Re: Is now the time to consider Mancini's tenure at the clubs

Some people are taking the Piss talking about Benitez as a possible replacement he was the manager who Balls it up big time when at Christmas they were on track on winning the league so what they won the champions. League do people forget they were 0-3 down with his inept tactics in the first place! Ask your self this would the scum Madrid or even Psg employ him as there manager?

Not to be argumentative but Madrid twice tried to poach Benitez from Liverpool. He was also on the shortlist to replace Kombuare at PSG. I don't think he's the right guy for City mind you - but he's a very good coach and Liverpool's travails since he's left are testament to that.

I'm surprised the number of people who are surprised or shocked by what happened last night. I was absolutely gutted but neither surprised nor shocked. I said after the Dortmund game on here that Ajax would prove to be as tough a task and that although they had lost by three goals to Madrid they had created numerous chances and would do the same against us.

I don't think we'll get through this group now, no chance. I think realistically we need to consider throwing the remaining games to make sure we don't end up in the Europa League because it's a tournament the players and coaching staff simply don't care about enough to win. I'd rather we focussed on the league.

As for Mancini, he continues to have little clue about how to motivate his team in Europe. Not a problem for now because the league is priority - but if this malaise effects our league performances then he will be under an enormous amount of pressure.

Apart from the Benitez bit that's a good and balanced post. I said three years before we 'worry' about the champs league but if we keep suffering defeats in the manner we did last night there will be pressure on Mancini. We need a bit of luck at the moment or a big win. If we win in Dortmund we'll still have a chance but the likely hood now is that we need to be a bit luckier with the draw. We just need to get through a group and see what happens.

I think the thread is sadly lacking in the kneejerk overreaction department.
Remind me where we were ten years ago?
Now a failure on the European stage means the end of the world is nigh.
Maybe a bit of perspective is in order here.
Either that or just sack everyone involved with the club and restart as St Marks.

Mancinis hair isn't as nice as it was last season


I'm not saying the two are connected but no smoke with out fire

Re: Is now the time to consider Mancini's tenure at the clubs

This is a massive learning curve for the club as a whole. This shows the lack of quality of the Prem against the rest of the European Leagues. Fuck even them twats across the road struggled against (in the their opinion) a far inferior side.

We had chances to nick the game last night but just didn't have the luck. Chelsea won the CL last year, and they were lucky as hell.

Things have not gone well for us in this group but when you look at the Madrid and Ajax games, the goals conceded were down to individual mistakes. The players need to take a look at themselves.

Pressure is on RM - but we need to see the response for the rest of the season. RM needs to get the team playing with pace and width, that is still lacking in my opinion.

Re: Is now the time to consider Mancini's tenure at the clubs

You´re right, we can´t keep spending (although RedRom doesn´t seem to think so 200m in 18 months). What we need is to buy the RIGHT players. We could have had Dembele for the price of Rodwell and Cazorla for the price of Garcia - just a thought

Exactly ! I made a post some time ago on how we could have gotten Dembele (who's could be a great cover for Yaya in January and could also play alongside Yaya) and Vertonghen instead of Nastasic . While Nastasic has the potential of being a world class defender is still believe vertonghen would have been better , However the transfer window is over and Mancini MUST use what he has , he must prove that he's a developmental coach and not a "buying" coach .

not any manager -nor even jesus christ- can develop the likes of lescott in football players

We find ourselves in total agreement on your last point!

Maybe a bit of perspective is in order here.

If you want perspective - place the Dortmund, Ajax, and City teams side by side. Look at the cost of each team, the experience at European and International level, the pedigree of the players involved, then ask yourself how it comes to pass that we are the worst team in the group playing the worst football.

Certainly it's a gross overreaction to say Mancini needs to go - but it's also pathetically "ikkle City" to talk about where we were 10 years ago as if that makes a blind bit of difference to our current squad and their current expectations.

Mancini isn't a managerial deity, and he certainly isn't beyond criticism. Last night he made the biggest mistake at the most crucial part in the match which ultimately cost us the killer 3rd goal. That's why he made some attempt to take responsibility although his pathetic response when questioned about changing tactics ("there is only won tactic, run and score") sounded straight out of 'Arry's excuse manual.

Yeah,but you can prove anything with facts and logic mate.
Someone seemingly has to pay.
For something or other.
Oh - I don't know - It's all a big mess,and I'm not sure who can clean it up.
Whatever it is.

sorry mate nice graph and all but the truth is we got 3 points on saturday and none last night so that means we're heading into a downward spiral

Re: Is now the time to consider Mancini's tenure at the clubs

Less perspective, more reality is required.

The reality is that it doesn't matter if those who defend Bobby believe a Premier League title will be more than sufficient.

For me, it's the most important.

For Sheikh Mansour, he won't be happy his fantastic investment is currently the ridicule of European football.

And the reality is, take the Champions League performances out of the equation....

Separate the thrilling momentum of the six game run-in of last season...

I have not enjoyed watching us blindly grasp for a performance or a result since last December.

Re: Is now the time to consider Mancini's tenure at the clubs

Nevermind Mancini, look at our record in Europe since Mansour took over us, if anyone should be looking at their position, it's him.

This has quite clearly been Photoshopped and turned upside down to make things look better.
Another fucking conspiracy to stop us achieving global domination by Christmas.
Ban this poster and sack Swales.

Must be a worry how your season has gone thus far?

Surely someone must be held accountable
