Roberto Mancini has grown used to his small, half-serious quips becoming headlines during a season that has, in the main, brought only disappointment.
It was, though, easy to understand what he meant when asked what he thought of Samir Nasri’s much-improved performance for Manchester City on Saturday.
‘I would like to give him a punch,’ smiled Mancini. ‘Because a player like him should play like today always. Always. Every game. Maybe one game sometimes he can play badly but with his quality that is all.’
Nasri was indeed excellent against a poor Newcastle team at the Etihad Stadium. He was excellent when City won in the north-east earlier in the season, too.
On the whole, though, the France international has been disappointing and his failure to deliver, mirrored by too many others in Mancini’s squad, has contributed to what has been a pretty limp defence of the Barclays Premier League title.
‘I don’t know what the difference was today,’ continued Mancini. ‘I can’t understand sometimes a player with his quality doesn’t play like today every game. I think that the second year is always difficult to win again. And sometimes a player can think it is enough to play 50 per cent. Probably we had this problem this year.
‘I don’t know if Samir agrees but I think that every player is intelligent and is clever to understand his performance. I think that today he knows that he played very well.’
The lack of eye contact between Mancini and Vincent Kompany when the City captain was substituted perhaps indicates that tension remains after the defender’s decision to play for Belgium against his manager’s wishes last week.
‘Vinny knows his behaviour was not good,’ said Mancini. However, it is what happens between now and the end of the season that is more important than issues with individual players.
Mancini spent a good length of time in his office with chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak after Saturday’s game and one would imagine the conversation revolved around the importance of finishing this campaign well.
Saturday’s win means that Mancini’s team cannot, at least, officially concede the title when they play Manchester United at Old Trafford next Monday. Following that game comes an FA Cup semi-final against the winners of the replay between United and Chelsea.
‘We want to get second position, for sure,’ he said. ‘We know that Tottenham is very close but they’ve played one game more than us — our target is this, second position and to win the FA Cup.’<br /><br />-- Sun Mar 31, 2013 11:33 pm --<br /><br />
Nope, I agree. Pretty poor form imo.

Lol look at Al looking all gay in the back ground......get you Pardew.....!!!
Look I don't give my boss love bites either, it don't mean we don't get on, it just means we respect each other.
Edit: just found out shay given (the ex manchester city goal ace) has been cheating on his wife.......well done mancini for outing this filthy villain, sir your hindsight is fantastic. I doubt the shithouses won't give bobby any credit for sniffing out this love rat......

Apparently this displays Kompany's feeling of empowerment according to today's hackfestRammy Blue said:

Mancini only acknowledged Silva yesterday in his substitutions.
I've never had Mancini down as a good man management kind of guy, i still haven't seen anything to change my mind.

Kompany will be one of the few that have played for and managed city, Mancini never will.
