Negative players or negative tactics...

[bluemanc]

The players aren't happy with the tactics & i'm not either.
It's alright him shaking his fuckin head but i'm paying to watch that shite he's asking them to serve up.
We started the game like we were fucked, & the times the ball gets played backwards from our midfield has gone way beyond a joke.

Personally i thought he second half performance was on a par with chelsea 2nd half. The tactics needed tweaking, which mancini did, gordon made 3/4 superb saves, and when your supply source, swp-bellamy have on off day its pretty hard to penetrate in behind.......he duly changed this with his subs and it had the desired effect. So in answer to your question-negative players/performances.

Negative players or negative tactics...

or just negative posters??

I would have taken a point at Sunderland at the start and am satisfied with the point now.

We are still the hardest team to beat in the league.

lol, how negative were you and mike D over hughes, he lost TWO game and that was by default.

lets say hughes was'nt good enough for city, then purely on results and performances niether is mancini, so as i have always said, why change?

Its the personnel at Mancinis disposal thats the problem

Is that why he started a right back in central midfield, then moved him to Left back and then to his proper position?
And when moving Pab Zab to right back moved a midfielder to left back?

For the start of the first half, we had a back four, three defensive midfielders, two wide players and a small forward. This meant that we invited the opposition to attack us knowing that we had to counter attack on the ground, and the pitch was not designed for free flowing foolball.
Once Wayne got injured, bobby Manc made the right choice in adding some height to our attack (or our first line of defence), meaning that a clearance did not automatically result in us losing posession and being under pressure again.
If we are going to play with three central midfielders then at least ome of them MUST be told to get forward at every oppertunisy to support our attack.
(although the ploughed field didnt help our pass and move game)

The difference is Mancini has won many trophies Hughes has not.... There was nothing to be positive about with Hughes... now we have the world at our feet.

Rubbish...... hughes would of lost that game, didn't have the balls to make the big shouts.......his start up team is the same one which would finnish a game.

I take serious offense to being called an arsehole by a fucking schoolboy rag.

Either contribute to the debate or fuck off back under your Scholes duvet you snivelling little prick.

I thought a more apt title should be -

Negative players/negative tactics or negative supporters!

I think Mancini's Italian mentality means that we are set up too defensively.

Why else would he play 3 defensive midfielders?

Maybe Ireland instead of Zabaleta would have unlocked their defence once or twice more down the middle.

Having said that, Gordon had an outstanding game today, so maybe we should be happy with a point.

But I'm not.
