<br /><br />-- Mon Apr 22, 2013 10:19 am --<br /><br />Just don't think they should be given such a restrictive area to operate in, Nasri okay floating a bit, but Milner who I rate highly could secure up the midfield with his work rate..Danielmanc said:allyboy said:I have supported Bobby from day 1 and still do. But if he keeps screwing this up, Wigan will pip us at Wembley and he will lose his job.
1. Nasri and Milner are not wingers. If you want the the best out of these 2, they have play more centrally. Nasri is a great player who has never really been given the 'Silva role" as he's put too far wide. He's extremely one footed- so if defenders want to show him on his left, hes screwed.
Milner is with Tevez, our most industrious player. again wasted out wide. To me, he's a genuine box to box true midfielder who would plug that gap when Yaya goes forward and would give cover to Barry.
2. Yaya was out on his feet today. He is useless in a holding role when not in peek condition. Players glide past him. He needs to play much further forward.
But Bobby won't take him off. Even Garcia would have done better today and that's saying something!, Make the change for gods sake, he's not untouchable, new contract or not!!
3. Why does he never move Komps into Midfield when its so obvious the middle of the park is being lost. Get Lescott on, take yaya off if not performing and get Komps forward. Bobby has to gamble a bit more when that happens.
4. Dzeko and Kolarov are not technically gifted enough for our style of football. end of.
5. Why put Kun on the bench if you're not going to use him?, especially watching Dzeko play like a 2 year old. Bizarre.
Sort it Bobby, and sort it quick otherwise this season and you're job will end in the bin.
And you really needed to start a new thread ? The fact that you know better than Mancini deserves a thread all of its own rather than being in the existing Mancini thread(s) ?
citymad said:Providing they come in occasionally I actually don't mind Milner and Nasri on the wings. Thought they had some great moments today especially Milner.
Jaffamandango said:It pains me to say it but the guy is clueless, today we effectively had no manager.
How many times has he been made to look like a Muppet. Bayern last season, I still think Mancini rubbed everyone up that day, not excusing tevezs actions.
Kompany's injury in which it took him the best part of 10 minutes to make a substitution. Meanwhile back room staff are flapping with no avail on the sidelines
Today the match just passing him by, totally unable to make a decision on how to combat spuds new threat.
Obviously having kolliwobbles and dzeko on the same pitch was always going to be like playing with 9 men, I said when Kolorov came on, we've lost this.
None of this mentions how many times he's changed formations in a match to lose a goal and revert back to original formation, when the chips are down Mancini can't change anything to react and often doesn't see things. I felt we were lucky against Chelsea last weekend.
These are not knee jerk reactions like the Mancini inners would say but we have been on a steady decking since Dec 2011 with no answers from the man at the helm. He has brought success to the club which I thank him for(more the owners) but we cannot stagnate in this he's a hero and he can do no wrong mentality. We are not the same club as 10 years ago, we need to progress.
To do this we need a manager who can read the game, can motivate a team and can make worthwhile tactical amendments attuned to our players skillset. We need a manager who can adapt and quickly, in stark contrast we have a rigid manager bringing his stubborn totalitarian attitude and an inability to learn from mistakes.
Today my blood pressure went through the roof watching such ineffective management I nearly had a coronary.
allyboy said:Agreed, I was more annoyed with him as I've ever been. Think Rigid is the correct word, you could see the game falling apart just like Chelsea where we managed to hang on. Bit Hughes-like today which worries me big time.

These quotes were in the Mirror earlier this season, they could be made up but who knows...
A source close to Mancini said: “People thought that Roberto was playing mind games when he said United would win the title.
“He is amused by this because he wasn’t being clever. He genuinely thought it was impossible for there to be any other outcome than United being champions.
“Roberto was impressed with the role that Brian Kidd played in making sure the players and the coaching staff didn’t give up.
“He told Roberto that United would drop points. He told the players and the other coaches that they would have even bigger regrets if United dropped points and City were not there to take advantage.
“At a dinner in Italy, Roberto admitted that Kidd played a big part in the title win. His respect for him has grown even more because of it.”
