List of away games seemingly impossible to win under Mancini

Everton
Liverpool
Chelsea
Sunderland
Stoke
Swansea

There we go

We beat Stoke 1-0 away this year in the cup

Not to mention "for the cup" 2 years ago.

Liverpool and Everton beaten 3-0 and 2-0 respectively last season. Swansea 4-0.

Sunderland we beat 5-0 in 2011.

We've beaten Chelsea 3 times this season.

So don't talk shit mate ;)

He's talking away games every game you've mentioned are home games.

again wasteful in front of goal...story of our season

however thought our 2nd half performance wasn`t bad at all, thought dzeko played well actually despite his miss, should of had a penalty and forced at top save from vorm at the end

silva,nasri,milner,zaba and nastasic i thought were all excellent especially silva who showed plently of quality apart from again his finishing, nasri also showed a good work ethic as well as being very tidy on the ball and nearly an excellent volley in the 1st half

and good to see rodwell get a good run out

all in all its definitely not the end of the world roll on tuesday night against the baggies!!!

Thank god I didn't pay to watch that!

Dzeko's confidence at an all time low :(

What Dzecko has become under Mancini is an utter condemnation of his man management ability.
Mancini could even possibly bring RVP down to a similar level of a nervous stumbling wreck in the box. He needs to take a long hard look at how he has handled this as I think he comes out of it very badly & it will turn off future signings.

When does a player become responsible for his own performances?

Every single player has under performed to a greater or lesser extent than in 2011/12. Yes they have responsibility but its the Manager who ultimately defines the team & its his job to extract the most from the players. On that judgment Bobby has failed .

mancini changed the tactics for the 2nd half,its up to the boys to put the effort in

Why can't he get right at the start?

You got a crystal ball Mystic Meg, to tell him what the other side is gonna do? You'd probably try and bollock him anyway for "not starting the best 11".

Pass the "happy" pills round, mate.

Dire performance, no real urgency and poor finishing. Thought Swansea dealt with us comfortably and arguably deserved the three points for their shape an discipline. At least it's a point that should confirm a top 3 finish. We need to buck up for next week because Wigan will fancy their chances against us.

Swansea did not deserve three points: they had one shot on target. Dzeko, Nasri and Silva should all have scored.

But none of them did score though, and that's the point. Putting in a lacklustre team performance is one thing, but wasting clear scoring chances is just carelessness and a bad habit to get into because champions take those opportunities.

Now looks like Gareth Bale FC have gone and won it at the death v Sotton too, with a goal from ... oh... Gareth Bale.

Most have, although that can happen after a title success.

But you're blaming everything on the manager. For me that's a cop out.
