Navas must be the fittest player at the club. He worked his bollocks off last night as he always does

as much as he criticized, the guy's a fucking hummingbird. And fuck homesickness, I don't want him to leave. If he could add 8 goals a season to his locker he'd be that Bellamy replacement we've all longed for. He's a worker bee.
cheers

His work-rate really impressed me last night. Didnt even get pissed off at his cut backs.
Looks like a strong breeze would knock him over but the lad gets about!

he came back more than once to win the ball in the middle of the park as well so it's not like he just hung out on the touchline and did a speed demon routine. My sense is that he knows with Milner gone, and Delph injured, if he can graft his way into a starting spot and we get on a hot streak it'll be hard to bench him. That's how i'd view it if i gave more than a single fuck.

You're right there fella, 8 goals would be huge for us, could be the difference of wining the PL. If KDB comes he'll definitely play second fiddle, but he'll get his chance in the squad and I hope he takes his chances and scores more as I love his effort

Stick with the hummingbird analogy Dooms. It perfectly describes him.

I think the answer is clearly NO! He went through 1 on 1 with the keeper and then stood still looking for aguero! Then realised he was only 6 yards from goal, panicked and booted it at Tim Howard's face! It was still only 1-0 at the time and it drives me crazy that he can't finish!

Love his workrate and tracking back but he's one of the most frustrating players ive seen in the final third. At times he puts decent crosses in and no fault of his that we've nobody there to finish half of the time. The frustrating thing is his decision making (or lack of it) like the chance mentioned above. His finishing is woeful and with the pace he has he should be making runs in behind the fullback. Time and again you'll see Silva looking to play him in behind the rb but Navas is stood still on the touchline like he has no idea. Even if he only gets the last part right it'll be a big improvement.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

He misses Zaba. When Zaba is in the temple and on form, they make a formidable partnership. Sagna is looking good so far, so let's hope they click.
Short memories though. I could name 100 city players who were more frustrating than jesus.

Had a think. Nope.. Can think of plenty of players who were shit in the final third but none as frustrating.

Never got anywhere near the final third. Lazy get used to cross it from the halfway line.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

Jesus Navas is nowhere even close to being the most frustrating City player top of the list!
Instead, I would start with the players that gave glimpses of talent, but were eternally injured list of Bellamy, Bojinov, Jovetic, Rodwell, and Santa Cruz. Alvaro Negredo was a blessed Beast through January, until a major injury forced him out of the club. The recurrent injuries of Micah Richards, that eventually forced him to leave, after Zabs replaced him.
At the top of my most frustrating list are the bad attitude issues of Adebayor, Bellamy and especially, chief thug & pseudo-intellectual, Joey Barton!
Of course, one of the most frustrating City enigmas, will always be Mario Balotelli. Mario provided his first & only assist of the season, which led to Aguero's title winning goal... and changed City's history, forever! The same Mario that helped to demolish the Rags, in a record-breaking 1-6 derby. Sadly, it was also Super-mad Mario's behaviour issues, that would ultimately get him transferred out of City.
