Mancini's one saving grace in the last few years has been his domestic form. Even during our absolutely shite European tours, we've done reasonably well either in the league (Champions) or in cups (FA Cup win, Carling Cup semi). But this year has been woeful. We've only played well 3 or 4 times, and gone out in the cup to a shocking Villa side.
This team has gone backwards. You can't blame that on the signings, because we have the same core players as last season. His substitutions can only be described as wank, the system he has tried to change us to is shite and the football we play is even worse. It seems like every game these days when we need to score in the last minute! It's simply not good enough.
That being said, he should be given chance to turn it around. He's led us into one of the best periods of our history, we can't bin him at the first hurdle when we're finally at the top.
But we need to change how we're playing. Now.
Mancini in. For now.
