From Mancini's own mouth when talking about the Liverpool game..
"I'm happy with all the players. Tonight there were six English players, which is important. We need an English mentality."
He also said when he signer Milner that he was happy because he was English and how very important that is.
But sure..why would that matter. It's just me being paranoid. FFS like.
To be fair your right Mancini has quoted that a number of times about how important it is to have English players. I honestly feel the club dont want to be classed in the Arsenal bracket were the team is made up of non English players. I think it is a way of not having as much media hound them down over the transfer dealings.
No - it has nothing to do with that, It is because:
Milner is better than Ireland
Hart is better than Given
Johnson is better than SWP (another English if you look)
Barry is better than Gelson
Bridge was better than Garrido
We only replaced players with English ones when they were better than who we had in place.
And as I said above, there is nothing wrong with having an English backbone (so long as they are good enough), at an English club in the EPL is there.
