He makes City play better as a team, and can score all types of goals. If he has a run in the team he;d get plenty of goals. He was unplayable when he linked up with Bentley at Blackburn, and a similar partnership with Johnson is possible.scowy68 said:moomba said:That's not really fickle is it, if people who didn't rate him turned around and said he was great after one good game that would be fickle.
In my experience on here the past few years, the reason people still get stick after good games is entirely due to the number of "I told you so" posts after a player who isn't rated has a good game. It was, and remains the same with former manager. Good or bad result and one side of the debate or the other use that as an excuse to start it up again.
You see it here with RSC, scores a tap in and has a decent game and I reckon half the people commenting about it are having a go at people who (quite rightly IMO) have been critical of his signing and contribution to the team.
And the old arguments get made over and over.
I don't dislike RSC in any way, I thought and think he was a waste of money and a bit of a farcical signing. I am very pleased he played well in a great result.
A tap in as you put it can be just as important to the cause as a 30 yard pile driver,you don't get any extra for scoring a spectacular goal,the fact that he was in a position to score that tap in is credit to him.
The lad has been unlucky with injuries which makes it difficult to judge how good a player he is,he didn't have a great game last week when he came on against Sunderland but his presence certainly allowed us to get in the game a bit more and take some of the pressure of Tevez.
But Tevez has to start as does Bellamy so that makes it difficult for Santa Cruz
