Mancinis lack of creative flair in the squad will cost us.

Listen to Bobby at the end...not dissapointed or frustrated with how we played.
Well Mancini should be then.
This was a league 1 side, and not a great one either, they're ONE point above a relegation place, and in the last 3 games at that level 2 draws, 1 defeat, 1 goal.
Credit to them that they raised their game, but we considerably lowered ours, because we didn't have the players playing to win the game, Silva and Tevez primarily, but without Silva, Yaya isn't as good, and Milner wide is as big a waste of a shirt as Jo, and that is a damning indictment of the lad.

Maybe Silva would of been a better option but others have said we picked a team that should of got the win today but didnt.
We did have but we got rid of the fooker - game was crying out for Bellars - thats a fookin disgrace

Yaya had the best chance first half...should have scored....Dzecko would have scored more if he was up to speed...we were comfortable...they had one chance all game.We will murder them at home and get a home draw against a team we should beat.
Birmingham away concerns me far more and I am glad of players rested.

Could MJ be the player we need in midfield?
In midfield, we have...
Silva
Barry
Milner
Vieira
Toure
De Jong
M.Johnson
A.Johnson
SWP
Now AJ has got a long term injury and it looks like SWP is leaving this window that leaves us with no wide players. I find it disappointing that we've got to this point like this, Why didn't we replace Bellamy? If you wasn't going to play SWP why not look for another wide player this window?

Would be a more creative player than Barry , Paddy , and Milner. If he gets fit he has every chance of playing his way into the team. I wonder now if the club will let him go out on loan now that AJ is out for a couple of months.

Mancini doesn't play with wingers its simple, so he won't be that concerned by lack of wide players, even with them in the squad he mostly uses them as impact players, the width is to come from the full backs (see Micah today). Like it or not, this is how he will continue to play.PSmyth07 said:Now AJ has got a long term injury and it looks like SWP is leaving this window that leaves us with no wide players.

What we really need in that midfield is more pace, AJ alone isn't enough.
