In a game where we needed a bustling yet considered effort from him, we got a laboured and positionally naive showing. I am still in no doubt that he will get used to life in the premier league and will turn out to be a major asset, I really do. Time will tell, but I have seen him play quite a few times before he came to City to know he has not shown his best form. Another one with that problem but special mention must go to Micah Richards, who was easily the man of the match for City. Without him I really do think we would be out of the cup in yet another seriously embarassing upset.

YaYa's lethargy, Jo in general and Hart rushing decisions and not being culpable for a goal conceded? This is not the kind of form we want to be in with the derby approaching.

The only thing he brings to the squad is a few runs a game and a decent through ball every few games. I think this little experiment needs to be thrown out and bring up Assulin to play alongside Silva or at least put Milner in that role. I completely agree with your take on Yaya.

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 10:22:56 +0000 http://viewfromablue.wordpress.com/?p=1625#comment-861 You pose a good question about Jo... "Why Mancini perseveres with him, I don’t know" It is because Mancini saw him play against his Inter Milan side back in those days and Jo scored two against them for CSKA and had a phenomenal game. Since then, Mancini has always seen Jo's potential and will always give him a chance. He has publically stated that. Also, anothet thing I want to pick up on is the fact that you were a little harsh on Barry. I thought he ran City's midfield without a doubt. I am shocked you give Vieira 6.5, but Barry only 6. I was really impressed with Barry, he was always in control, put passes to the wide men, getting stuck in. I though he ran the show, and indeed I told him that after the game! You pose a good question about Jo…
