Mancini you are gutless

[SuperKevinHorlock]

If we had nicked it last night 1-0 the vast majority on here would be lauding his tactical genius. If Hughes was in charge last night we would have lost.
For all the Mancini outers who do you want to replace him? Beat Birmingham on Saturday 7 points out of 9 and that will get us Champions league football if we keep it up all season.

What are the lotto numbers for Saturday?

I will PM the winning lotto numbers to you.

Nice one. Always good to meet someone who can predict the future.

Just goes to show at City, we have our own fair share of know nowts about football.

That game last night was NO DIFFERENT to the win over Chelsea.

The tactics, the formation. It's merely a fine margin when top teams face each other.

Carlos got his chance against Chelsea, not last night.

I wonder where all that free-flowing football, high entertainment many are calling for, has been the last 30 years?

Cause it sure didn't win us anything.

The team dynamic will change to suit the opposition.

If it's 0-0 at home to Birmingham, then you are entitled to write shit.

Sorry Tolm but I don't agree with that at all

It was set up largely the same as Chelsea but we didn't perform the same.

Against Chelsea we got all over their midfield and for long periods dominated the midfield. Against Liverpool (which was a better performance) we did the same and also got midfielders forward.

Last night we did neither. We defended similar to those two games - very well but we didn't do our other jobs as well.

Now you can say that was down to the players but there were two big problems for me. Both Yaya and partocularly Milner were receiving the ball in dangerous positions but weren't the right players to capitalise. The game was crying out for Adam Johnson. And what was Yaya doing so far up the park?

A 0-0 against United is not a disaster of course. But I don't like Mancini telling me that "last year we lost, this year we drew" as though that makes it alright. I also don't like the fact that he said that losing to them knocked the stuffing out of our season. It did. And that's why it was vital to go and dominate Man Utd.

They aren't that good. They never looked like scoring. If we had bossed the game I think we'd have won comfortably. It would have been a huge lift to the whole club's morale.

It was sympomatic as to why we have underachieved for 12 months under this manager.

I also think a lot of football fans know relatively little about football, so a fans opinion really holds little water in the grand scheme of things.

There's obviously a good few, but i wouldn't say too many, that actually look at how we and other teams set up, strengths, weaknesses options, contingency plans etc and analyse where their team could improve, in their opinion.

Which then goes back to the first bit, they only see 90 minutes of these players each week. Add that to the majority of us knowing little about football and what we as fans think, really shouldn't be taken too seriously.

 

[apple pie corner]

the real fans, the fans who go home and away, are not sure about this guy.

Cheeky Ba$tard!! how the feck do you think that you are a better fan than some of us on here just because you go to away games!

I've had a ST since 78 & never miss at home just can not afford the aways anymore.

When you grow up and have some responsibilities your ideas of "proper fans" may change.

Forza Mancini!!!

So your mate has decided because we drew with a team who are unbeaten in 24 games that thats it for him and Mancini? Unbelieveable.

No. My mate has for 12 months been saying "I still think he'll get it right" and last night admitted he's lost faith.

What was his opinion after Sundays game or did you not speak to him? Just interested if he thought he was getting it right based on that one or was it a matter of wait and see at that point?

Probably just to shut you up Dave !

Gutless is far too strong a word to define anything Mancini has done so far. Cautious seems to be doing the rounds and I'd have no qualms in taking that view.

I fully appreciate that he's trying to build a squad that he can control and get what he wants from, but I'd prefer it if his winning mentality came about by actually winning, rather than the 'let's not get beat' approach. It's ironic that he does that.

Anyway, I'm confident that we'll get it right under him and I'll reserve my underlying doubts. After all, don't wanna be drowned as a witch or owt.

What on earth are you on about - what was wrong with bringiong Korolov on?
Yaya had a better game than you suggest - good runs but nitid marked up extremely well to deny him the outlets.
And now you go on about the non match topics - ie Johnson and Ade
Nitid were playing very well last night and when AJ came on and we lost the defensive aspect of Milner we looked more vulnerable.
Same mistakes week in week out??
4th in the league - beaten Liverpool and Chelsea - drawn with Sprus and Nitid (which we lost last year) - smell the roses a bit more - nothing is perfect but is getting and looking better. Give some credit.[/quote]

kolorov gave the ball away several times in dangerous area's, he isnt used to the intensity of the prem and bringing him on nearly cost us when he casualy lost possession on the outsdie of the box to fletcher who had a clear shot at goal but decided to pass.

yes we are 4th, but we are the laughing stock of the premiership, we are getting laughed at for this boring mundane football we play.[/quote]


Laughing stock of the Premiership?? were 4th FFS which by my maths means 16/20 teams in the league really cant laugh at all.
