people keep saying this "someone elses squad"....what we seem to forget is these "someone elses players" managed to beat teams in the past, as they were asked to play to their better abilities
mancini has taken the same players and stifled them into a role he wants a player to perform in that position
now, i am not saying this is wrong....mancini has a vision for his team and a way he wants to play
my argument is; if mancini doesnt currently have the players to be able to adequately play in the style mancini wants, then mancini should be implementing a tactic that will get the best out of the players we currently have and i'm afraid his current tactic of trying to nick a draw is not the ideal way to approach it
then next season he can replace those players that dont fit into his style of play
Mancinis first task was to shore up a leaky team. Our GD is now the best of our rivals - we didnt nick draws against Burnley and Brum. If it hadnt been for a last minute lack of concentration we'd have picked up two draws against Utd ad Ars, which most of us wouldve taken beforehand - and wouldve seen us now in 4th with 2 home games from 3. Blame ireland, SWP and Bellers for that, not Mancini
