Touré snub highlights problems plaguing City

Wolverhampton Wanderers 2 Manchester City 1

By David Instone

Monday, 1 November 2010

Roberto Mancini has been on record for weeks as saying he does not expect Manchester City to win this season's Premier League. On that front at least, he looks a sound judge. What is taxing him considerably more is turning some £140m worth of his own signings into a cohesive enough unit to deliver even the minimum requirement – a place in the Champions League – after it emerged yesterday that one, Yaya Touré, drove away from Eastlands the previous weekend after being substituted at half-time during the defeat to Arsenal and that Touré and James Milner had a row in the tunnel.

Amazingly, a club official said leaving the ground early was common policy: "[Touré] left before the end to miss the traffic. It's normal procedure."

Presumably it is not normal procedure for the players to be at loggerheads with each other so often as, in addition to Milner and Touré, the club's highest earner on £220,000 a week, clashing previously, Emmanuel Adebayor and Vincent Kompany were arguing on the pitch during Wolverhampton Wanderers' fully deserved victory on Saturday.

There is also some confusion over why Carlos Tevez has been allowed to return to Argentina where his family live while he is trying to recover from a "dead" leg. It seems some players want to be anywhere but with their team-mates.

City now have the vultures pecking at what already appears to be the carcass of their challenge for Chelsea's crown and it's debatable how long the club's owner, Sheikh Mansour, will stand for hearing that his team have been beaten in West Bromwich and Wolverhampton and that they are attracting unsavoury headlines relating to excessive drinking and infighting.

The statistical knowledge that Mark Hughes' City had taken two more points from the first 10 games last season than the present crop have – and were still in the Carling Cup – does not help.

At the very core of a looming Eastlands crisis is the painful failure of this extravagantly assembled collection of stars and egos to evolve as a convincing title-chasing team. Their response to falling behind with more than half an hour left was thoroughly inadequate.

What City would give for some of the home-spun unity their former centre-half Mick McCarthy has instilled at Molineux; virtues that saw Wolves to their first League victory since the season's opening afternoon.

While the 19th-placed club thrillingly pulled themselves together and struck with first League goals of 2010 by Nenad Milijas and David Edwards, City, on top of all those bust-up and booze-up stories, displayed more of their increasingly seen match-day snarling and shrugging at each other with Adebayor and Kompany the chief culprits.

So hot under the collar did Mancini become that his blue-and-white scarf, which came out of mothballs for the first time this season, behaved just as his team's performance did. It unravelled and ended in a heap.

"It's impossible for us to play like that," he said, adding that City had to learn to win without Tevez. "It was the worst we have played. We played very badly in the second half and it is important to understand why."

If Mancini doesn't come up with quick answers he will be in trouble. He failed to offer any immediate explanations for the capitulation but will by now have rewatched a game in which his defenders found no more of an answer to the menace of Matt Jarvis than Manchester United's full-backs had four nights earlier. The winger was outstanding and is timing to perfection his run at a place in England's squad for the friendly against France. "Their bench was probably worth three times what our entire squad cost but I think we wanted it more than them," Edwards said, tellingly.

Congratulations to Chelsea on their second successive title and i'm looking forward to a weekend in Cardiff next season.
 
Re: Players want Mancini out - The Sun

I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of that scummy paper never have and never will, what i do find amusing though is certain people in this thread who were lording sources from very such paper over a certain Rooney a week or so ago, its amazing how these story's become less believable when they don't say what people want them to as opposed to when they are doom prophesising over a rival.

Worrying that story in the independent mind, as that's one of the very few respectable broadsheets around.

There's some truth in this, you cant just dissmiss the leaks that keep comming from Man City about the relationship between the manager and players. I honestly believe there's some truth in this story and some players want him out, it happend in Chelsea when the players turned on Scolari. City have alot of new players and need stability, for the greater good of the club, the board should stand firm with the manager and make some of these players realise there's only one man in charge and thats Mancini. If they get rid of him now, what happens if the players turn on the next guy?
 
Re: Players want Mancini out - The Sun

Once we start winning things, these articles will go away.

Sun editorial room: City lost to wolves, let's do an article on the players want Mancini out...

It's so predictable it's not funny.

Even if this were true, there is no point in changing the manager in which is getting things right. IF you are a doubter, at least make your call at the end of the season
 
Re: Players want Mancini out - The Sun

Personally I'd love to get hold of this "City Source" or as another rag reported this
weekend "Dressing room insider" and wring his kneck. We don't need this shit.
 
Re: Players want Mancini out - The Sun

tbf its being reported all over the papers not just the sun still taking it with a pinch of salt myself although I wouldn't be surprised if there was some truth in it after all it is City and we never do things by half lol
 
Re: Players want Mancini out - The Sun

I'd guess there's a bit of truth in it. Players not starting/out on the pop etc. we need to stand firm again.

The sky will fall in if we don't get a result against WBA who are flying at the moment and the Rags, anything could happen that night. The media will have a field day if it goes tits up in the next two games.
 
Re: Players want Mancini out - The Sun

It's pretty obvious the players are not keen on Mancini, too many stories coming out from different sources, not just the sun. Up to now the people who have spoke out have been dumped or dropped. As individuals they are irrelevant and quite rightly the manager should be backed if not applauded, the problem is if the bulk of the squad are at it, no manager can survive that.I love the fight in these players as shown on the pitch V arsenal if they take that fight to use against the manager they will win it.
It's times like this the fans play no part, mancini in or out or undecided won't matter the players will win, would be a shame as I wasn't convinced about him but now see little bits to be optimistic about.
It would mean more turmoil and have to work very hard to not let this season die a death as was last year when Hughes was sacked.I think it's paramount that despite the unrest bob stays to see the season out, if not the only benefits I can see are tevez will stay, bellers will be back and that fucking hill will be gone.
