Scored the same league goals as Wellbeck and started 6 games more. Really needs to up his game, not been good enough for two months and is pretty much non existent away from home.

But that doesn't 'say it all' though. His performances, goals or no goals, have generally been very good. He has also been key to the way we play and I imagine he has plenty of assists.

He has been poor for a few week, possibly due to no winter break or injury but I'd expect him to play a big part in the run-in

Agreed. What makes it worse is that he doesn't look threatening at the moment. Let's hope it's a matter of his being 'off-form', than him being overwhelmed by the hype that surrounded him after his start to the season.

Spring is in the air, world cup summer holidays are being planned, normal service will be resumed.

It can't be much fun playing with a dislocated shoulder, because thats what I think he suffered away at West Ham in the league Cup.

The more I 've watched him since his return, the more I've spotted what my dad's reaction was to his dislocated shoulder

My dad, 1971, still a relatively young man (English teacher) in his mid 30's .. active hill walker and swimmer.

... trips over a floor mat at school and crashes into a heavy wooden door... result: dislocated shoulder.

.. Ambulance .. paramedics help him 'relocate' shoulder (bloody painful for a sec , by his account)

Some (short) time in hospital as no 'medical' complications...

But that's it, innit..

no 'medical' complications.... but if AN did dislocate his shoulder .. his professional return is not , qualitatively, the same as my dad's....

As an English teacher,you are not constantly throwing your body on the line ...

IMHO, if AN is not firing on all the scintillating cylinders, that he was doing earlier this season.. this may be a line of investigation...

Rock climbers who have had falls resulting in injury often report the usefulness of cognitive behavioural tactics such as 'black-boxing, visualisation , re-framing etc...

The beast is a fantastic signing for us .. he deserves a fully rounded assessment of his neeeds as an athlete.. and these may cover the affective dimensions of injury for young sportsmen..

Iv dislocated my shoulder 4 times and now had an operation to repair the broken tissue and muscle... im 23 years old and only just started playing competitive football again properly as for the last 5 years every time iv got back into the swing of things it would just pop out... the latest being just running and turning round with my arm out in front of me for balance.. if that's what happened to him... then im not surprised he isn't throwing himself into tackle's anymore, not worth the 2 month layoff

If we win our games in hand we can go top on goal difference so I would say every goal is significant but I take you point.

I don't think he's been shit longer than he's been good. I think his work-rate, link up play and general all round contribution has been good

I don't think he's world class but I think he's the 2nd best striker we've got

He's been poor since returning from injury, before that he was exceptional, even when not scoring. . If you think he's been shit for a longer period than when he was performing highly then you've not been paying much attention to the games you were watching.

Zin put the god-awful idea of me looking in this thread into my head.

All you can do really is laugh at most of the posts.

Tell you what, there are loads on here who are paranoid about various aspects of things City-related, one of which is what everyone else thinks. Anyone looking in on these threads today will, I expect, be laughing directly at the posts in said threads, and probably coming to the conclusion that City fans are a bunch of spoilt, miserable cunts who will quite literally moan, woman and complain about anything.

Having a bad spell since the shoulder injury...get behind him says it all.
