Perhaps he's selected because he gives a fook
I'd prefer it if he was selected because he can pick a man out when crossing, finish one on ones (well finish in any situation) or could deliver a corner that doesn't look like its purposely trying to clear the 18 yard box. Giving a fuck should be the minimum requirement.mosssideblue said:
He's a grafter no doubt, he's not been a flop but he's not been the success I'd hoped when he signed.

Maybe it's better not to look for scapegoats. At the moment we can all name at least half the squad. Nor should we try to blame the system either it being 442 or 451. If players don't perform there is no system to hide it.
We need to start to get results. No matter how we get them, results is the only way to gain confidence to try and get back to how well we can play. Because we can play well. And we must stop letting our heads hang whenever there is a setback because especially now things are not going for us.
Win the next 2 games at home as a start for a run of results. No matter how ugly or lucky you get them.

Agreed,it would appear he is one of our players with a more positive attitude.
Also,we aren't exactly overloaded with attacking midfielders,especially wide ones.....something that has been an issue for several years and something that annoys me.
I'd certainly play Navas in front of Milner at the moment.
He might just be the passive recipient of offers from elsewhere, but we need players now whose future is tied in with the club. There's a good argument for using Navas as an impact sub against tiring defenders. Maybe use him and Toure together as subs. Toure could switch the play out to him. Often a sub comes on in a game, but your control of the game has gone and they can't get in it. That's especially true of wide players who are no good if the midfield can't get on the ball. So maybe use Toure and Navas on the hour mark.

Navas was 1 v 1 at the swamp with option to pass for a tap in and managed to fcuk that up yet again, his lack of ability to beat the first defender considering his pace and ability is shocking.
Yaya should not start in this game, it's so obvious he doesn't give a shit. Send him to play with the reserves.

Put's in a good shift and easily one of our better players this dismal season. With a decent striker (Aguero excepted) making runs, getting in front of their marker and occaisionally attacking the near post, he'd benefit a lot more.
A lot I'd like to see go before him!

I hope Bony is fit to play in this one, we need someone who can hold the ball up and bring others into play. If we don't win this well I will go to the foot of our stairs thats for sure!!

Coming down from Edinburgh for this one. My second visit to the Etihad. First was early in the season vs Stoke.
Looking forward to the summer, but fully concentrated on this game. Really hope we can play well or just win.
Times are tough but this just reminds me of 12/13. We ended that season badly yet 13/14 was great.
Not worried about big picture. But it would be amazing to see my first win in Manchester.
Aside from that I'm just wishing for some atmosphere. I'll do my best to sing. Even if you're just angry, let them know it.

Only an idiot would pick Toure (in his usual CM role).. Only a fookin complete idiot would make him Captain as well. Watch this space -I'm not holding my breath that this won't come to pass.

Without any shadow of any doubt, Yaya will be CM in a central midfield 2. I would wager heavily that Fernando occupies is the other spot.nellyonthewing said:
