does mancini have a clue?

I think its looking more and more likely that Mancini is a stop gap - and if so, why not stick with Hughes till the end of the season. Garry Cock and his 'trajectory' b*llshit looks like a clown now... and I also doubt we would have lost to the rags if Hughes would have still been in charge!!
I've explained this in another thread. I'm pretty sure that was the plan and he would have been gone at the end of the season under normal circumstances but there was a show-down, presumably about approaches to other managers, and they had to act quickly.

Just out of curiosity... why do you think we wouldn't have lost against the rags had Hughes been in charge?

He managed against them on 3 occasions... and lost all 3!
 
I was pissed off when we were 1-0 down, especially when we need an attacking midfielder on and instead he brings on Zabaleta... I mean WTF is that all about?
 
my 10 year old can pick a better starting 11 than our manager forget the strange subs.

I just wish people/english coaches like reid or even sven had the money and tech players to work with we would be in the top two.
forget the past got outplayed away by hull everton and stoke and got a point out of the three.
if this guy thinks garrido is any good and takes off richards for zab when we are playing 10 men with ireland on the bench he will not bring us sucess end of. If brian kidd is not going to satnd up why is he sat on the bench he must know what he is doing wont bring any sucess in England.
I really hope I am wrong must have tevez back for sunday

Mancini was going mental at the side in the second half - he even grabbed Micah and told him to keep wide. I think that's the only reason Zab came on.

But then we have to ask why are the players not doing as the manager wishes? No. 1 reason has to be lack of leadership on the field I'm afraid.

I'm not enjoying these performances though, and I'm frustrated because I know we can do much better.

We have possibly the second best team on paper in the competition this season, but that team doesn't want or know how to work as a real team yet. This I hope Viera with his leadership can overcome. Ireland for one does not have that midfield leadership quality. Anyone who's worked in big companies knows the difference when IT all falls into place. It's when you instinctively know who's doing what, where and when. No second guessing coz you know your team mates every little nuance. When this happens, followup, predictive passing, having trust your being backed up all fall into place without a second thought. When this happens the team starts playing fluidly and good wins start coming.
 
Big fan of Mancini, but the fact that he fields 3 DMs is ridiculous, the thing is if those DMs were fantastic long passers he could get any with it. Vieira is a fantastic passer short to medium range but he lacks pace. What happened to the 4-4-2 that Mancini used in his earlier matches with Bellamy and Petrov on the flanks. Tevez, Bellamy and Petrov combining in dangerously fast counter attacks? Just don't understand what happened.

Lucky, lucky, lucky....ffs, I'm sorry but under Manchini we've gone backwards, i.e Very mid table shit.

We're in the top four and we've gone backwards? What a joke of a comment! Spoilt with our resources...toys out the pram...simple as!
 
I watched Inter Milan play the other day and it was a carbon copy of our recent games ( for better lets hope. ).Robeto has a long track record at winning leagues...WHY DON'T WE SUPPORT HIM .??????.
