I don't get tha navas hate. As someone rightly pointed out his attributes don't suit this game. Not his fault. MP should get nasri on in the second half to help create.

Bony last 20 for corners and freekicks.

It's not even his shooting. His crosses, passes, choices are also bad.

If people are going to love a guy for running up and down the line and making space for someone else fair enough.

And yet creates so many of our chances. Amazing.

Bony is injured...I'd like to see Nas and Nacho on for Navas and Sagna

Just got to be patient. It will come.

Ah ok. Dzeko then... He scores important goals.

Navas is one half of what makes Dave tick in the centre with Sterling being the other half. Just as a decoy with a threat of pace he has value. Not to mention he works hard defensively which Pellegrini's system relies on.

I understand that but with the ball he's bad. The shot was laughable for someone at this level.

You said you didn't get the love in - the love in isn't related to his ability (or lack of it) to shoot.

Exactly. Not his fault, but clearly doesn't have the quality to be a regular starter for a top club. I'll be glad when he's degraded to the bench again and the occasional start. Hard worker, yes, but zero composure in and around the box.

I'd like to see Sergio, Raheem and Nazzer when he comes on just try to beat their player. Take em on more. Our best chance of the half was when Sterling beat his defender for pace.

Chances created first three games:

Silva: 9
Toure: 7
Kolarov: 7
Navas: 7
Agüero: 4
Sagna: 3
Sterling: 3

So Sterling is Shit. Thanks.

This is our first real test now second half. Feels a lot like last seasons frustrations all over again.

Nasri won't change much. Nacho on for Navas and sterling moved around to the right maybe? Dave on the left and Nacho in behind Kun? Dunno. But something needs to happen.

It is simple, Dzeko and Jovetic left, people need someone new to hate.

Nasri on for Navas

NaS

[Slim]

GET IN RAHEEM!!!!

[I Just Blue Myself]

Well, looks like Pellegrini agrees with us Navas 'haters'.

[dazby]

Yes!!!!!

[Dameerto]

STERLING - you can take that to the bank.

[iwasthere2012]

Raheem....

[phips]

Interesting that Raheem has shifted centrally this half with Silva shuffled out wide right

[Cocacolajojo1]

[PeterParker]

Phew, finally.

Get in!
