Those saying we're still in it - please tell me how you expect a team devoid of ideas, drive, and desire, until it's too late, to suddenly turn this around and pick up maximum points from our remaining games ?
Absolutely devastated with what I've just seen. A penny for the thoughts of the decision makers in Abu Dhabi.
I would hope that the players get the spark back that was there at during the first 3 months of the season.. Its there somewhere,I just hope they find it for the tough games coming up..
If they dont we wont challenge..
Did you copy and paste an old post of yours? From say, February?

I'm sorry, but that kind of excuse just doesn't work.
Now, who's fault is it that the players didn't come in to this match the way they should have?
I said it before, I think Mancini is a decent tactician, but he is a poor man-manager. Very poor... and a lack of communication is what stands in way between us and the PL title this year.
The players want to take 5 passes before getting the ball anywhere instead of taking risks with passes like Pizarro.
Quite frankly, besides Yaya, our midfield lacks quality passers that can get the ball forward quickly and speed up the tempo.
Mancini ain't that good of a tactician, I mean he should've brought on Pizarro for Silva because with Silva, even off the boil, creates some chances/makes good passes alongside Yaya. When you take him out Yaya is left with no one to work with and thus we needed Pizarro because he has excellent vision and won't play tippy tappy shit.
Mourinho in please, Mancini has shown time and time again he isn't cut out for our dreams.

We're not moving the ball quick enough. He's having to come too deep to collect it. The forwards aren't making the kind of intelligents runs he needs. Full backs aren't getting forward fast enough. There's a litany of reasons why Silva isn't clicking.

Did you not just read my post? It doesn't matter how good the team is on paper, it's how they perform as a collective.
I doubt that Mancini told the players to be consistently dodgy and nervous at the back.
What did he tell them because we scored two long range wonder goals and a penalty. Other wise our attacking play was as rubbish as our defending. There's going to be a procession of people wanting Mancini to be absolved of all blame, when that performance came on the back of a two day holiday he gave the players - after an equally poor performance at Stoke.

Not much wrong? He played Dzeko without johnson/kolorav in the starting line-up ffs. The players play how the manager tells them to play like, tippy tappy shit ain't working for us.
Lol, not this game, I think it was stoke.
