I enjoyed 2010-2013 more than the last four years I know that. Mancini had the task of toppling of United and bacon face.
He shut that lot up.
Until Pep wins the CL his achievements will never be better than that.
Put simply, we haven’t won anything under Pep that we haven’t already won. And we haven’t won a derby in years let alone batter them in their own backyard.
So many things wrong with this post where to start....
Its human nature to look back at things and only remember the good times, besides it’s more fun when it is all new to you. You can’t beat your first time!
we haven’t won a derby in years? We beat them last year in the league cup semi final.
I must have missed us winning the domestic treble under Mancini? I must have imagined us struggling in Europe under mancini? I must have have forgotten mancini leading us to an unprecedented 101 points breaking numerous long standing premier league records along the way. Must have been out the country as well when Mancini retained the premier league title.
Pep has changed the game in this country, I watch non league sides now playing with sweeper keepers passing out from the back etc. Promoted teams now going with managers like potter, farke, frank, Parker etc. The old dinosaurs like Hughes have been finally left behind. That is all a legacy of peps reign here at city. Even the national manager has us playing out from the back (albeit not very well!).
Mancini was fucking brilliant he really was. Love the guy to pieces even to the extent my first born is named Bobby (wife wouldn’t go with roberto). But pep has taken us up a couple of levels. We are now a winning machine we look to win every competition we enter and we have the mentality of an elite side.
Mancini got rid of the mercenaries and Won us two fantastic trophies but pep has not only changed the English game he has absolutely dominated domestically. We have won something like 10 of the last 14 domestic trophies. That is absolutely ridiculos
