International Break, The Bigger Picture

Well well well, you could say City, City's players and us City fans have got what we expected.

From extra extra time gifted to opposing clubs to opposing fans and players targeting our players with sexual and racial abuse, even our stewards come under fire from projectiles.

Was it worth it? defintely with a top 4 position and a game in hand.

But what about the knocks our players have aquired from opposing clubs who have resorted to rough play treatment?, tiredness within the ranks?

Two words, INTERNATIONAL BREAK will give them time to recover.

Could you ask for anymore as present?, I know I can say for sure I am extremely happy with our progress on and off the field.

although Mark Hughes and his team are doing a great job, there is one point I wish to understand though i probably never will.

Mark Hughes and his squad selection and substitution issue?, why on earth did he allow Shaun Wright-Phillips to continue against Aston Villa's Carew?

Clearly Hughes could have taken Shaun off in place of Martin Petrov, pushing Bellamy over to the Right to combat Carew?.

What are your opinions on the matter of Selection and Substitution?.
