its the manner in which we play games that grinds me personally. his tactics seem to be one dimensional, teams have sussed us. possessional football has never worked in the PL and never will do.
who would i have instead? jose, hiddink, sven just off the top of my head.
and as far as 'the merry round continues' wouldnt you rather see some good football, an inspirational manager at a cost of just one or two more seasons? there are many blues who are not enjoying the football at the moment and mancini's way of playing is partly down to that.
i know we need stability, but christ, let us enjoy the football
and yet you are advocating Jose as his replacement. Did you see Mancini's inter after a year he had been there?
tbh...all that shows is mancini is slightly better at understanding the italian game, hardly surprising really..the stats below show mancini's real strengths were all domestic based, league, cup & super cup....and for all that domestic monopoly he never managed to get any form of european glory, as his style just doesn't match up to strong european play
mourinho however did manage to show his strengths in europeam football winning a treble for the first time in italian history
