Why does Mancini persist in playing Ballotelli? The guy's nothing special; he snaps at chances in the hope of getting glory/headlines/being able to stick it to the manager, rather than compose himself, wait and control the ball, and maybe score. How many times have we seen this happen? "OH and Ballotelli is IN oh no wait he's skyed it!"
And TEVEZ is left on the bench? Come on: had he been playing from the start I think Man City would have won that, or at least made it a lot harder for United. And when Mario is taken off/substituted he ALWAYS ****s off down the tunnel, throwing his toys out of the pram. How team-spirited is that? Thinks he's Maradona in his prime, or something!
He has no god-given right to be picked. He should be happy when he is, not moan when he isn't. And when on the pitch, Mario, JUSTIFY your ****ing selection! WORK for your place! Everyone else has to!
The perfect antithesis of Mario Ballotelli: Edin Djeko (sp?)--- hardly ever starts, but when he's subbed in he more often than not gets a goal, often the winning one. Does he complain that he's not picked for the starting eleven? No, he supports his team-mates and when he gets a chance to shine, he bloody well does! Course he'd like to be starting every week, but not everyone can. Djeko realises that, Mario does not, and so the Chelsea man gets more goals when subbed in than Mario does when either subbed in or out...
