MP took Jovetic off and the momentum swung to Swansea and they began to create chances....MP HAD FIXED WHAT WAS NOT BROKEN.
Game management is bollox, it's risky and stupid.
Only two fit strikers & Aguero in a bad mood & wanting a goal, Jovetic only just back from injuries, buzzing around. It's in those kind of minutes the sports science geezers advise that injuries will occur & at this time, Jovetic is an even bigger injury risk than Sergio. Silva is often removed for the same reason.
It should not be so crucial to City, to have Jovetic on the pitch in that situation. The players who came on, should be able to do the job required & feed Aguero, which in fact almost happened. There were several chances to score, & Swansea's opportunities were down to rank bad defending rather than any domination by them. No way should that geezer be one v one on Joe Hart via such a simple move, even if Gerry Taggart & Mark Seagraves were playing.
