Is Mancini a bit biased toward Balo?

[dctid]

From Bellamy, Robinho, Ade and now Tevez. (Dzeko to some extent)
It seems Mancini always has a soft spot for Balo. No matter what Balo does.

errrr yes but so what - thought Dixon got it right today about Balloes attitude maybe he has turned a corner

You go out of your way on every thread to trash Dzeko but you're nowhere to be found when he scores goals. You say it's because you don't like bandwagon fans who started rooting for City when Dzeko joined the club. Fine, let's all put it to a vote on the forum, if the moderators will allow, and I will be the first one to leave if I'm not welcome here.

I think I've been more than reasonable and objective and never talk bad about any players, not even Tevez. I was truly happy with today's performance even though Dzeko didn't play.

However, the hate that is on here about Dzeko ever since the first "touch of an elephant" thread is amazing. If anyone is a gloryhunter, it is these "football manager" geeks who expect a striker to score every game or else he's shit \

Mate you are welcome with open arms but you must understand we support a club, not a player.

We are born with it and stick with it through thick and thin, we have no choice, we are City fans, players come and go, we don't.

Show me two posts where i slate Dzeko.

I think he is a superb player and was posting in the threads telling his "haters" to apologise at the start of the season. You have a clue flower.

This is what I'm on about, if someone disagrees with anything, it's all about "hating" Dzeko. I like the player but I hate the baggage he brings with him on here.

You simply don't get it do you. We are City fans. Players will come and go (with some of you) but we with always support OUR club. The club we ginand watch home and away, the club our earliest childhood memories go back to. The club where after a good win we wish lost family and friends were still around we could talk to them about how the good times are here.

You simply don't get that or understand it. Its more than a Religion.

It's not about any one player. I never ever slate City players, as the forum, I'm a paid up member of the "happy clappers" but i am able to be objective and see strengths and weaknesses in our players and make judgements based on why I see in the flesh (not on a stream). Some of you are blikerednto the point of blindness.

Yes, strange indeed. Meaning no other warnings, everything's just dandy?

Yep. Of course posters can always report posts they feel need to be addressed...

I think the banned bback is upset with my vicious sarcasm.

Sorry that I have not quite learnt how to quote 'SWP's Back', but I believe he is a Dzeko critic (at times), with which I agree.

I love Dzeko, his personality, work rate, team skills, intelligence, finishing ability. However, I do think his ability is vastly limited. He is ridiculously inconsistent, many games it looks as though he struggles to control a simple forward pass (Napoli and Fulham most glaringly).

If not on form he offers no threat whatsoever because he has no turn of pace. He relies highly on the team to provide him with goal scoring chances regularly.

The next person to point to the resting of Dzeko against Wigan for his lack of form must surely lose all credibility. So what? He missed one game? He played 3 days later against Napoli!! Arghhh, ludicrous, madness, bizzare!

Show me where I criticise Dzeko's play.


You won't be able to as I haven't. My crime is rating Balotelli as having greater ability.

Your post history would actually suggest that you rate Dzeko more than Balotelli, at least you had until recently.

Who cares? Every manager will have their favorites and as long as it doesn't result in alienation of other good players (meaning dont come back arguing about Bellamy and co) then so be it.

Hard to say he favours the lad as he sat him for the first 6 games of the season. Balo has had to knuckle down, work his bollocks off in training and prove he deserves a chance in the team.

His few performances so far this season show me that Bob has it spot on when it comes to managing Balo, he has been excellent when he has played.

Heres the thing that matters to me (and will matter big time if we are to make a sustained push at the title)....when players like Dzeko and Aguero go off the boil (which they seem to be doing just a little bit of late), Balo is able to step in and get the job done. If we can have a continual cutting edge up front throughout the season, we might just win the fucking thing.
