Henry Winter On Mancini

[burnagelane]

Easy, I'm a City fan from Burnage.
You dodged it, what about the team mates trashing team mates on TV?
Would you wear that?

When sooner or later, Mancini does go, I will be left with the lousy memory of this clown of a manager attacking one of his own players,
(not a player attacking him, as some reports said)

(<a class="postlink" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-city/9778119/Manchester-City-striker-Mario-Balotelli-clashes-with-manager-Roberto-Mancini-on-training-ground.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... round.html</a>

I have supported this club since before Mancini was born, this rates with the Barton cigar episode,... I will be glad to see the back of him.

So we win the league in possibly the most dramatic fashion possible but your abiding memory will be of some handbags at Carrington?

*sniff sniff*

lol

Don't forget wrestling the ball from Moyes - utter outrage!! No FA Cup or Premiership can erase the memory!!

"Manchester City do not need a new manager. They just need Mancini to confront assorted issues: bonding the team more, criticising them in public less, bringing in another centre-forward, finding some width, replacing Javi García with a more commanding ball-winning central midfielder, buying a top-class left-back with a good fitness record and cutting their losses on the likes of Samir Nasri and Edin Dzeko."

I don't think he's capable of confronting these issues.

Does anyone think he's going to suddenly accept the concept of wingers? He thinks fullbacks provide the required width, which we've found is not true, but he persists with it anyway.

Bonding the team more and criticising them less is man management. Anyone think he'll transform into a good man manager?

He accepts the concept of wingers, which is why we went for Hazard and Sanchez. He just doesn't accept that Sinclair is a good enough winger and believes Milner and Nasri are better suited to his concept of wing-play.

Full backs does provide the required width. It's just Kolarov/Clichy not doing enough. This is not something he thought up, it's a tried and tested football concept.

I'm in a minority in this forum, but I still have faith in our manager.

Both Nasri and Milner much better suited to play inside, and we don't have the wingbacks on either side to play a proper 3-5-2. Square pegs and round holes.<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 20, 2013 10:12 am --<br /><br />

All the points are wrong with the exception of the striker. That is the problem at the club. You can't win the League with our available strikers - that is Not Mancini's fault. I don't see how it can be

Ummm...Bobby championed Tevez (until Munich) and purchased Balo, Dzeko and Kun.
