Roberto Mancini

[Gaylord du Bois]

Crazy night for Inter and Mancini last night. Finished 3 - 3 against Celtic at Celtic Park. Inter were 2 - 0 up and cruising after 15 minutes. Sounds like it was a real competition of who can defend the worst out of the two sides though because neither particularly covered themselves in any glory.

Still Inter will be favourites for the return leg. I'd completely forgotten that they were in the Europa league, it's a route for Bobby and the club back into the CL because I think in the Serie A they're too far behind the CL places. There's obviously better teams than Inter left in the competition but if Mancini can get over his European blind spot then it's a competition which he should be aiming to go far in. Especially now they've practically got one foot in the quarter finals.

*brings a tear to the eye*

10 points atm.

He can claw back 8 in his sleep so it will be close.

Already fell out with Vidic more than once, Osvaldo tried to punch him, Icardi's pissed off, he's even managed to piss Zanetti off.

I wouldn't read too much into Osvaldo attempting to assault someone, it's become a habit.

His downfall as a manager is his man management. Wouldn't be too surprised if he loses the dressing room within 2-3 years again.

Good manager for the short term.

He got crucified for experimenting with playing 3 at the back. Now many sides are doing it.

I wouldn't generalize it to just "man management", it's just his style. Every manager deals with players differently just like every player will react to it differently.

Lol, I hope you're not suggesting it was Bobby The Revolutionist who brought 3 at back back to football.

He was crucified as we were shit while playing 3 at back, just as Van Turtlehead is crucified now because Rags are shit when they play 3 at back. Or 4. Or 5.

B-b-b-but; what about "the new Duncan Edwards"?

Inter won 2-1 away to Cagliari tonight.

Not the most convincing performance, but another three points in the bag and Internazionale are now up to joint sixth, on 35 points with Genoa and Sampdoria.

The way managers deal with players is generally known as 'man management'. All managers deal with players differently hence all managers have different styles of 'man management'.

Anyway, good win for Inter this weekend. They need to keep shortening that gap between them and the teams in the CL places. Everyone will forgive and forget any mid season fall outs if they manage to somehow knick that spot (I still think it's a bit too much for them to do with the quality of the teams above them).

Caught the last 25 mins of the game last night and it left me feeling a little sorry for Bob as he is having to work with some dross.

The standard of Italian football is very poor right now.

Tbh fella, I can't even remember the last time I caught any Italian game. It's always been pretty poor from a viewing perspective IMO, but right now it must be really painful to watch.

You can count the top class players in the league on one hand, and most of them play for the same side!

If reports are true he is falling out with a few of them I wouldn't blame him. Most couldn't string two passes together!

I used to love watching the Italian football when C4 had it many moons ago but it was full of world class players back then.

Bob should get out of there first chance he gets because he is a better manager than what that league deserves right now.

But not every player was pissed off with his style of management, in fact many players responded well to it both in regards to their relationship with him and their improvement as a player.

Hence I would not generalize his 'downfall' to simply his 'man management'.

Yeah the days of Inzaghi, Trezeguet, Maldini, Cannavaro etc were the good days but clearly the financial problems in most Italian clubs have seen the top players dwindle away over the years.

Parma, Sampdoria, Fiorentina, Inter, AC, Juventus, Lazio and Roma all had good sides 10 years or so ago. It's a shame really to see the decline but I guess its a sign of the times financially and my guess is they don't get the same TV revenue that we get over here.

But yeah I agree about Mancini, but I guess Inter gets him a little bit more air-time than Galatasary. Hopefully he finds himself at another decent club in the next couple of years, maybe somewhere in France or Spain.

Openly tapping up Yaya again today and claiming he wants to leave us and play in Italy.

He should keep his gob shut and concentrate on trying to win a few games!

If he could do that he might still be here ;)
