Doesn't help when certain players admit to not being up for smaller games. Something fundamentally wrong and should not be awarded new contracts. Just look at the rags any player steps out of line, they get rid.

Re: 'Cant be Arsed' Performances
hit the nail on the head m8
no guaranteed starts for any player only if they as are good there last performance do they make the short-list
rotate to keep them hungry
proper substitutions a chance to shine and blood new guys and keep the competitiveness at a peak no more 89 min stuff unless its to show our appreciation for a brilliant match winning display
reward success punish failure and pay a huge bonus when a player does well if that doest get them hard to play for city then ship them out
finally Vinnie lovely guy but not ruthless enough to be the captain time for a change there too
adrianr said:The whole team has fallen into a massive comfort zone. They know no matter what they do they're the first choices on the team sheet because Mancini only has one plan.
The only exceptions this season are Zabaleta, because he's Zabaleta. Nastasic because he's been ousting Lescott, and Milner because he's been fighting to get into the team in general.
Funnily enough for all those who champion stability, it's probably a level of instability we need to shake things up and get everyone back impressing again.

Its deffo the performances rather than the results that have forced this change. Its easy to buy into the 'we would romp it next year because the rags and Chelsea have new managers' line, but IMO had Mancini stayed, we would have continued to play the same laboured, grinding style next season and a reinvigorated Chelsea under Mou would be odds on faves for me.
I have fucking hated some of the performances we have seen out of City this season, but it was yesterdays utter garbage in a fucking cup final that pushed me over the edge. Best of luck to Mancini, but we need a fresh approach.

Transformed from a magician into a ghost
Silva, Toure and Aguero.All immense for us last year, this year average at best. Only Zabba and Millner have cut the mustard for me this year.<br /><br />-- Sun May 12, 2013 5:54 pm --<br /><br />Hunger and total respect for yhe shirt and what it represents...I hate to say it but the rags have it and to many of our players don't, simple as!
I don't give a fuck who they are and how much talent they have if they don't have this, particularly in the premier league then you will struggle as we have this year topped by yesterday's shambles!
Last year we got away with it but this year teams have sussed us big time
4 top class pacy players with the right attitude needed next season and aside from 4-6 players I wouldn't care less if any of them fucked off and I include the always tired Toure amongst that lot as well! How he can be tired when he had a weeks rest I don't know!

Extremely fortunate to escape with a point,Liverpool first to every ball simply wanted it more but for a couple of gifts would've lost comfortably
Sept arsenal home 1-1
Extremely fortunate to escape with a point,arsenal first to every ball simply wanted it more
Nov west ham away 0-0
A tactical masterclass in how not to break a team down
Play was slow and ponderous,never looked like scoring and were lucky to come away with a point,west ham should've had a penalty & had a goal harshly ruled out
Dec Everton home 1-1
Extremely fortunate to escape with a point,Everton first to every ball simply wanted it more
Dec man Utd home 2-3
Basically started the game with ten men by Mancini starting his pet f uckwit Balotelli,2 down before we knew it,rallied a bit then sucker punched at the end by sticking the French coward on the end of the wall
Lost and all down to the tactical nous of Mancini
Dec Sunderland away 0-1
Sunderland first to every ball,deservedly lost as Sunderland simply wanted it more
Jan QPR away 0-0
Slow,pedestrian play made it a comfortable evening for QPR
Never looked like scoring,no plan B and no idea
Feb Liverpool home 2-2
Extremely fortunate to escape with a point,Liverpool first to every ball simply wanted it more
Feb Southampton away 1-3
Worst performance of the season
A must win game where we started very slowly and found out to our great surprise that the opposition were first to every ball and simply wanted it more,who knew?
Fully deserved win by saints
March Everton away 0-2
Having seen Wigan dismantle Everton at home in the FA cup the clues to how to play against Everton were there for all to see
Never at the races,Everton first to every ball simply wanted it more and we were pathetic,tactically inept and never in the contest
April spurs away 1-3
Comfortably holding a 1-0 lead against a bang average spurs side,Mancini didn't respond to the obvious substitutions Spurs were to make,overran in midfield,spurs first to every ball simply wanted it more and won quite comfortably as city threw Lescott on a a centre forward rather than Dzeko who was on the bench.
Trudged up Seven Sisters rd in disgust season over and thinking I preferred watching City when they were shit but tried
We were very fortunate that Utd choked the title the season before and Mancini has had plenty of opportunities to sort out the clear inadequences of his team in terms of passion,commitment and endeavour never mind the mirage of tactics he clearly knows very little about.
I would be very disappointed if he's not sacked,he's had enough chances to sort it out,time for someone else to have a go
Well played Wigan yesterday
First to every ball and simply wanted it more
Who'd have thought it?[/quote
Pretty much says it all for me - Tactically naiive, too reliant on very skilled individuals to deliver.
Yesterday reminded me of Barcelona play B.Munich in the CL Semi.
