It's a very good analysis of Mancini's tactics but you can't honestly tell me that Bellamy is leaving because he doesn't fit into that system, and Santa Cruz and Jo are better options up front? And again, you can't say Robinho and an uproven Silva would be more effective than our player of the season in an attacking midfield position? Mancini has a problem with Bellamy and he's said things in the past about Ireland which give the impression he doesn't like him.

.

Look, the high-5 to Redknapp and whatever he said to Moyes are one thing. (plus whatever he may have said to Mancini/Marwood/Cook behind the scenes). I didn't see any of these things with my own eyes, though  they might all add up to a case to get rid. Fair enough.

But can we all stop this talk about 'opening his mouth' or 'being out of order' in the interviews this week.

He explained VERY calmly that he's disappointed and a bit confused about why he's been overlooked, after such a great season. And he stressed time after time that he wanted to stay at City.

What Given said to Sky this week was just as disruptive. What Tevez said to the Mail last season (The players 'hate' Mancini's training) was worse. 
And what Robinho says every time he opens his bloody mouth is much, MUCH worse.

If there  other things have been going on that we don't know about, then fair enough. If we're basing it only  on what we've seen, then Bellamy's been scapegoated and forced out. It's double standards, it's a big shame, and a big loss.

Cheers Craig, you may have been an idiot, but you put the fear of god into defences. It's our loss, and Mancini's mistake.
