What a performance, a little wobbly at the back as usual but some fantastic defending, what an Argentinian master class from midfield. For now Carlos Tevez has redeemed himself and to be honest we would be lying if we said we would not like him to stay on in Manchester, if he ends up leaving us then at least he has restored his value and given his all to warrant a way out of Manchester (not Trafford).
Aguero's performance was mind blowing with some electric movement and pin point accuracy, but all in all everyone put in a solid performance from back to front, I'd like to heap praise on Joe Hart because he receives very little, the lad is World Class and I have full confidence that he will prove as much in the coming seasons. (In my opinion the most valuable asset Manchester has).
I only hope Mancini doesn't allow the negative Balotelli back into the squad until he proves himself in training, all I see him doing is playing with his little pals dressed up like little gangster rappers (reminds me of Arsenal). As far as I am concerned I want him out of our club and Manchester, I thought United's and Arsenal's players had egos but Balotelli's ego is astronomical and his apology is empty.
There is a lot of talk about the title right now, I'm a realist so I'm with Mancini on this one. The title is a long way off and if Aston Villa fails to take at least a point of United the chances of winning the title will be almost impossible. The best possible scenario would be for Villa to beat United, until then there is no point talking about the title. If Villa fails we will have to destroy United in the derby again, only then will we have to win all our games and hope either Sunderland or Everton turn United over.
It will only take one more win to secure second place in the Premier League, that in itself is a huge success, even more successful when you look at who we have knocked out. Arsenal fans and players were hoping we would crumble so they could pinch 2nd place from under us, not surprising but boy were they arrogant and ignorant.
Chris Foy once again proved a majority of the top flights referee's are a disgrace, not long ago Ashley Young dived after no contact to get a penalty, despite being offside and there being no contact United gained a penalty.
The same happened against us when Norwich's Grant Holt expected Vincent Kompany to foul him, thus predicting wrong to go on to throw himself to the ground after no contact at all. Chris Foy stood there and just waved play on, no yellow card was awarded to Holt.
But as soon as Carlos Tevez goes down after there being stone wall contact from a Norwich player, Chris Foy shows no hesitation what so ever in booking Tevez. Foy was again only ten foot away and saw it all as clear as day. It seems that since the arrival of Foy, every time he officiates our games, we always seem to come up shorter than the other side.
While Carlos Tevez scores a hat trick to show his commitment to his club and fans, all the British media can muster is an in depth look at his golf swing celebration while fabricating it as an insult or mock. I've said in the past that we need to beat the 12th man and we certainly did that against Norwich with the help of Tevez.
It was not until the introduction of Yaya Toure (63rd minute) that we started to dominate in midfield, before then Norwich put pressure on us for most part of the game being first to the majority of loose balls.
It is amazing to watch Yaya when he's on the ball, most players are petrified of going anywhere near the titan for fear of looking like a doosh bag. When he does eventually get challenged, he most of the time comes out ontop. Watching him move and exploit space is so exciting, in my opinion he has to be the forth most valuable player up there with Hart, Silva and Kompany.
I'd also like to put a shout out for Joleon Lescott because I have been an extremely big critic of the lad over recent seasons, this season he has been a rock and seems to have cut out most of the error in his game. I know half of it comes with being flanked by Kompany and Clichy, but credit where credit is due for Lescott. Keep it up lad.

Well done lads!
"I thought United's and Arsenal's players had egos but Balotelli's ego is astronomical and his apology is empty."
ReplyDeleteJust like Tevez then.
"While Carlos Tevez scores a hat trick to show his commitment to his club and fans"
He has not played like this for your club or fans make no mistake - It is merely to engineer another move in his chequered career to further line his and his puppet master's pockets. If he wanted to play for the club and fans he would not have spent 5+ months having a nice break in Argentina no? Sure you would like to keep him after the last couple of games but let's not forget that if he had not had his long term paddy then your boys would maybe have the League wrapped up already. That said, I don't mind if you do keep him as I think it would not be long before there was a repeat of this year's behaviour.
As for the league, well it's nowhere near over yet I feel.
Ye you have to expect this kind of opinion and attitude from a rag, you're a Tevez hater so it's expected.
DeleteWe City fans on the other hand have a better level of intelligence not tarnished by arrogance and ignorance. We see that Tevez has every right to want to be closer to his family, while also realising that Tevez is easily manipulated by as you say his puppet master.
We blame the puppet master and not the player.
As far as your "the title is far from over" comment well, if your pathetic club wrapped it up too soon then, it clearly highlights how your club have been favoured by the FA and referees because the Premier League has never seen such a one sided season in its entire history as 2011/12, you wouldn't want to attract to much attention now aye.
I see right through your modesty, underneath that face is the same old United mentality.
P.s. You're clearly far from smart because, I already mentioned that Tevez has redeemed himself and his value. His contribution has been positive to Manchester City's cause just as much as to his own cause so, like i've said before he is playing for himself, City and for City fans whether you like it or not and obviously you don't like it much at all.
One thing is certain. We can't have Tevez, Aguero, Dzeko and Balotelli at the same club. Aguero has to play for sure so that only leaves one space.
ReplyDeleteSo who will be the striker going out? I'd like to see Guidetti coming in or perhaps even Nimely from the EDS. if you've been following our youth setup I think that Hiwula and Bunn are also good prospects. Its no use having three world class players in each positon. That's why I was glad when the De Rossi deal fell through. We dont need him, Javi Martinez or Hazard. when Pizarro and hargreaves exit this summer, it will leave us with Toure, de Jong, Barry and Milner to play centrally. That's aleady packed. We need to give chances to our youth.
Balotelli should be sold, im a big fan of Harry Bunn, Jordi & John but only John is ready in my opinion.
DeleteI think Nimely will end up elsewhere, we need proper wide men. Yes to Javi Martinez coming to City
Javi would be comp for Dejong.
