I am becoming increasingly pissed off by some comments by city fans on this board regarding new players. Every signing made this summer is constantly complained about with the exception of silva(but even he was labled by some as too small for the prem after the tottenham game ). Why is it you can't give any of them time. Three of them(Mario boateng and kolarov) have had significant injuries over the course of this season and 5 of the 6 have come from abroad so some were bound to take time to settle as should be expected. It seems to be difficult for fullbacks to adapt quickly to the prem(evra was shocking at first) so why is it so hard to give kolarov and boateng time and not call for us to replace them. People are calling for Baines who is an average leftback who is no better than bridge and the people calling for contrao in the summer will be calling for a new left back next season because I'm sure he'll have the same impact as kolarov had had if not worse. To these people I agree he has been poor this season but I am confident in his ability and mancinis judgement and have the patience to give him time to settle and the same applies for boateng even tho I think he's looked assured at centre back. I can understand people complaining about yaya and Balotelli because I think both are lazy and have bad attitudes however both are good players and yaya offers something different to our midfield and is important to us and Balotelli is quite a talent so I think we should stick with both. Milner gets unfair abuse by some on here but he gives his all for the cause and is just off form. Us and villa are very different clubs with different expectations so I believe he will also need time to adapt and I think he will have a similar second season to Barry next season. Even worse is our fans treatment of Dzeko when some fans lost patience after just three games which is unbelievable. He is a good player but I don't think he'll have much of a chance to show it in the league this season but it was important that we bought another striker and one who is an out and out goalscorer to take some pressure off tevez.
Now as for how we are doing in the league this season I think we are doing well and shouldn't be dissappointed. I think some of our expectations including mine were raised after our great mid season form where some of us were calling for us to win the league but fourth has always been the target and even tho it will be hard we are well on course imo. The reality of the league this year is that if results go our way one weekend we are looking up the table and think we could get third or even sneak second and if results dont go well the next week we look down the table and see teams very close behind us and think we could lose out on forth which is why we always get over the top reactions on here if we lose or draw. We are also in with a very realistic chance of winning two cups this season so there is no reason to panic. So chin up blues it could yet be a great season for us!!!!!!
