I don't believe in slagging off MDM or any of the players, but the 2nd string is nowhere near good enough.
At this point I have to point out that Mancini flagged up a number of issues with the squad even in Jan last year.
The same problems are still there, the mediocrity that Mancini was trying to get out of the squad is still there or has been replaced by equally mediocre or worse.
The new manager has come and had half a season, the refresh of faces has had some effect but anyone who's seen us in the 2nd half of this season can see the same faults creeping back in. Even before that, it started with 10 min periods, two or three per game where intensity dropped and teams got at us, even in games we were dominating. re Liverpool & Arsenal...
So the guys I'm really wondering about at this point are the 2 Spanish blokes behind the scenes. Who is really calling the shots when it comes to squad and priorities.
I know some might not like it but I'm going to say it anyway... the rot set in once Mancini was undermined. We're now on a downward curve.
Oh and another thing...
You've said my post is illogical... oh yeah? lets have a look at a couple of things...
1) PL Solid 2nd place to 4th and under pressure to win games in hand... zero margin for error. More games lost.
2) FAC losing finalist to losing Quarter finalist
3) CL out of group but bummed twice...
4) LC early round losers to winners...
is that still an upward trajectory?

We are not going to win both domestic cups each and every year. IT HARDLY EVER HAPPENS. Get over it.Blue2112 said:irishben said:Beat Barca and win PL no one will give a shit a bout this in 2 months time
Disagree, today we should have been in a semi final so the least he needs to do is qualify for a Champions League semi final. Beating Barca might do wonders commercially and for the fans for a few days but the reality is won't win us fuck all.

Point 2. No win is no win. FACT
Point 3. CL progression is better - the consequences of which your tiny brain will not be able to comprehend. FACT
Point 4. League cup WINNERS - FACT
Point 5. School in the morning for you - FACT
