Johnson MUST replace Balotelli

Another goal today from the bench from Johnson, another toys out of the pram petulant display from Balotelli.

No doubt Balotelli has talent, but Johnson is not only playing better but will put in more for our club, and is less of a red card risk every week.

Balotelli needs to improve his attitude or fuck off.

If Johnson doesn't replace him, he is going to fuck off to another club and I would hate to lose one of England's brightest young stars for the sake of stroking Balotelli's over-inflated ego.

Yes, AJs 4 goals in 30 games are much better for the team than Balos 5 goals in 7 games

 

[bluemoon32]

Can't see Balotelli ever changing, which is a shame as he'll never achieve what he could have in the game if he doesn't change

Johnson is going nowhere. He's not that daft. Today showed again how bringing him on from the bench is the best way to use Jinky right now. Balo is a phenomenal talent who is barely out of nappies and has started less than 5 games in the prem, he's finding his feet and will get better and better.

Thread, set, and match to Damocles

Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course but looking at the table Mr Mancini seems to be doing something right with regard to team selection, so if he wants to pick Jo or Balotelli or anyone else that's fine by me.

It took Silva something like 10 games to get used to the prem, lets at the very least give Balotelli the same amount of games before judging him.

Gone are the days where I care who stays or goes. If you are good enough for this project and willing to be part of the squad - you stay if not then see you later. AJ is not a different player than Ballo and it would have been nonsense to have started with him, when Tevez is not available.

Ballo will come good it is just that some of you do not like to see something different so will take you time to realise that he his 20 years old and the manager will work the kinks out of the attitude.

 

[brian the blue]

No. He really MUST NOT.

If Balo had put his first one away today he would have got about 2 or 3.

He lost his temper in the second half to his performance dropped.

Balo won't play much in the role he did today when Tevez is back. He will go out to Jo's position and he should find it a bit easier.

You can't say Johnson deserves a start from scoring a one on one late on in the game when we were 2-0 up, thats all he did in the half an hour he was on the pitch.

I agree, he is really talented. But you can be the best on talent alone. He will be a player that will always p!ss opponents off as he comes across like an arrogant pr!ck. He has a good thing going on here, I hope he doesnt ruin it for his own sake. But I dont think his team mates will accept his behaviour for a long time, imagine you are fighting every game and you see one of your team mates just having tantrums, walking around like he doesnt care and just get distracted by other things. Eventually just like his team mates in Inter, there will b reaction from the team
