blind faith

[fathellensbellend]

for everyone who has raised doubts about mancini's ability, there have been a number who have shot the arguement down in flames, and slated the doubters, but i have not read one response anywhere where the shape and the team selection can be justified, so i throw down the gauntlet to anyone who can offer up sensible reasoned responses as to what mancini is currently doing with the side, and what the plan is.

lets try and do this without getting personal, and insulting.

What gives us the right to justify Roberto's team selection after a loss ???

I didnt see the board full of posters slating the team selection before the game, In fact I thought it was a strong team selection and I expect many others thought too.

ok, explain the shape, the lack of width, the players out of position, convert me.

We have have only lost 3 games under Mancini.

Rags away - Despite the hatred, they are in the top 2 of the prem.

Everton away - Usually a top 6 side that have just hit a rich vein of form

Hull away - Not a great team, but have also just held chelsea to a draw at the KC, and are set up to frustrate.

I'm not saying we played to the top of our game, but, as they say, there is no easy game in the prem. Mancini is still finding his best team and lets have it right, some players didn't turn up at everton and hull.

Give him some time before causing unrest.

We only lost 2 under Hughes.
Rags away where we gave them a real fright and scored three. We never looked like doing that in the second leg.
Spurs away where he got the team selection and tactics wrong but they are also a top 6 side. But we sacked him on the strength of that game.

Blind faith?

Come on mate you can do better than that.

Blind faith is giving the job of manager of the richest club in the world to a man who has never won anything in ten years as a manager, who never brought through one great youth player, who had no experience of dealing with major transfers and top-quality players. Appointing him, giving him £200m to spend... based on no evidence that he would ever succeed... THAT'S blind faith.

Appointing a manager who has won Italian cups, three Italian league titles, competed in the Champions League, had signed and dealt with numerous star players... that's playing the percentages. That's giving yourself some chance of success based on the fact that he has done it before.

He's been in charge for a dozen games, he's spent next to nothing, his transfer targets were cocked up by others, for fuck's sake... can I use a "Hughsie moment" and say... judge him when it's HIS team!

Is he the man for the job? No one knows for sure. But I'm more than prepared to let him see this season out... AND next season... before I will feel morivated to start calling for his head.

Win against Bolton on Tuesday and we go level 4th. with a game in hand.

Grow some balls man!

we are heading down the same path of all the other threads, not interested in a slanging match, just tell me what you like about how mancini is setting us up presently, how we are benefitting, and how we are getting the best out of our excellent squad.

still not seen an answer anywhere on bluemoon

Perhaps, we should give a manger more that 12 games before questioning someone's ability. He is experimenting and for the short term will get some things wrong.

You wont find an answer because what you said last night was spot on.
