My bad then. Didn't realize that. Then Barry should be ashamed for playing such a ball in such conditions :(<br /><br />-- Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:15 pm --<br /><br />oakiecokie said:Dax777 said:You are wrong, but since I know you'd insult me for giving you a minute to minute documentary.

However, except for that one pass to Mario that Szczesny cut out, he was very poor
That said. I think he was at fault for the goal. Barry's pass was not perfect, but Pizarro should have anticipated and taken the initial step before it bounced.
That said, he was still the best midfielder on the field yesterday. made better decisions, got open early and often, and made quick decisions. Something that seems to ail our team in general, especially our English players.
But just so you don't think I am bluffing. I'd give you two key instances. On both of Balotelli's yellow card offenses. City had just finished an attack. On the first Barry passed to Pizaman and he slid a pass thru 2 players to find Nasri who found Aguero deep in Ars territory. Aguero lost it and Balo got yellowed. That Piza pass was the key pass.
On Balo's other Yellow, we had a throw in Zaba to Milner who return it to Zaba under pressure in the corner, Zaba laid it back towards the line. Piza picked up the ball, faked like he was going to ping it into the box, and slipped it thru 2 defenders who were frozen by the pass. Zaba latched on to an open cross that went over Aguero and Balo chased Sagna and fouled him for his 2nd yellow.
Piza showcasse these type of intelligent decisions constantly. He simply is just smarter and better than your average run around CM. It is unfortunate we don't give him the props he deserves. Most understand the game in the simplistic situational cause and effect manner. "You give up a ball and they score, you are bad." "You run really hard and do nothing, you are good!"
Just in case you didn`t realise,it was actually pissing down at the time and therefore the ball flew off the surface.
Or buy Banega first. Then consider not signing him.Jumanji said:Sell him and buy Ever Banega

He seems to help out in training alot (judging from inside city), and has changed games.
Simple yes or no.
Me: Yes.
But not for a fee.
