hope so mate, we could use a consistent striker at this point!

He's played well at West Ham? He did nothing other than miss three guilt edge chances. What game were you watching. Jay, this is called blind faith. You are with all the genuine will in the world hoping he will do well.
but being a striker isn't just about scoring goals, right?

He hasen´t scored any goals lately and he has been injured so I don´t see why he´s ahead of Tevez or Dzeko.albindgreat said:nehe11 said:Fuck me Mancinis love for Balotelli are clouding his judgement, what has Mario done lately to deserve a start, sorry I can´t see why he should start ahead of Tevez or Dzeko.
I don't understand your logic at all... he hasn't played much at all...
what love did mancini show??... its time for mancini to play him and its time for him to prove that he is a regular starter for any club in the world....
gio's side step said:The definition of a top striker is certainly to contribute more than Balotelli does when he plays for City. And it is certainly about scoring simple clear cut chances (1st half at west ham from 2 yards out)

Tevez hasn't exactly been scoring goals for fun, and when was the last time Dzeko scored when starting? Might as well throw Balo in after his long rest and see if he can step up.

How much game time has he had?<br /><br />-- Wed Nov 28, 2012 7:47 pm --<br /><br />Bosno said:blink922 said:nehe11 said:What has he done to deserve a start? He hasen´t scored any goals lately and he has been injured so I don´t see why he´s ahead of Tevez or Dzeko.

When was the last time Balotelli scored at all. I would assume it's been longer than Edin has scored from the bench. Same for Tevez, he's done loads more.

Can't see it pal.
pweyhe said:Are you joking? He plays in the attacking third and has one of the highest passing percentages in the league. Silva is a creator. He often turns it over, because he is always looking for a killer pass, which is great, but you need someone to balance that.
Nasri is a facilitator. He goes from wing to wing, into the middle, deep and forward, collecting the ball and moving it along. This allows players like Silva, Tevez, and Aguero more space and time to create and score. You should actually watch him and see how often he manages to keep us flowing on the ball. He generally covers more ground than any other player as well.
He's not a disappointment. You just have no understanding of what he does.
