How'd you come to that conclusion?

cost us 2 pts.. is bang out of order and i am ashamed as city fan to have even read that
if Mancini felt he was not of any use on the pitch he will have seen that and replaced him

Don't get me wrong, he is a real talent and could go on to become a great player but he needs to be able to put in a full shift. It seems to me that he's full of life and energy in the first 20-30 minutes but then he fades out and becomes a bit of a passenger.
Never mind South Africa in the Summer Adam, get yourself a personal trainer and build up your stamina, or just ask Bellamy what he does and copy him.

Every player, even the very, very best, have got areas of their game they need to work on.
The last two games he has come up against two of the three best left-backs in the league. He hasn't done that well. Fair enough. He needs to do better against them next time. But remember, he won't play an evra or a Clichy every week.
And I must say I don't recall much criticism of his stamina when he scored in injury time at Sunderland.
I do remember the hazy, distant days when City fans a) were knowledgeable, b) showed patience, and c) gave some credit when the opposition do well or have class players.

at times hes looked brilliant against lower tier teams but thats two weeks in a row he hasn't delivered, when he needed to perform against 'the big boys'
That performance probably made the watching Capello's mind up
(at least, I presume he had already made his mind up about Micah Richards!)

He went past Evra last week, right in front of me, made the space for a cross &...turned inside onto his left foot & the chance was gone. One of the problems of being on the wrong side of the pitch against one of the best fullbacks in the Prem I suppose.
