Totally agree. Times I often wonder if folk are watching the same game as me or understand positional sense, winning the ball, holding possession and distribution which to me Gareth Barry does better than the succesful Didi Hamman who gave us good service after success with Liverpool.
When Lescott joined he appeared over awed by the quality of players around and took time to settle. Similarly this season with Clichy and Nasri who are only now showing their potential. Mancini is right in looking at team performances whilst encouraging individuals.
