If Mancini is 4th in 6 weeks time then it'll be an improvement on where we were when Hughes was sacked as we were in 6th and slipping down the table slowly but surely, if we maintain 4th from now till Christmas then it'll mean were doing quite well and picking up points because if we didn't then we'd find ourselves further down the table. Take your point with regards to Carling Cup but Mancini could easily have us into the next round of the Europe Leauge and be 4th come Christmas.
With 150 mil being spend in the summer where do you think we should be now?

'Kin ell Soulboy, do you want me to come and do a little show in my City shirt to show you i'm a blue? Believe me, unlike certain posters on here who trawl united forums, i'm not in the habit of posting 6.5k posts on a forum of a club i'm not a fan of. Ask 'pam' if she's a blue. She spends alot of time on the red cafe forum. I spend 100% of my free, City time on here because whether you like it or not, i'm a blue. What i'm not though is a sheep. I don't agree with nob heads just to fit in. If a blue is being a ****, i'll call him a ****. If the team and manager are doing shit, i'll call them shit. I could be a sheep and wear my blue tinted specs, but I live in the real world and so I say it as I see it. Can we stop with all the insinuations i'm a fucking united fan now, please?<br /><br />-- Fri Nov 05, 2010 12:15 am --<br /><br />Soulboy said:m27 said:Stop it.
Ah, you spotted that as well!!!
It's always the little things...
You're one of a few I can have a decent debate on here with. Its the performances mate, the performances are pretty shit to be honest. We look anything but a team. Ade scored tonight and 3 players joined him in his celebration. I read that as a lack of team spirit and who can we blame for that? There is something which is not right and the performances are reflecting that.Failsworth_Blue said:Pigeonho said:Well we shouldn't be getting beat 3-0 at home, losing pathetically away to Wolves and being made to look silly in a second half v a Polish team.

So you don't expect any blips because we spent £150m? I'm sorry but your expectations are ridiculous if you think thats the case. United failed to win in 4 successive away games this season, Barca have won 1 of their last 9 away games in the champs leauge and lost to a promoted club at home. Blips happen, it's not ideal but even the best teams with the best players have them

Cant remember the last time the whole team celebrated a goal.
Am I?! No, i'm not. I'm saying the previous manager went when he had done more than what this manager has done so far, ye this manager has spent £150m more. You've just told me never to listen to anything you have to say again, so nice one for that.Witney Blue said:Pigeonho said:Digress. Exactly why am I a cock?
Because you're suggesting Mancini should go after less than a year
Knee jerking cock

When everyone is fit, I have no problem with the way Mancini sets the team up, it isn't to everyone's liking but I've stuck up for him because he has got results and I have recognised what he is trying to achieve.
However, he needs to be more flexible and when he has different players at his disposal he has play to their stengths, not his.
Tonight is a perfect example. Why not play 4 4 1 1 or 4 4 2 with Milner and Vieira in the middle and Johnson and SWP on the 'correct' flanks? We had Boateng in midfield for a period on Saturday and tonight we had Zab; why have we got square pegs in round holes with all the money that's been spent?
I've been a staunch supporter of Mancini and gave him the benefit of the doubt on Saturday (despite him fucking up from start to finish) but that's the second time in a week he's been culpable.
It's a worry. A real fucking worry.
