His history and position proves he is a winner. The fact that we are on a footie forum, not managing a PL team, proves that WE are the amatuers.

I agree, my managerial experience is only on a computer game so I am out on that one.
Unfortunately he is in a tinkering phase at the moment.
He needs to go back to the team that played the last eight games of last seaon and won the title, with one or two new additions thrown in.
The longer he keeps on chopping and changing, the longer the eratic performances will contuinue.

My post says similar things and I'm surely an amateur. Doesn't stop me to think that some decisions are strange at least. That's why I am on forums - to express my thoughts :)
The only thing he got wrong today was that he took Dzeko off when he should have taken Aguero off.
Manager not responsible for players not going for the kill. The mistakes were not tactical, they were all to do with decision-making and lack of composure in front of goal.

Okay, only just logged onto bluemoon so not read any posts yet. I'm sure it's been said to death, but Mancini cost us the 3 points by taking Dzeko off (our best player today) instead of Aguero (who was clearly dead on his feet). Dzeko was always an outlet and was making some fantastic runs. As soon as Dzeko went off, the ball just kept coming back. It was inevitable they would score.

I agree that the decision to leave Aguero on and take Dzeko off was nonsensical.
Was not inevitable they would score. They only had one shot on target in the 2nd half until the corner which led to the goalTricky_Trev said:Okay, only just logged onto bluemoon so not read any posts yet.

But we were asking for trouble by not killing them off. We're too wasteful at the moment with the final shot/final ball. Missed Nasri today as Silva was off his game
