An apology to Mancini

Wasnt it Apollo creed who said, yeah do listen to it Rock, coz when this is over, a lotta people are gonna owe you an apology ?
 
I think Mancini realized he had only Silva to unlock a defense/find a top pass. And AJ when he was in the mood.

So he set up defensively, especially away.

Now, well....things are different and he has the balls to select an attacking team.
 
I must admit I was not a fan of Roberto after his first year with us. I had a go at him a number of times for being too defensive and for some bizarre tactical moves. It was the second half of last season when my mind started to change. The 3-0 at anfield made me think it was back to square one, but after the cup win and CL qualification it was just impossible not to fall in love with him.

Was listening to TalkSport just before the season started and heard them slagging him off saying City will never win the league because he is too defensive. I was livid. Yet that was my own critisicm of him not too long ago, but I knew things were changing and this time they were talking complete bollocks. It's an out of date argument now to suggest Mancini plays negative football, and I'm delighted to see the team prove that point in the first 3 games. The press don't like being proved wrong(hence they had to keep constantly going on about last season's game at Spurs where we "parked the bus") but they are 100% being proved wrong and it's bloody brilliant.

I didn't believe in you at first Roberto but I do now, I love you!
 
said from day one we now had a proper manager, i remember coming on here having to defend him after about 11 games, some wanted him out even though he hadn t had chance to bring in his own players, there will still be more moved around you can be sure of that..who the fuck employed mark hughes, if it had been mancini from that date the league would already be in the cupboard
 
The man is quality. His interview on MOTD 2 last night was comedy gold:

'can you ask any for more from your players?'

'yeh, yeh, yeh....I need to ask them about the goal we conceded'

hahaha....brilliant
 
It's official. Manchester City, for all of its money and flak it gets for trying to "buy titles," have more managerial acumen and taste than Real Madrid. It takes time to build a working system, and a spine. It doesn't come overnight, and you can't buy these things anyway.

Mancini was sometimes SO FUCKING BORING last season but sometimes patience and dedication are the key, not throwing tantrums like a 8-year-old-boy.
