Get behind what 'team'?! There was no 'team' out there. Some of us paid a large amount of money to watch that shower poncing about earning £100k .....................
I understand your anger but we still have to get behind them. What's the alternative? boo them from now until the end of season?

Alternative is to get shot of Mancini now! Get Viera in as temporary manager and PLAN for next season NOW!

How on earth do you plan for next season NOW! with a temporary manager?
You can't plan for next season until the "new" manager was installed and knew what his plans were. So there would be no "NOW!".

That's exactly the shit Chelsea are in at the moment with Benitez.

Oh, and it's "Vieira".

I think there are a number of points in the season you can point to. But for me, almost every single player in the team is worse than last season.

Exceptions are Zaba, Clichy and Milner.

Which is why we have been so much worse this year.


This is spot on - Kompany started off a little off (think the change to nastacic didn't help him) but picked his form back up.

Yaya looks like someone who feels he can't be dropped - any team that play with tempo just walk passed him when he's in the defensive roll.

Aguero has had lots of little niggly injuries and the service / support to him has been rubish.

People going on about the transfers are also spot on - two of the players brought in have been injured most of the season, Sinclai must not of been a mancini signing or surely he would have played a little more. I think Garcia was a panic signing because we wasted all summer on de rossi. Mastacic looks a good bit of business. We should have brought at least 1 player in who was capable of walking straight into the first team - if for no other reason than to keep people on their toes

You see, that's when you find out if you have bought the right kinda stuff.

Some players are happy to settle for their lot, and others, they want to keep winning and forget about the past.

Too many of our players, even our fans (understandably), dined out on being champions for too long.

It should have been put to bed in pre-season training, whilst United were already plotting and working towards a response.


Nasri, Yaya and Barry are the 3 main ones who i reckon think theres jobs are done.

Could also add Dzeko and arguably Silva to that list.
 
Sorry but I hope Secret Agent Gooner Marwood is fucking satisfied. I can't bear it.
 
You win the league you go out and make sure everyone will fear you more because you buy some really good players. (You do probably the same when you dont wint it to win it again.)

We were watching as United, Chelsea making their squad lot stronger. While someone at the club was thinking, ohh we dont have to do that, we won the league, we are the best, we dont have weaknesses in certain areas. It wasnt Mancini as he cartainly knew what players he really needs instead of those already in the playing squad and he was vocal about it.

He wanted a partner for Kompany with better skills than Lescott, especially on the ball.
He wanted a midfielder instead Barry with some pace, tackling skill or skills to help attacks. (De Rossi)
Etc...

He hates fast player. Yeah thats why he wanted Hazard surely...

If we just look around how much a good signing can help, RVP-United, Michu-Swansea, Mata-Chelsea, Cazorla-Arsenal, or Agüero last season for us...

There bad transfers all the time, no club can sign 10 payers and having the best of those 10 all the time, Fergie had lot of joke transfers just like Wenger and Mourinho and everyone. Even Guardiola looked stupid with the the bizarre Eto-Ibra deal. Or he spent the same summer 20m pounds for an Ukrainien defender Chigrihinskij if you remember. Then next summer they sold him back for 10m and they were lucky to get that amount back.

I wont blame everything on transfers but others made their squad stronger, got new positive impulse from it, we didnt , our form went worse thats where we are now.

Not so sure about Yaya, but would add Lescott to that list.

Mario, obviously.

If Yaya does think that way, then we should sell him this summer with two years left on his deal. Could use him as leverage for Ronaldo or a Barca boy such as Fabregas.
 
Changes to a winning structure.

DOF was bought it, change of CEO. Foreign powers over rule Mancini, when he should have been rewarded with more power after winning the league, Manger with an English style Chief Executive.

The head Doctor who was in charge of lowest injury rate in the Premier League was sacked.

Mancini is alot at fault here trying the ridiculous 3-5-2 formation.
