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.
Mancini is the boss, end of. Not Dzeko, or Carlos fucking Tevez, but Mancini.
Players are paid to play and to do what the Boss says. They are not paid to have hissy fits or for refusing to play.
He probably left Lescott out because he looked out of his depth against Napoli, he's explained the De Jong sub (I was baffled by it too but at least let the guy explain his decision)
The sooner we boot Tevez out the better, we cannot progress from here with that vile little bastard on the payroll. I don't care where he goes or for how much, just as long as never sets foot inside Carrington or COMS again.
