Is Mancini Going Crazy?

[SWP's back]

One thing like that doesn't reflect on his man management overall

It does to me. He also went straight to his office after the 0-0 derby at COMS.

A large part of English football management is people management - manipulation if you like. Get into their heads and make them want to smash down walls for you - and believe they can.

He should have in that dressing room at half time, talking to them all one by one, geeing them up, telling them they are the better side. Talking about their individual battles, what to do second half.

Who was geeing them up? Les Chapman?

Amazing how he has done so well at previous clubs given his lack of any clue on the man management side.

Especially when compared with Dismal and your proven track record of........ oh.

"A 0-0 scoreline is dangerous," said Mancini. "A 1-1 scoreline, with an away goal, would be better, but it will be a different game in Manchester.
"Everything is open. We have a chance of going through because we play at home on a different pitch. Here the pitch wasn't good.

"I said before the game it would be difficult because the pitch wasn't good.

"Aris put 10 players behind the ball in the first-half and if we had scored they would have had to come out and play, but they could sit back and wait."

Above quote from the 'Mancini cranking it up' thread.

Looks like some journo making something up somewhere!

His remarks about Dzeko are different too....

You all choosing to ignore this then? Is it not negative enough for you?

How is that negative? He speaks the truth. If we were going to draw, 1-1 would have been better.

I think he is. few weeks ago he said SWP lost his confidence ! and now is saying publicly that Dzeko must improve and he is expecting much from him !

Can you tell me where the publicly/Dzecko comments are to be found ?

You've misunderstood me mate. I was pointing out that this is really what Bobby said, as opposed to what the OP said. Yet people chose not to read it because it wasn't negative enough for their agenda.

1 -1 would have been better, but so fuck! We didn't exert ourselves too much and shouldn't have much of a problem in the 2nd leg. City don't worry, about a thing...

The silence on Mancinis "quotes" is deafening.

I'm amazed at the level of criticism aimed at both the manager and players on 'Blue Moan'.
Is it the case that we have a couple of hundred experienced managers / players active in the forum or is it the case that a small number of overly enthusiastic posters have kicked an old bladder around the local park and had a dabble at fantasy football to the degree that they all think they know so much more than the professionals?

Maybe I'm just too humble but I think that Mancini is far better placed than I am to do his job so I'll leave him to it. If he doesn't achieve the season's outcome that he agreed with the owners at the start of the season then they (those who really pay) will decide what to do next. . .
From a personal perspective I'm hoping we get 4th spot and I'm hoping he'll stay to complete the project he started not so long ago. If others (the experts [huh?]have already come to a firm and negative opinion then perhaps they'd like to explain why they think that RM should be blessed with a level of instant result that has historically eluded the very best managers that the world has to offer.
If there was any logic to the sniping then at least we'd have something to debate rather than suffering knee jerk criticism without any foundation so often.

If Mancini is so good a manager, as some on here won't have any criticism of him, why was he sacked from Inter Milan?

Because he was unable to deliver Champions League success.

Don't think it was due to "winning an Inter club record 3 consecutive Serie A titles and a European record 17 consecutive league game victories stretching nearly half-a-year, becoming Inter's most successful manager in 30 years. Furthermore, Mancini guided the clubs he managed to a record 5 consecutive Coppa Italia finals from 2004 to 2008, with Lazio once in 2004 and with Inter in the following 4 seasons."

Perhaps you can explain what op was getting at then.
