Is Mancini a bit biased toward Balo?

[spike549]

I don't really care if BM does have a soft spot for some players. They are paid to do a job and if that means a win like today then soft spot away!!!

Because it's his job
Get the best out of all of the players, they're all individuals with their own needs and he has obviously sussed Mario out

Oh dear!

Quite. Isn't bobby going to be bias towards Balo simply because he bought him?
Have I missed something here? Has Balo done something wrong today? Not sure this thread has a point if I'm honest!!

Had Tevez done what Balotelli has done, he would still be playing for us. Had Balotelli done what Tevez did, he would now be suspended. No bias there.

This ^ Op didn't need to ask tbh anyone with a brain would come to the same logical conclusion Dave and i suspect everyone else did.

He may have a special relationship with him, but it comes down to results (bad ones) costing Mancini his job. What I mean by that is if Balo was playing shit and we were losing matches, Mancini isn't daft, he would drop him despite any 'special relationship.'

Looking at the amount of time Balo spends on the bench I'm going to go with ............ NO!

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.

why on gods earth have you started this thread ??

Just curious, no bad intention.

None taken bud, but Balo did very well today and wasnt petulant..I think bob always knew that he would start to come around..Herman, Bye Bye, and the Blender have always been and always will be out for themselves.
Balo is a puppy thats been chewing the furniture and pooping on the carpet but is growing out of it..The others are old dogs that cant be taught new tricks.

Oh it has a point alright, its quite typical of many others that seek to stir something up. Until today the "bias" had Balotelli with less time on the pitch than Tevez, most blues would know this.

Great analogy.
