Ok – I was extremely annoyed on Saturday evening and I have been very sceptical of Mancini for some time. I have been laughed off the forum for my opinion.
Now I have had a couple of days to get over my annoyance of the weekend catipulation. See my facts below.
Last season – We were by far the strongest squad in the Premier League yet we beat a far weaker UTD side on Goal Difference and we beat them twice last season, which means they still managed to accumulate more points than us across the season
Take the 2 Derby’s out:-
MUFC 89
MCFC 83
We had problems last season and the have not been addressed by the manager. The team lacks pace and penetration. Our away form was poor for the squad we had last season. See below

Final Observation – Football has changed. Mancini who is a good man just doesn’t have (in my opinion) the attributes to be top class. He needs to be a man manager . Fergie, Rednapp, Mourinho, Klopp, Pep – all get the best from their players by this method.
The days of ruling with an iron fist are over. In my opinion – Bobby has been great but time to move on and for us to step to the next level
