Could have been 5 or 6 but 3-0 is good anytime. Balotelli is a typical kid. I'm sure he thinks he knows everything & we are all just grumpy old men who don't understand him. He will grow up but I'm not sure it will be at City. Get him when he is between 25 & 30 & you will have a class act. I thought we created well and showed a bit of hunger (something that has been lacking in many games) and with a bit more composure in front of goal we could have had a feast. Bottom line. Job Done.

Thu, 02 Dec 2010 22:09:28 +0000 http://viewfromablue.wordpress.com/?p=1078#comment-537 My thoughts on the game are very similar to be honest. As we discussed I am still very undecided on Mario, but it is clear to see his effervescent skill and we shoudl all keep our fingers crossed he keeps his reputable temper to himself. Vieira has come out and said he needs to work harder for the team, but also said what a class act he can be. He can create a chance out of nowhere and score. More often than not, for his first goal, many strikers would have simply controlled the ball, tried to trun their man and THEN shoot, but Mario's audacity shone through and what a splendid finish it was. Like you note though, hye was awfully greedy at times, flashing efforts into the side netting and not scoring for Jo when that seemed the easier option. As for the team performance, only Boateng, Zaba and Milner stood out for me. Lets hope he calls the changes again this weekend and to be honest I am sure he will. Im looking forward to seeing fireworks from Kolarov :) Great review once again My thoughts on the game are very similar to be honest.

The guy's celebrations, or rather the lack of one, left me feeling just that little bit colder on a deceivingly mild, (in comparison to what I thought it was going to be like) night at Eastlands. Last night was a truly important game in our quest to have a sucessful season and he was celebrating as if he'd found a quid after losing a tenner. I can see I'm going to have similar feelings towards him as I did a certain Nicolas Anelka. Whilst I always recognised his (Anelka's) talent and felt he was one of our better players, I always cheered at one of his goals with a tinge of contempt at his arrogance. I have a feeling I am going to be cheering with that tinge once again unless Balotelli learns a little more humility and I think, respect for the shirt. That said, I cannot wait for the Bolton game as I feel they fancy themselves as a good team and Coyle will have them to come and have a bit of a go. Come on City, it's time to turn it up a notch or two. Can I also let you know that I reckon you have got an excellent little blog going on here. Keep it up with the optimism.
