Re: That's why edin dosent start Dzeko was one of our better players, not that that's saying much. Mancini is to blame for our form. He showed Ajax too much respect and then went 352 when we should have kept our shape. I can't lay blame on our players tonight.

--------------Hart-------------- Zabaleta--Kompany--Lescott--Clichy ----------Milner---Barry-------------- ---Tevez-----Silva------Sinclair--- -------------Balotelli------------ This is what I would go with. Yaya needs a rest in my view here as we've had very little time to recover. Bring him...

For me Dzeko is more than 3rd choice. I'd be using the big man, little man combination up front from the start.

Clichy with Dzeko a close 2nd. He's not played enough minutes to win imo. It's been a dire month!

Re: City v Sunderland I'd say this except Dzeko on for Balotelli. 

Going by how the last game went I could easily say Spearing and Lucas are good enough for us. We were so poor we made them all look quality. The arrogance we have towards certain players though is unbelievable. Carroll would be a very handy weapon to any team. We don't need him though as we...

I hate it when people on here show absolute bias against certain players that they consider not good enough. We should be giving them our full support. Its daft to think they haven't got the ability to be part of something amazing at this club, but such and such a player from elsewhere would...

The team do not lack motivation; of course they want Champions League football and to prove themselves. However I feel there is not a collective spirit instilled in them by the manager. Silva and De Jong are clearly amongst Mancini's favourites as evidenced by Mancini resting them for the...

They can when their favourites are playing, our quality is much higher than the opposition and they are in turmoil with a bad run of form.

Jose is the most well known and popular answer to our problems, but isn't neccesarily the only one like some on here clearly believe.

So why don't we have a plan B to accomodate this strategy for players like him?

Neither. One is unobtainable in my view and the other I've had enough of.

Pretty much this. The biggest thing he needs to improve on is his relationship with the full squad. Most don't give their all for the manager.

I'd keep the current squad tight-knit and wouldn't sign too many more players. I would have the team having bonding sessions to boost the morale of the squad and have them enjoy playing for the club and enjoying their football. I would be telling the team that if they give their all there is...

Re: Mancini out I completely realise the difference between the Liverpool and Sunderland side in terms of form, but are you trying to suggest that any side who decides to turn up because they play for their manager should be beating us so comprehensively? I didn't expect a win at all. I was...

Goals when managed properly.

Re: Dzeko ^^^^This^^^^

Can we... Yes! We have a better squad on paper than the rags and if we play to our full potential and have a proper go at them then we could embarrass them. Will we... I fear not! Mancini could balls up again with his tactics and if they score first I don't see an inspiring manager helping...
