Re: I'm actually more annoyed with Dzeko to be honest...
All he had to do was e.g. do something about the gaping hole on the right defensively (incidentally, Dzeko of all people noticed it and tried to patch it up), bring Aguero and Barry a bit forward, sub Yaya for DeJong and it would probably have worked.
This way, he made Bayern, who were rather average in absolute terms, look heroic. To add insult to injury, he then shifted the blame to Tevez and even Dzeko. Everyone's talking about them, instead of the real issues behind -- quite masterful puppeteering-wise, really.
What Tevez, being the twat he is, did was terrible, but quite expected, it was just a matter of time and opportunity.
I suspected this for a while, though I kept giving him the benefit of doubt, but he has now made it very clear to anyone willing to see the picture he's painting -- The man is a Machiavellian coward and a terrible man-manager, though I still maintain he's an excellent strategist. All things being equal, this is far from being good enough at this top level, and he's not showing any signs of improvement. On the contrary, he's been abusing his recent political gain to e.g. favour his own, talentless son during the pre-season while he should have been working on gelling the team together, for instance. Mancini is not a good manager, he's not a bad manager either. He's simply no manager, to begin with, and I am annoyed with him the most.
