is and when it comes(and it will) the premier league and some Blues will have to take notice.

He's five times the player MOST players are. Could have had two in ten minutes.

Those city fans slagging him on his debut don't deserve him.

this kind of pro Balotelli propaganda makes me piss. He needs to be loved to score goals.. he gets paid fucking very well to at least make an effort. Which he didn't do today... Cardinal sin in my eyes.

I'll go out on a limb and say he'll be back in Italy on the 1st of January. Quote me on that.

Wouldnt it be great to have the power to just go up to this fella and say if you play like that again you can f**k off back to Italy. After that game I'd love to sack him. Knee jerk I know but Im fucked off with these prima donnas taking us for a ride. Never seen a worst debut in my life....and still stay on the field.

That's the spirit! First full game in England and this is the famous Manchester City welcome.

You're right, he might get injured.
Otherwise you're talking poo.

I thought he had terrible debut but that doesn't make him a terrible player. I blame Mancini as much for his performance as it was obvious he was fucked and when you're tired your passes are underhit and or wayward. He wasn't going to get any better and should have been subbed at 60 mins.

He may indeed be a great player but I think he needs to get match practise from the bench to improve his fitness and give him confidence.

Don't worry, I will do :-)

I think some are going over the top with criticism. However, with all the hype I would have expected at least one or two glimpes of this supposed mecurial talent at some point in the 90 mins. Thrashing at the ball from 30 or 40 yards out straight into the wolves defence and giving away the ball on numerous occasions because you are unaware of the game around you just didnt fill me with confidence.

Hope you're right Damocles, I really do.

You sir are a **** of the highest order. Fuck off back to Italy with that shit.

You're not any better with that Italy-bashing racist shit you come up with there!

did i miss a previous comment by bylorblue or are you calling him racist for telling somebody to fuck of to italy?

I know it sounds daft, but we have to support this guy after the trauma that he received in Italy.

This is one of those situations whereby the fans decide the fate of a player. If we slate him, he'll feel unloved, angry and will prbably retire.

HOWEVER, if we how him a better way forward, a City way, whereby we support out lads, this kid will pay you back with Ballon'Dors and World Player of the Years. That is seriously how good he is.

I don't believe you but it's up to him to prove it basically.
