mancini 100% the way forward

Re: mancini 100% the forward

The problem is that Mancini only has one tactic in these situations and that is to spend more money.

The thing is that he has already spent an unprecedented amount of money in building this team.

There comes a point where tactical nouse and astute management skills also have to come into play rather than just waving a chequebook to solve a problem. There comes a point when the manager has to prove that he can make the whole greater than the sum of the parts, rather than the sum of the parts being significantly greater than the whole.

Unfortunately, this is where it all comes crashing down.

Anyone for Zabba in midfield yet?

We were over run yet again but still people can't see the gaps.

I thought it was 'Zabba for president'!

You never really know how good a manager is until you back them 100%.

He didn't get that backing this summer, or the back room staff weren't good enough to deliver.

So. Your stance over the last few threads is...none of this is Mancini's fault...it's the players, backroom staff, and the board? Fuck me.

There have been lots of failures this season and I'm not foolish enough to believe that they're ALL Mancini's fault, nor foolish enough to believe none of them are his fault!

For example, people were saying the other day that we don't shoot enough but the pre game stats showed we have exactly the same amount of shots this season as last. In fact lots of the stats were the same. That suggests a lack of form in our strikers. Dips in form you can't really legislate for really. Mancini knew we needed a more clinical attacker and targeted RvP. We didn't get him and we're living to regret it. He knew our midfield was weak so target De Rossi... We didn't get him and now we're paying the price. Same with Hazard.

The identification of these problems in the squad and need to improve should be something we recognize as a positive trait from a manager but no one gives him credit. It's never credit where credit is due on here. It's a player love fest when we win, and a manager slag fest when we lose. That's not fair in my opinion

You can follow me around the forum and misrepresent what I'm saying all you want, but if you truly look back through what I say you'll find nothing but consistency and reasoned logic in my posts.

I'm a supporter of Mancini, you're right, however, I don't think he's infallible, but neither is everyone else in the club. Not the players, the back room staff, or anyone else who has an effect on our 'on-pitch' performances.

Placing the blame 100% on Mancini is just as lazy as the performance we saw tonight!

He should identify better alternatives next time.

Pretty much this

Um. When the entire team plays like shit, you can only blame the person who leads them. How many fullbacks did we have on the pitch in the 85th minute chasing a 3-1 lead? How many of those fullbacks came on AFTER WE WERE DOWN BY 2 GOALS? How many came on in the final 20 minutes of the match???

How many centerbacks were left on the bench in favor of a less-than-bedded central midfielder playing in his place?

How many times has Mancini made baffling-as-fuck decisions this season? I've never seen a manager in the top level of any league in the world make so many decisions that can be pointed to and said of: "Just what the fuck kind of drugs is he ingesting?"

How many managers have you seen change a formation that won a league title, to another formation which immediately lets in a goal, and then change back to the previous formation that was causing problems? How many times have you seen that happen in the space of 10 minutes in a CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MATCH???

If you've seen the above situation before Mancini produced it, then how many times have you seen the Manager that caused such a travesty keep testing the formation out throughout an entire season, usually when the team is already under pressure??

we were better today after he went to three at the back as in many games this season when we went behind

I'm not convinced Mancini is the answer....

Can one of the people enjoying the Bobby Love-in please explain why he brought Maicon on when he has a game changer in Sinclair? He's totally lost me.....

How do you know he didn't? but Marwood couldn't get the deals done?

That's right. You don't.
