    Sorry if this has been posted already, but I think that the guy makes some valid points.

    Personally I would continue to play HBA in the hole. Hopefully Santon will play instead of Raylor and this will allow Jonas to get forward more in support of Ba and HBA.

    We also have to remember that Hatem has been out for a year and will take a few months to get back to his best. He may also need time to adjust to the pace of the Premiership as he has played very few matches in this league.

    Ever since his first start at City he hasnt really looked rusty at all. He just has off days because that's what kind of player he is, not because he's not fit. Let's also remember his only league starts were against top 4 sides, if he plays this weekend I think he'll be much better.

    I don't think he's been bad (although I missed the Chelsea match) I just don't think his performances have been noted due to a lack of goals and assists, both of which he is unlucky to not have at this point.

    Agree. He was poor against Chelsea because Romeu was sticking close to him and kept him quiet. Good in both Manchester games though.
