Look I like Mancini but let's be honest here, tonight he has had an absolute shocker both with selection and tactics. It's been overlooked a lot but what the hell is leaving out Lescott in the clubs biggest game for decades gonna do to his confidence? I can't condone if Tevez did refuse to come on but seeing De Jong come on for a fellow striker when ur 2 down, he was always gonna blow. The 2nd half tactics I will never ever condone. We didn't even have a go at them in that 2nd half and just accepted defeat. I'd rather lose 5-0 knowing that I'd given everything rather than 2-0 after shutting up shop.
