Fair enough mate, and I appreciate everything you're saying, but at the end of the day it really is starting to become worrying under Mancini. I said 3 games ago id give it another 5/6 before I made any sweeping statements on his management, but in all honesty, this side really does look devoid of any confidence and confidence; at such a crucial stage of our season (fixture wise). The next few games really are make or break on whether or not we finish 4th, and I cant honestly say that im confident about them at all.
Tonight wasnt the worst ever, but however people want to dress it up, we lined up AGAIN with 7 defensive minded players (some out of position) in a game that should of never occured considering we had the chance to beat the shite at COMS.
I wasnt Hughes' biggest fan at all, but I can honestly say that I thought it was wrong to sack him when we did to replace him unless it were for Hiddink or Mourinho. Mancini, whilst successful in his homeland, was still an unknown quantity and the other two have won all over the place.
Compare that side with the one that swept aside Arsenal in the cup (albeit weakoned). The comparisons in the ways in which our players went about that game both spirit and quality wise is actually scarey when watching us now. We look frightened to attack teams.
