Apart from being much better looking, Mancini is beginning to remind of Benitez. Solid defence, no width and heavily reliant on two players going forward. :P

That gut we were talking about earlier tells me we'll beat United in that game, you know.
But not make the top four. In reality, that would be a disaster, regardless of the cup final (which we'd probably go and lose)
Now that would be typical City...

It might not be the TOTAL disaster others have been previously led to believe.
I think we will squeak fourth, and win the cup.
And then Mancini will be sacked.
And Benitez appointed.

Now that is best case scenario for me. On all three points.

I said that last night to much wailing and gnashing of teeth. However, I think 4th and the Cup will be brilliant for us (undertatement) but I don't think it proves Mancini can win the Title in this country, and that is surely the benchmark.

I just can't see him changing his philosophies, for me that's the crux of why he won't win us the league (which surely has to be the ultimate aim). Had we won yesterday we'd be back in the race for the title - so with a two week break coming up, and really, having nothing to gain from a point yesterday, it spoke volumes that Mancini still picked the most negative team he could, and was ready to bring on Boyata when Chelsea scored...
