when someone turns around and says/writes...."it pissed me right off" then it clearly si about personnel feelings..if not why put it?!?!?!?
and so because a player has a down turn in performance then we shoulg get rid?.....then by you reckoning we should be again changing half the team who have been way below par this season....yaya, aguero kompany (and if you listen to pundits, joe hart)......players form will vary for many reasons......and this is my point balotellis form has been poor for periods...(but against utd he was our best attacking player int he first half) and played well vs wigan (where he scored)........but overall not very good ill agree. BUT this is no reason to get rid of him..he is clearly a very talented player who with time we can help develop into a world class player....he has all the attributes and skill to and if he can focus (and this is mancinis criticism of him) he will achieve this.......BUT we have time to let this happen.......why does it have to be this season, or te next game etc.....you see this with some of the comments on match threads...."this is his last chance, etc.....why...?
Im sure it pissed every city fan off
Why should we get rid? The majority of the game he has played hes underperformed, only won 33% of the matches hes started in, attempts to take the club to a fucking tribunal, everytime he plays he looks like he will get sent (and usually does) and hes on massive wages yet plays a limited role in the team something the ex Barca men will be looking to sought out.
And against Wigan yes he scored but imo he didnt play well and against United best attacking player? why was he taken off then in the second half? and why did we look so much better when he went off?
in those matches which balo has playued and we havent won are you saying its all his fault? or is it more realistically that the team didnt playu well on some of those occaisions, bad refereeing decisions, poor tactics by mancini.....many possible reason
the tribunal thnig...huge mistake by mario BUT the club weregoing against regulations and by all accounts (please correct me if Im wrong but Im sure i read iot on here) that MArio wouldhave probably won his case but was advised not to go on with it and therefore didnt but Im guessing it was his decsion not to...a sign of a slightly maturing player who wants to try and get back onside with the fans/club???????
his role has been limited......manager not picking him, injured.....like i said we can afford to be patient and if he was late 20's id agre with you but if he develops in the next few years he could save us millions as well
taken off cause Mancini, not for the first time let his temper get the better of him....mario tried a couple of flicks in quick succession but they failed to come off and mancini quicklyu lost it...not for the first time.....his perfomance however in the first half was much better than any other of the attacking players and if ageuro had controlled the pas that mario slipped through for him it could have been a very different story...balo was the only one casuing utds defense any problems
