I too would like to see a player like Razak come through, but if he is only good enough for Charlton's bench at the moment while also taking into consideration what I have seen of him, I would suggest at the very best that its too soon. Somehow though Toure does need a rest at the moment though IMO Personally i think Silva was good-very good for last 3 games before international break but i dont want to side track.

With all said, he has been playing almost every game and I would prefer to think that is due to fatigue. Even David Silva has been very poor since the start except a the last game before international break. Mancini should rest him here and there and give youngsters such as Razak a chance a bit more.

For me its been since then, and while i completely agree that he is allowed a dip in form without criticism, it must be said that the scale of the drop and the lack of positivity in his play is alarming I think at times early on in the season he did look in and around is best form, it was only after the madrid game in mid september where we were all eulogising about him.

We are having to settle for a situation where we are pleased when this happens and when it doesn't, the team simply doesn't tick in mid field. We are not seeing the explosive, destructive runs into the box but more damaging we are not seeing him strut his stuff with one touch control and inspired passing, orchestrating the game from the middle of the park. We need that back at least as much as we need David Silva back. We also need at least one of the two injured DMF's back, these are both players comfortable on the ball, who can provide a defensive cover and with Barry a springboard. Barry on his own is starting to look threadbare.
