Anti Mancini Posters

[joshoco]

We need a song for mancini to show our support, and that we are fully behind him.
Something a bit more inventive than roberto give us a wave i think

 

[Rammy Blue]

Are all the posters who, for some exteremely perverse reason or another going to shut the F**k up and get behind the man now?

No matter how you look at it, from any angle, from any perspective, stats performane - you name it, the guy has proved he is worthy of a full season here to guide us to massive success?

Pleaae give the guy a break.

ill presume that is aimed at me (amongst others).

Watced the game yesterday and we played very well in the first half (forget second as the pitch was such a state that playing proper football was nigh on impossible...though i thought our players adapted pretty well)

tell me what you think of the barry viera combination in midfield yesterday and also in mind with the games we have coming up...do you think he will keep that combination or change it...do you think it worked well yesterday.

Im interested to see what you think scorer

I dont rely on stats...i judge by what i see with my eyes....i team can have 20% posession 1 shot on goal and still win 1-0 to a last min break away....stats dont always tell the whole truth of how a team is performing thorughout a match and arent always a true reflection...tehy do give a good guide line however


Ive never called for him to be replaced (infact ive done exactly the opposite and said he needs at least 2 seasons to see what he can do).....but Im not 100% convinced by his style of play

Oh and there is no perverse reason for this...just a plain and simple reason...i think we can be better than I have been watching up until recently

Vieira and Barry were magnificent together in first half, admittedly the opposition was wank, but it looked by a country mile the best pairing for the middle.

I expect they will be the first choice pairing between now and end of season.

Maybe you are watching too much Barca on tv.

Since Mancini has come in, at times I grant you we have been pragmatic. Not surprising as he had to weigh up the players while at the same time getting points.

Having said that it ïs an awfully long time since I saw a City team look so organized and I am not just talking about the defence. Football is not all about looking pretty. Apart from Arsenal other top teams in England often play ugly. Think Liverpool the last few years. Chelsea don-t always play scintillating stuff.

I can-t remember winning three away games in such quick succession. And yesterday we did it with a second string defence.

Simon, no this was not aimed at any one person in particular (not even Billy Shears).

I think Mancini is doing an absolutely superb job right now and I am more and more impressed as we are going along.

Whilst stats can say anything you want them to say - the current perfomance figures of Mancini, had we been performing at that level for the whole season would IMO mean we would be mixing it with the three sides currently above us.

I agree Viera is no long term solution but he has come in and he has done a job for us- even if that is adding massive experience to the midfield (c an be invaluable you know). Barry I question, I dont thionk ne has played particularly brilliantly (like we know he can) but what he has done is add consistency to the midfield - putting in workmanlike performances - again something that adds value to the team effort. I dont expect this will be our formation next season but I do think it is the best combination we can currently muster and I admire Mancini for bringing Viera to the club.

No one would expect YOU to remember,myopic in the extreme i'm afraid.

Nah. You might be a blue, but you're a bit of a dick. I won't argue with you.

We're averaging 2 points a game though under Mancini, surely that's more than
just stats.

Did you expect us to be doing better pointswise under Mancini?

Did you have the same expectations under the previous manager, who you had nothing but praise for despite doing a worse job?

Or do points just not matter to you.

"Shut up" and "You just can't let it lie. Mancini in, being a blue. Where the fuck were you half a season earlier, you WUM" is hardly arguing... like I say, go lay down and take a rest... you will feel better and be more coherent... Promise.

The facts do speak for themselves. To be honest, apart from yesters like, I thought Mancini gave us defensive stability over MH, which we needed, but no attacking at all.

Yesterday, against a really shite side (who we failed to beat, but came from two down to score 3 against), we had the measure, the mentalness to put them away.

But I don't like standing off teams, whoever they are, when they come at us. Be it Wigan, be it the scum. You'll get caught out defending on your own 18 yard line no matter who you are (teams don't get in this division for fuck all). And that seems to be his plan. Maybe its not - maybe its the players.

We started well aginst Burnley. First time we've gone at someone from the off. If Mancini gets them doing that every game, with who we've got, then fair fucks.

It was a pleasure to be there. First time I've felt like that since god knows.<br /><br />-- Sun Apr 04, 2010 2:57 pm --<br /><br />

Still, fuck off. I will never see you as blue

The OP's being doing this for ages... never seen them in anything but a Hughes or Mancini thread.

A shit stirrer of the highest order.

"Mentalness"?

Is that really a word?

Just wondering.

Yeah, I made it up. Let us know when you've finished shagging.

i personally think that against stronger opposition that central midfield pairing will bet murdered....howeevr the difference was/is that tevez was dropping in to add an extra man into the midfield at times...he was pressing fromt eh fornt and high up the pitch but he was doing the work of a central attacking mid fielder with ade being the focal point...bellamy was also "tucking in" a lot when defending.

I think that a pairing of vierra and barry would struggle against better opposition (esp against spurs, villa utd at home)<br /><br />-- Tue Apr 06, 2010 12:42 pm --<br /><br />

points wise we are doing well....but read what i posted...I judge it on more than that...i judge it on the performances i see....a team can play badly and still win....

I think we are capable of playing better.

Mancini is doing very very well in terms of collecting points but for me there is more to it than that.....I want to be picking up points and playing well
