Anyway, Touré is 'shackled' for a reason. The new combination of midfielders behind him fail to make up for what NdJ offered us/ him; security and trust.
What NdJ offered was the ability to read the play and no need to go galavanting up field and forgetting the duties of protecting the defence, unless the game was in total control.
The amount of moaning from City fans wishing Nige was a player that 'went forward' more, was ridiculous. Well, to the Klowns who wanted Nige gone cos he 'slowed us down'; you have gotten you ill conceived wish and how do you feel?
Hart; ONE clean sheet.
Defence; leaking goals like s sieve.
Y. Touré; shackled and unable to make the runs he had made, last year.
Tévez; played as the auxiliary attacking midfielder that was Y. Touré's Ace-in-the-Hole move, therefore one less centre forward option, at times.
Attack; lucky Dzeko is in form.
In fact, Nige's departure has rocked the boat more than first thought.
Hmm...
