City vs Villa( League Cup)In-match Discussion Thread

Hopefully after that gash performance against another gash team, the problems will become apparent to Mancini now.

The problems (specifically the lack of cohesion in the midfield and the constant changing of the defence) do not concern me as much as Mancini seemingly ignoring them. Let De Jong go, that's fine. But then don't play Garcia (a player who has only been in the squad for 3 weeks) on his own in the middle of the midfield at home against Arsenal!

And now he appears to be using Lescott as a scapegoat. Despite the fact that he was a crucial part of the best defence in the league last year. Mancini's frustrated me this season. Immensely. I'm not calling for him to go or anything like that, I'm not a dickhead. Just needs a rocket up his arse.

You sound like one

We had the best defence in the league last season and won it. We've started this season with a seemingly new system, without a clean sheet and haven't even played well. You cannot honestly say there are no concerns. Mancini needs to sort the problems out, not ignore them - that's his job!

Mancini is the new tinker man.

Defensively we have been shite all season. Go back to fa cup winning tactics lets get 1 0 back in the vocab till we get our shit together.

Yet again going out of another cup

That tends to happen if you don't reach the final mate.

It's not one of our priorities this season. The carling cup last season was a hindrance.

Our team needs a leader today. Someone to call out his teammates and fire them up. Sounds like we are just standing around wallowing in our own self-pity.

Last four games last season, 3 clean sheets, 2 goals conceded.

Starting line-up for all four:
Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Barry, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Silva, Tevez, Aguero

Robbie should stop pissing about and play our best 11 game in game out subject to injuries.
Cut out the goals against and get a few 1-0's

I'm not listening whatsoever... have tevez balo or dzeko at least had a scoring chance? (besides the balo goal obv)
