Is it time to think the unthinkable

its the sheer lack of effort at times Luka that irritate more than his off field nonsense.You cant have a player no matter how talented when you wonder if hes going to try today or not when he takes the field

He scored as many as Mario in the sick swan game
------------------------------------------------------------------

he scored only one, mario scored 2, Dzeko 2 and Silva 1

my bad. I should know better, my 5 year old son has the 'Six In The City' poster on his bedroom wall

Bluff - Perhaps a Balotelli - RVP swap would be an option ???

Don't want to see RVP at City, as good a striker as he is.

PP I think Torres, Aguero and Silva on the pitch at the same time has the potential to be a pretty formidable front three! I've heard Kia Twatface is Alex's 'advisor' though so I think that could be why we've shown no interest in signing him.

As for trust, I'd rather have Balotelli on the pitch at the moment than Dzeko. Attitudes aside, there's a good chance Balotelli will grab a goal when he/we aren't playing well or against the run of play - like Spurs, Dzeko on the other hand can't be trusted to deliver the goods at the moment.

"Is it time to think the unthinkable"

What? You mean "arry" for England?

Sorry Paul, I don't think it will be a wise thing to do. Mario has won us some important games this season - everton, united & spurs. Also, we have forgotten how Rooney was a couple of years ago. I really hope he improves his work ethic. Other than that, he will come good at the end. And like someone mentioned earlier, mario turns up in the big games. Finally, in response to souness, mario will win us the league.

Mario's performances have been below par this last month but then he has been carrying an injury. Before teh inuury, whenever he started a game he was brilliant. It's when he comes on as a sub that he's a problem; it's like he's miffed about it and just wants to cause trouble.

I think we have big problmes up front at the moment; Dzeko is making Ade Akinbiyi look good and Mario is too volatile to trust, leaving us with Aguero as our only reliable striker.

Meanwhile, John Guidetti is smashing them in for Feyenoord...

You know, it amazes me when you think City have 4 strikers that cosy a collective 120m or so million and it causes such a problem. Tevez on strike, Mario volatile and looks disinterested alot of the time (Poor man's Berba atm for me) Dzeko's sporadic and looking nowehere near a 25m+ player and Aguero the one that's keeping it together.

Sometimes, what looks fantastic on paper doesn't always lokk fantastic on the pitch. Tis why I think United will push City all the way.

What looks fantastic Macca is city top 3 points clear with just the library and st james pk to go to out of the top 7

True Paul.

If United manage to stay within three or 4 points of City after we have played Liverpool Spurs and Chelsea, then it's all to play for

We could be heading for the most important Derby for decades.

i doubt my nerves would stand it if it proved to be the case
