Did Nige notice the fans leaving early do you know?

I understand that Nasri was rested because he had also been playing in the internaltional week - but the main reason I was so happy that we had signed him was because I saw him as the back up to Silva - the only player that I had previously worried that we had no backup for and without whom we look blunt. So I had expected Nasri to start in the Silva role - a good chance to prove he can play in that role.
For me if Silva or Nasri are rested - the other plays -

He needs to be almost play any 11 from the squad in the "routine" games and get results. Ok it might fail in a game somewhere but if he can't rely on that approach then we simply aren't good enough yet.
I think the Villa result was a great result for Mancini and that approach.He would have been slaughtered if we hadnt won ( as Slurthingy is from time to time)

Effective, brutal, but not attractive football like Silva/Nasri/Aguero play.
