Mancini Football Management Skills

[City_Sean]

Mancini is a brilliant manager, but unfortunately this summer we didnt get our targets, it happens
if wed have pulled off signing hazard, de rossi and RVP we'd be a huge threat, unfortunately we had to settle for second best. its football it happens. i agree we need to spend again though as garcia, rodwell, maicon arent the type of players who will take us forward.

I have to keep saying it because no-one ever addresses the points made. It's just global "you're wrong" without any reasoning.

I don't buy the argument that we are still 'learning to play in the CL'. The current Dortmund team and their coach are in their second year in the CL and have just taken 4 points off Real Madrid. Malaga have qualified after four games by taking four points off Milan and winning their other two. How often have PSG been in the Champions League recently?

You can argue that City messed up at the Bernabau and that was maybe a lack of experience, but taking 1 point from 2 games against an average Ajax team is down to nothing other than ineptitude.

Mancini is the most overrated and lucky manager in European football right now. He was given the cheque book and the resources to turn City into a European giant and at the moment he is turning a great looking team into a shambles. Any half decent coach would have walked the Premier League last season with our squad, yet he is praised basically because we won it, and won it in such dramatic style. But that papers over the huge cracks in his managerial style.

This CL campaign is showing him up for what he is, a chequebook coach with no real ability to alter things for the better. Forget comparisons with Ferguson and his first two CL campaigns. He didn't have anywhere near the resources or playing staff that Mancini has at his disposal right now. Do you honestly believe if any one of Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho, Guardiola, Klopp, Hiddink, Capello or even Benitez had been given that team and that chequebook that they would have us bottom of this group with 2 points, or would have not had that league won with games to spare last season?

The league was won in spite of him, not because of him. His tactics and substitutions are baffling, and he consistently gets about 75% out of his players rather than a 100%.

three trophies in two years... Blooming eck some people on here need to focus on the bigger picture rather than thinking he is not good enough after a slow start to the season!

Holy shite, not this again!!

Can't the guy have a couple of underperformed games without him getting it in the neck..

Come on lads, have we not learnt anything over the last 30 years, we need to hold on to mancini. The guys got class and will become one of the very best coaches.

How anyone can say that he can't man manage is laughable, he's bent over backwards to accommodate players.

You expect to be treated with any kind of respect with that kind of talk? I can't wait until we win a game again just so you crawl back from under your stone until we lose again.

Absolute bollocks.

unfortunately we had to settle for second best.

I'd argue we even got that standard.

DD has it bang on the money.

Absolute bollocks.

You and Jay just prove the point.

Why is it?

The term "class" is often used on this forum and I hear it bandied about on the terraces on the few occasions I can make it to games. Normally directed to opposition fans and exclaiming their lack there of.

We are currently going through the most successful period in our history and people are criticising the team and manager.

It beggars belief.
