Is Mancini a bit biased toward Balo?

[cleavers]

On topic: yes, it is quite obvious that Balotelli has preferential treatment.

How is it obvious ?

Balotelli has started 2 games all season, Dzeko has started 7, preferential treatment for who ?

RM didn't have any choice there, Balotelli burned all the bridges for a while. Compare to Adebayor, for instance, how much is "too much", exactly?

I hope that you're pissed otherwise you're just plain stupid.

Can we fit that into his song - I must have missed the red-top articles, did he do it while we were all in Germany?

The "who the hell are you thread" is in off topic.

Repost your pic there fella.

Nice tash, is your monitor tasty?

I dont know if he is biased towards Balo, but he is definitely less critical of him than of Dzeko.

Today first half - Balo missed two clear cut chances.

If Dzeko did that - he'd be off at 50th minute (no later). But not Balo. So what happens? He scores.

That's where IMO Mancini is wrong with Dzeko - I dont think he is giving him a fair chance like he should - he has very little patience with him (if Dzeko screws up first one or two shots - he's gone off the pitch).

Is Dzeko the only reason you jumped on the City bandwagon?

FWIW, Dzeko has started all but two of our seven league games, Balotelli one.

And this is despite him being inferior to Balotelli in every department besides his aerial threat.

Dzeko has also proven he is no different to Balotelli in the professionalism stakes either, his self-indulgent strop in Munich removing his falsely earned perception as the consummate professional - he has previous in this respect during his time at Wolfsburg.

That has now removed any justification for him starting over Balotelli.

Balotelli has a superior touch, a superior strike, moves the ball much more efficiently and twice as quickly, and has vastly superior movement on and off the ball. He is the superior finisher and is a vastly more naturally gifted player.

Once Balotelli finds his form and maintains it, Dzeko won't get a sniff - and we'll be a better side for it.

It's also worth mentioning that despite Mario's unpredictable and often immature behaviour, he actually respects his manager, admires him even. I genuinely believe that we're seeing the beginnings of a fruitful relationship for Manchester City Football Club, and the blossoming of a incredibly talented young player, and it excites me.

By that stage Dzeko will be tripping over balls to his feet in the Bundesliga and you'll have denounced your 'support' of City in favour of his new club, or Real Madrid.

What a terrible and disgraceful post! Why do you have to trash Dzeko in order to like Balotelli? Why can't we root for Aguero, Balotelli, and Dzeko and not be against one just because you're a fan of another?

I seem to remember last year when Balotelli went 3 games without scoring that people were calling for him to be benched. Dzeko scored 4 against the Spurs and everyone was eating crow. Now that he's been scoreless for 3 consecutive matches, he's shit again. I've never seen a bunch of ungreatful fans like some on this forum. Thank God, most Blues don't feel that way because they were chanting for Dzeko today, and they should sing for Balotelli and AGuero and everyone else who puts on the colors and plays hard.

I would say this even if I wasn't Bosnian or a Dzeko fan. It is classless to root against your own player for no reason other than you don't like him.

You're a disgrace!

I think Mancini has played Mario with kid gloves since he came to the club. Young player in a new country he could of went off the rails at times and it showed last season with his reaction of being taken off.

This season I think Mancini has had a word with Mario time to grow up and be part of the team a lot more he has talent but if he cant focus then I cant see Mancini taking any of the stuff from last season this season. With the way Mancini handled Tevez I think the penny has dropped and he cant be seen taking the piss out of the manager or it could well be him next out of the club.
