Mancini or Hughes - you decide ?

[squirtyflower]

scary that people aren't allowed opinions on a forum by those who shout loudest about their opinions

Not allowed?

That would only happen if the mods selectively deleted posts on the basis of opinions, and that doesn't happen here.

agreed with the mods

[Mancio]

The funniest thing is to read people who say "Hughes has bought good players."
what ?
good are Adebayor and Tevez, but which other good players?
Mancini took a squad which is missing a right-back, a left-back, a good goalie on the high balls, the reserves for central midfielders, and a good attack midfielder .
and all this after they spent 200 million on a team that was ninth before Hughes.
ridiculous.

Bellamy
Kompany
De Jong
SWP
Barry (sometimes)
Given
all Hughes buys!

do you really think they are at european level ??

Bellamy--------- 30 years and knees probs
Kompany-------- ok
De Jong-------- average
SWP--------- too little and lightweight
Barry (sometimes) average and old
Given --------- good , very good for average team , definitely not for a top team , on the high balls is terrible and give unsafed sense to all the defense.

It's just the way some people are. They are made angry and anxious by contrary opinion and want it to be removed.

silly me
thought the forum supported contrary opinion
i'll get back on the soma now and agree that everything is rosy in the garden

Mancio you have not got a clue.

Maradona too small, Pele too small, Crouch too tall, Gazza to big.

Since when does a sensible person judge a player on height and weight?

It is a very sad wind-up.

The forum does. It's just a few people in it don't.

Yeah. But imagine if Tevez was 6' 3"? He's letting us down week in and week out by being too short.

Could we get SWP to sit on Tevez' shoulders against Hull and pretend that it is only the one 6'3" player?

I wasnt sure that sacking Hughes was the right move.
I wasnt sure appointing Bobby was the right move.
The club decided to make both moves so I will support them, and in doing so support the current manager (although there are some tactics he wouldnt use).

pretty much agree with this.

imo anyone giving the answer 100% in favour of one or the other is a numpty. if you want to comment on the topic you have to analyse strengths and weaknesses fairly. and imo there is very little fact available, just opinion and conjecture.

player procurement both managers targets have been subject to much conjecture, but we can only really judge them on the facts. i think hughes was extremely good on this score. mancini is still to be judged.
defensive coaching (or when they have the ball) mancini
offensive coaching (or when we have the ball) hughes
starting 11 some curious ones by mancini, petrov belongs on the left wing surely!
in game tactics up until today i'd have said mancini. still do tbh.
substitutions
handling of media i think both guys have been fine on this score
handling of superstar egos unsure on this i thought hughes did ok whereas mancini has shipped robbie out.
academy development weiss got a couple of games under hughes. but the introduction of boyata has been a master stroke. so full marks to mancini on this one.
cup runs hughes
performances against sky 4 both managers 100% at home, lost to rags away.
performances against minnows too many draws by hughes. clinical by mancini
performances against rivals lost to spurs and everton away so about equal i guess.
