Last night I said Mancini out, I'm sorry now

[Drewmanc]

I fully agree with the OP's comments, but I do believe that maybe its time for him to try a more routine formation, stop the 4-5-1 with 2 advanced wingers, and try to play a more balanced 4-4-1-1, pulling AJ and Milner/SWP back towards the halfway line with tevez up front and silva/Balotelli playing in the hole behind. Playing a middle 2 of dejong or yaya or Barry or Milner(should he not be playing on the wing) playing 1 in the centre of mid and one dropping to cover the defence. Dropping AJ further back may not allow him to produce what we know he is capable of but I believe when kolorov is fit he can occupy the winger/full back enough to allow AJ to push on?? The stale unbalanced tactics he is using at the moment are boring to watch and we certainly have the players to attack far more than we are. I do think that if we had an equally skilful right footed winger to play in the advanced LW role he plays at the moment (AJ good on the right, SWP ineffectual and milner average on the left) we would play as a far more balanced side. Anyway WTF do I know......!!!!

forevercity -
Who are we going to replace him with mate?
The only person i would love to have is Jose,we all would,but that aint gonna happen,the only other person who i think would do a good job is Gus Hiddink (spelling) who we would prob go for!

Saying that,i think Bobby is just as good and will do it for us,sacking him would make us look stupid and put us back to fuk knows where!

none of us want any kind of kneejerk reaction that would be detrimental to our great club

Bit late, a lot of us didn't want it last night.

that's why im taking it back Barcon, I was mad last night (and a bit pissed as well) ;0)

look the way we play in hughes time and mancinis .theres a vast difference.now is good.mancini has changed alot.we should get behind club and our manager.he is the best we can get.

i will fire mancini only for mourinho.

i dont buy any of this 'whats another manager going to achieve'.

what is having mancini in charge for 5-10 years going to achieve? we play crap football, for a team with so many defensive midfielders we have less steel than arsenal, the players plainly don't like him, our best player in tevez doesnt agree with him, his subs are shocking, he has no plan 'B'....i could go on...mancini is not the answer

Not yet, not yet.

We need to stick together during times like these, knee jeck reactions will only destablise the club even further and give the media another stick to beat us with.

mate, were getting hammered by the media as it is, so now would be perfect timing to get rid of him. now if mancini had the full backing of the squad and we had this seige mentality about us then I would back mancini, but we dont, we seem to be imploding day by day, no sign of seige mentality

things looked pretty good a WEEK AND A HALF ago when we were 2 pts off chelsea and 3 clear of the rags and arsenal....we've had 2 bad results in the league....give your fuckin head a wobble. we'll see how mancini performs the next few weeks now won't we with him having a pretty much full strength squad available. a week from now we could be looking at 3 straight wins and everything looks brighter again that's how football works.......are you quite young?

Seriously pal, there is not one thing in this post that I could possibly agree with. Every single thing that you are saying here is wrong.

they want him out because they want us to fail? don't you get it?

are you having a laugh?? its without doubt the worst time, the media would love it, theyd feast on it for weeks like a pack of starving hyenas.
we'd be a laughing stock, the club that sacks a manager whos lost 3 games, even after beating the league leaders and we're sitting in 4th position

 

[TFC]

We lose the next two and I have no doubt his position is in serious jeopardy. I dont want the man fired, but I am getting a bit sick and fucking tired of the sideways slow bollocks footy we seem to be playing. I want to see us use the attacking players we have and actually have a go at teams.

Anyway, we shall see what happens I suppose. Fucking City, just when you think things are starting to look up, they'll bring you back down to earth with a bump.

Oh well, roll on Sunday!
