Plain and simple, our contact in the middle of the field was nowhere near up to scratch, in fact, it was disgraceful. I’ve told them in there, I’m going to lay it firmly at the door of our forwards. We weren’t tackling with our shoulders; too many arms; not getting tight enough and not working hard enough in the ruck area. They just marched us downfield and I don’t think they strung too many passes together themselves offensively because they didn’t need to. Until you get a grip of that area, I don’t think you’ve got much chance.
Yeah you're right, Mancini should take responsibility for 25+million strikers not finishing chances. REALLY?@BluePhil8 said:It might be acceptable as a one off. The problem is Mancini does this everytime we lose. It is normally the strikers fault because "when you have chance to score, you must score". Just pushing the blame from himself to the players which is sly.
He's not singled one player out there for some individual and fairly extreme criticism. That's what I have a problem with Mancini for on this occasion.Caveman said:I know it's a different sport but coaching is similar across many sports; but Richard Agar, the coach of Super League side Wakefield, said this last week:

Yesterday they won 36-20 and were much better in the forwards.
Good point. I suppose it can knock a player's confidence and faith when singled out.Dubai Blue said:He's not singled one player out there for some individual and fairly extreme criticism.
