Yes, 'spot on'.
Oo, except for one thing. We know, Mancini knows and everybody else knows that we don't have a play maker in the squad. Not a one. We have one masquerading as one (Mr Ireland), but not a real one.
This gives us two disadvantages. One; not being able to create chances that would make our shot tally rise beyond what it is now, when the players cannot break team down. Two; prevents Tevez from being where he does the most damage up front. He cannot always see the best pass and he tends to hold the ball far too long.
Having a play maker of reputed note allows us two things. One; being able to create chances that would make our shot tally rise beyond what it is now!! and two; allows Tevez to concentrate on doing the damage where he is best off. The last third of the pitch.
Mancini plays with Hughes' team as he said he could do this. He made a rod for his own back but, by and large, he's stuck to that decision and had sh*t loads of gumption to commit to it.
Can I also add that this is a sh*t thread? Also, is the Hughes 'inners' doing the anti Roberto thing? Surely for balance and fairness, give man time to mould a team to his own fashion before condemning him!!?!
