Manicini showed at Inter he is pretty inept in the Champions League.
Look what happened when Mourinho took over the same side

As a Mourinho fan I have to be fair. He also spent a lot of money upgrading players.

Do you know how much Bobby spent at Inter? He took Paddy and Ibra form Juve when they were relegated at a time they were the best two players in the league.

The owner wanted Champs league so he got someone who had a clue in europe in, that year he got everything.

Same players used tonight as last season, our summer signings have made no contribution at all this season, I know some are injuried, but we have not strengthen at all. Someone must be accountable for that.

Mancini has made a serious cock up tonight and will be raped in the press tomorrow. Their second goal was shit defending not the systems fault so he panicked and changed to 3 at the back and lo and behold they score another and he changes back to 4 at the back.

I thought he'd seen the error of his ways and scrapped it but doing it at such an important moment in the game was fucking stupid. Europe is going to cost him his job if he doesn't sort it out and soon.

Pretty much sums it up. We'd actually started the second half ok, certainly a damn sight better than we played in the first. No need whatsoever for the switch to 3 at the back - same as Dortmund, 15 minutes of utter fucking chaos, concede a goal, then switch back to the 4 but now with Richards wasted in at centre half and Clichy at right back. And just throwing extra strikers on without any real thought hasn't helped. If we stayed as we were in terms of shape/system, we'd have had a good chance of getting back into it.

Mancini will get crucifed tomorrow and you'd have to say he deserves it on this occasion

Bollocks 'at this level'. Ajax would finish below 6th in the PL.

Really, so how do you explain them bossing us and giving us a lesson then?

They're having the game of their lives is why. We're the scalp because they didn't want to finish bottom. The squad we have is ten times theirs, which is why pundits today were comparing them as 'not fit to lace City's boots'. We look an absolute bag of nerves and theres no fucking **** need of it.

Pige I admire your tenacity but we've been outplayed in all 3 CL games, not just this one.

I have always stuck up for the Premier League but after Chelsea losing to Shakhtar, Arsenal losing to Schalke and us losing to Ajax i think i may have to stop now. We are above the Dutch league regardless of this game but we are a mile behind the Spanish and German leagues.

One CL gameweek and its all gone to shit, right-o.

Remind me which league the current holder's of this competition are from?

Well Dzeko, no more bitching about coming on as a sub, you prove once again you are shit when you start and are indeed a donkey.

On the basis of tonight's performance ... Anyone think he will tinker with the defence on Saturday ?

It's what he does. People on here earlier slagging off the Sky pundits for criticizing the regular changes in defence. Seriously.

Mancini aside I also think Yaya has been a lazy twat who has offered nothing.

Barry has shown why he should stick to playing the West Brom's of the world because against the big european teams he looks like a pensioner with concrete boots.

Lescott has shown why he can't be trusted in these big games he's just too limited a player.

Plus Silva is a huge loss as we can actually pass the ball when he plays. All in all a shit night.
