The side was good enough to win the league last year so why stuff around with it? A young defender, Matija Nastasic, is given his first game for City at the Bernabeau against Real Madrid. Crazy!!<br style="font-size: 10px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><br style="font-size: 10px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">Loyalty is a thing that is fast disappearing from football but Roberto needs to show some to his players. I have watched a few of City's training sessions recently on-line and the team spirit seems a lot lower now than it was last year. I appreciate the need for a larger squad but it can also cause problems. The new signings have been reasonably impressive, but I don't think any of them would make it into the top 11 of last season. <br style="font-size: 10px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><br style="font-size: 10px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">Roberto, only bring the new players in once they have proved themselves at the club and when any of the established players shows a dip in form.<br style="font-size: 10px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><br style="font-size: 10px; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">I am a huge Man City fan but, right now, there is no way we will win the league this year the way we are going.<br><br><br></p> <p>New players should be made to fight for a place in the side, not put straight in days after arriving at the club.
