Poll: Most important player for 2nd half of season

[Blue Toy]

Who is it?

If you'd asked me at the start of the season I'd have said Tevez, but right now - for me - NDJ has to be the first name on the team sheet home or away.

I voted Nigel too, so important but i think Dave has a huge role to play in picking them locks.......

[Blue in the face]

Silva for me. NDJ solid in the midfield is a good shout, but I believe a good playmaker is decisive.

[edgeley blue]

Definitely Nige, the two games he has missed (wolves and everton) have been our worst defensively as well as two defeats. To win the prem mind everyone of them will have to be important.

[Wonderwall]

NDJ is the integral cog

[zuricity]

Silva . Period . Full stop

[Wonderwall]

Silva . Period . Full stop

double negative as my youngest just pointed out means there is not single person!!

[Twobob]

Nige for me - we look weak in midfield when he doesnt play! going forward though i think it's Silva

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Silva, the boy is pure class

[Beefymcfc]

I'm not guessing, I'll be more than happy with a surprise.

[citytilidie]

Dzeko?

[BobbyJ1956]

Silva. He'll be the younger Ali Benarbia City just missed. He'll be our Zola, maybe our Puskas.

[Kladze]

De Jong

[Swales4ever]

Balotelli is the most raw material with unlimited potential: by an actuarial point of view he would be the most logical answer.

Still I cannot stop dreaming of what magics Silva might feature comes more fair pitches at springtime.

[dazby]

Shay. His penalty save in the fa cup final will win us some silverware.

[john68]

DAVID SILVA...This guy will pull the all the strings. he will be the brains of the outfit.

[Trautmann]

In terms of making a quantum change from where we are now, I choose Balotelli. I think he is getting a lot of one on one from Mancini, and will become next to unstoppable by season end.

[Dingus McDouchey]

In terms of losing a player to injury, we would be screwed without De Jong.
But barring injuries, I think it's Balotelli. We've got a consistent performer in Tevez. So, If Balotelli catches fire, we'll be laughing.

[Kiss_The_Goat]

Tevez. he wins us almost every game with his goals and work rate.

[mcfc1632]

I saw it a bit differently to some - more which person is it 'most important steps up to the plate' rather than 'who is our best / most key player'

NDJ is obviously key - but his nature is such that you can almost take it for granted that he will perform - would hate to think of him being out injured though

Ditto Tevez and Kompany - if such guys are injury free they will perform

So my vote whent to Silva - his form has been increasingly impressive in recent games and if he continues to improve he will be such a provider that I think that we will win the league
