Does Balotelli exist to the other players?

[Damocles]

"Setting up a goal" = a sideways one yard pass?

Balo setup Balo's goal.

That 'mard arse moody winger' (he's a striker) has just won us a point, by the way.

played out on the left.

it's an assist whatever you try and deny.

we lost 2, maybe if he'd tracked back on the left and stopped the cross we'd have kept all 3 eh? so erm...yeah whatever.

No he didn't, when the goal went in, he was playing up front with Dzeko. Also, you are blaming Balotelli because he didn't defend well enough? He's a fucking striker!

i cant understand any of the stick tevez gets on here, what ever he is doing has made himm the most in form striker in the country since he joined us.

Balo is the ultimate vision of a cocky kid who needs a slap, he has all the ability yet none of the common sense to play a simple ball through for another. In that way Balo plays in the same way that gets Tevez called.

Why swing at a 30 yard shot in the last few mins when a simple through ball would have slotted Tevez through. He can be a quality player, but he has little concept of the team game.

for a kid who made a little dig at wilshire, he needs to prove it before mouthing off.

Exactly.

HE'S JUST WON THE FUCKING TREBLE, INCLUDING THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!

Oh yeah, remember the reason he was mouthing off at Wilshere? Because he'd just won the Balon D'or for under 21s.

Added to that, his goal record is currently the best at the club, having scored 9 in 11 starts.

What further proof do you need? All these international awards, trophies and goals are just shit. A great player needs to run around a bit. Not like Balo ran around today, but y'know, more....blatent.

It is happening mate, he always has to come and get the ball himself and like i said the main culprit is Tevez.

Look when Balo played without Tevez and had Silva behind him, he bagged a hatrick against villa.

It wont be all doom and gloom if Tevez leaves in the summer it will have its positives.

couldnt agree more, if the greedy argie goes we will be a better team, others will shine and goals will still come

I had this argument with our kid before today's game. Balotelli just needs time and somebody with vision passing him the ball occasionally...

 

[city-till-i-cry]

Probably will get a lot of stick for this but I want Tevez to leave in the summer.

Still pissed off with him with his transfer request back in December and if he doesn't want to be at the club then fuck him off!! And after recent comments of his Tosser of an agent aswell has pissed me off even more.

Don't get me wrong he is a great player but can be frustrating to watch, far too often tries to do everything on his own and majority of the time losses possession. He only wants to pass it if its Sliva or AJ.

I know he scores a lot of goals for us, but with players like AJ and Silva doing there thing. We can always find a replacement or if not im sure Edin and Balo will do the job in time.

So if he doesn't like, bye bye Carlos and thanks for the goals

To be honest, I think that the Tevez/Balo partnership has much more potential than Tevez/Dzeko or Dzeko/Balo, as they compliment each other very well.

Under no circumstances would it be a good idea to sell our leading goalscorer and a player who possesses the quality that Tevez does. I'd cut off my right arm to keep him, and I think he's a ****.

your so blind to the obvious that you dont even put an argument together. he was frozen out of the team from december onwards because of his attitude and performances.

the guy has potential no doubt, have we seen it. Very little. And he has got a horrible attitude. those are not opinions but proven facts. I hope he comes good, but i dont think we will see it at City.

 

[Lucky13]

Mancini on the radio, wasn't happy with Balotelli's lack of linking up with Tevez and Dzeko and playing for the team.

And you don't know what you're talking about. Balotelli played 40 games for Inter last year, including the CL semi final against Barca (which is where he had a bust up with Mourinho) which was in late April. His first bust up with him was in March of the same year.

You obviously are unsure on what a fact and an opinion is, if you believe the above to be a fact.

Could of been 11 in 11 if he was awarded the pen against County and didn't hit the post against Aris and all this Damocles without actually playing that well.

 

[WakeBlue]

Not so sure about the OP's point but I did notice that the ball wasn't passed quickly enough in Balo's direction. A number of times he started to make an angled run across the defensive line but the midfield - Barry in particular - was either too slow seeing the pass and Balo ran offside or they weren't even aware of his run. Something to work on in training.

Agree about Tevez too, when it doesn't come off he's a very frustrating player.

I have watched him a few times now and he loves to be on the shoulder of a defender and have a ball played through to him. The amount of times he started to make a run today and was ignored was rediculous, also id get pretty fed up sat on the wing if most balls i got was totally crap . Just give him some time and space and a chance.
