Thing is Maicon was declining as soon as Jose left. We bought a shot Maicon. Like a 57plate car but with 220k on the clock. Still looks good but the engine is fucked.

That's true but at the point we signed him, whilst Mancio was trying to say he was still one of the best right backs in the world another Inter fan came on saying that he was a once great player (who he had a lot of affection for) who was now only able to produce 2 or 3 top class performances a season as he hadn't aged well. I'd have settled for letting him go on a free just to get his wages off the books. If we can make a profit on him, it'll be incredible business.

Well, for 75 minutes it was an unfit Maicon vs Ronaldo/Marcelo and we didn't concede, then Zab came on and we conceded 3 with 2 coming down that side.Coljj said:Remeber Mancini starting him away to Madrid despite not even being match fit and Ronaldo giving him kittens. That should have been Zaba/Milner vs Ronaldo/Marcelo.
Maybe Maicon didn't do too badly there in hindsight.

I thought Maicon was decent v Madrid.
Ronaldo didn't get past him that many times (tbf he laughs at most full backs) and he even swapped wings to have a go at Clichy because he wasn't getting anywhere.
When Zab came on he swapped back and tore us apart.
Still can't believe we lost that match! FFS!

When Zab came on we changed formation to a back five and he was put at wing back.
Still I think he was at fault for their 1st after harrying Ozil into a crowded central area and that left Marcelo completely free when they switched to get them back it in.
Then again it was Mancini's tinkering with formation changes, especially in the ECL, that really messed things up.
