6 games left but into a Champions League Semi-Final, I think we're in a good position to assess which players are no longer good enough for City. I'll try not to be knee-jerk or sit on the fence and there's no place for sentimentality either.
I'll kick us off:
Bony
Demichelis
Kolarov
Delph
Navas*
Toure
Zabaleta
The last 2 have had good spells for City over the years. However I can't see them having another season at City. Particularly sad to see the last 2 go, peak Zaba was absolutely brilliant and he loves this club but we need legs in the full back positions and he's losing his, was alright tonight but this team needs energy. Toure need I say no more, some excellent moments for this club but again his legs have gone.
Adding:
Fernando
Thought about it instead of adding him in the heat of the moment and it really shouldn't take Fernandinho to come back into the side for him to start playing well again. We know the 'Toure, 2 man midfield' problem but Fernandinho plays so much better in that scenario and rarely has a bad game. So Fernando out too for me, he's also too limited as a player.
If Navas is reduced to squad player who comes on to stretch the game and keep possession i'd consider keeping him. However, in the future, our right wingers need to contribute goals and assissts, something he doesn't do enough of.
