The stick Balotelli is taking in the Sky studio is copletely unwarranted.
Stupid red card today but he's been carrying City recently.

I think Jamie Redknapp (for once) made a very good point at half-time tbh. As he says, when you've got players like Vincent Kompany who are totally committed, do a great job and are model professionals doing their best to pull their weight, what the hell are they going to think when you've got a whinging and petulant brat at the other end of the field who's as volatile as a landmine, his attitude stinks, and repeatedly puts the team under pressure as a result of his shocking indiscipline? Nobody wants a co-worker with these characteristics, regardless of what profession you work in.

Wouldn't be too impressed with Mancini if I were a City fan tbh. Got the tactics totally wrong (and not for the first time either), set up the team incredibly defensively, the subs he made came far too late, and the team didn't look like it believed it could/wanted to win. Could understand the defensive outlook if this was a game early on in the season, but in a game he went on record as saying was a categorical "must win"....wtf.

Taking Nasri off for Kolarov summed it up for me. Was 0-0 at the time and it looked like he was settling for it. A draw was almost equally as bad for Citeh as a loss and a point wasn't the worst result for The Arse with T*ttenham being held by yer Mackems, but only one team was trying to win it at that stage.

Yeah, it absolutely ran the show today. Not sure what's happened to Rosicky, it's like he's been drinking from the elixir of life or something. All of a sudden he's 5 times the player he's been for the last two years.

Was it the Euros or WC where Rosicky was outstanding a few years ago?

Not only is he playing much better, but he just looks so much more committed. So often he was coasting through games, but now all of a sudden he has the intensity of Roy Keane or something. Really is a miraculous transformation.

Don't disagree with that. Just think it's a tad harsh when it's Balotelli scoring goals and winning points for his team recently when the likes of Aguero and Silva have gone off the boil.

In fairness to Rosicky it's probably the first time he's been properly injury free since God was in short trousers. Must help with his performances.

Kinda ironic with all our injury woes that RvP and him haven't been crocked this season.

Poor man's Ben Arfa - "I can let people think what they want. Me, I know my choice and my choice is about football. "We will see at the end of the season when we will lift a trophy, we will talk about my choice again and we will show everyone who was thinking about money that they were wrong."

Who'll buy him? If Citeh want a proper fee I can't see too many taking a chance. Maybe PSG, Getafe or Malaga as they're now flush with Arab oil dollars, I guess.
