Mancini out? (merged)

[citygirl77]

The first lose for months and people are baying for RM to go, where would the scum be if they did that every time they lost. Has the word "STABILITY" got lost on our support for team and management.

Mark Hughes was sacked after like 10 draws in a row. You don't have to lose to be sacked.

For one he wasn't our owners manager and they backed him to the hilt for longer than some think they should off bottom line Mancini is our owners first choice manager and no one knows how much time they will give a manager they might be the type that back him again with money in the summer NO ONE KNOWS

Agreed

What if the toffees beat the scum ? it'll still be 9 points behind. Anythings possible and i'm the biggest pessimistic idiot there is.



Just looking for some light in all the gloom.

Forget it; they'd still be nine points ahead. That means if we won every game on the run in (which we won't), the vermin would have to lose two more games as well as the derby. That's three defeats in 12 games; they've only lost three in 25 up to now. Not going to happen, so stop torturing yourself.




Anyway; they won't lose to Everton.

Re: Mancini out?

Really De Niro? Can you actually tell me what Mancini is paid £8million a year for? Is he just meant to pick a team week in week out and say "there you go, job done! now it's down to the players!"

there is no way mancini told joe to drop the ball or barry to finish like a world class forward.

Did that team take to the pitch yesterday as a highly motivated, fully focused unit, determined to try to defend it's title by putting in the necessary effort to win a tricky fixture, thereby putting pressure on United to win today? If not, why not? Fair enough, we don't have a divine right to win a football match, but there was one team on that pitch yesterday giving everything for the cause, and it wasn't us. This was a crucial game and we were lethargic and sloppy. This is totally unacceptable and why the spotlight falls firmly on the manager.

Pains me to say it but I agree with every word here.We have better players than most but don't seem able to play to our maximum ability for the full 90 mins.Lethargic and sloppy are the by-words for me

Performances have been diminishing under Mancini all season. We may only have lost 3, but look at how many we have drawn due to the same old failings, which the management are seemingly oblivious to. Lost 3, yep, but we also have a very real possibility (probability) of being 12 points behind United tonight. They could lose 4 games between now and the end of the season, but do you have the confidence in us, at the moment to do our bit???

A week or so ago we could have beaten QPR and made it a 2 point gap. We have picked up 2 points out of a possible 12- against QPR, Liverpool and Southampton (hardly Everton, Chelsea and United) and now will be 12 points behind.

The difference about yesterday though, was that it wasn't even the same old problems that let us down. It wasn't the inability to break down teams- we are appalling to a man. Everyone was abysmal, lacking in effort, lacking in care, lacking in structure. Maybe apart from Aguero, who I thought worked hard, but everyone else just looked disinterested.

Yesterday smacked of a 'lost the dressing room performance'. Our most dependable players were anything but. The game was so surreal; I honestly cannot believe how poor we were. In all seriousness, have we looked that bad since the Pearce era. ONly one I can think of is the Spurs game under Hughes, and I think yesterday was worse.

Something was wrong yesterday, that was worse than just a bad performance.

Totally agree but what i was trying to get across is that i don't like what some of our fans are becoming. Obviously i would sooner be 2 points behind the rags than 12 and yes the chances of us winning the title this year are pretty much gone, However i have seen much worse City sides and much worse managers. Fuck me we employed Alan Ball, i have faith in our owners and i believe they will put right whatever is wrong. now if this means replacing Bobbie with another manager then there will be no argument from me. By the same score if they stand by him then so will i.

You forgot to mention York away

no need to, every member of bluemoon was there that night so it goes without saying. :)

We lost £97 million last season.

You think a new manager is going to get a blank cheque book with FFP in operation?

There might be some spending, but it wont be comparable to recent seasons and we're no longer Champions or the up and coming team in Europe that everyone looked to

Ah the old stability argument, apart from rags not really been the same for anyone else. Wenger isn't pulling up trees and Chelsea win on average a cup a season with a change of manager every 2 minutes

Agreed mate, the stability argument is an unconvincing one. Almost as unconvincing as saying don't grumble cos only a few years ago we weren't very good.

This may have been commented on. I was in a bad mood before the game even started yesterday. As soon as i saw that Zabeleta had been stripped of the captaincy for no reason. Why even do something like that?

Exactly this! I can only speculate; Mancini totally loosing the dressing room and trying to forge alliance with the only key player (Yaya) he hasn't alienated yet. Please Roberto, leave before any more damage is done, and I will always be grateful for the good times we had together.

He didn't strip him of the captaincy PMSL. Yaya is obviously the standby captain and te only reason Zab has had it is because he was away.

It's not about the loss.
It's about the manner and the timing of the loss.
Set to go into battle, fighting for the retention of OUR title.
We limp to a draw with Liverpool.
Big chance to set the record straight again yesterday. Big chance to lay down a marker.
We did not show up. Did not look like Champions. Did not play like Champions.
It's perfectly acceptable for people to be asking the question WHY NOT?
I suspect from his interviews, Mancini is asking himself the very same question.

Agree with you Jim , on all points !

We just haven't been up to the mark this season ... and we're relying on another team to implode , a team that had it's 'bad run' at the start of the season !

Would they have dared to play like that under mourinho?
