Watched the match with a stoke fan and a room of neutrals. The neutrals once again rated us as one of the most appalling teams to watch in the prem at the moment and i have to depressingly agree.
There were some good individual performances last night but the "football" we are serving up, this CRAPENACCIO is truly wrist-slittingly bad.
On current evidence, if Mancini is the answer...i'm not sure what the question was
I was in agreement with your view during the 1st half of the season - very disappointed during the run of draws but wanting stability - at least until the end of the season.
So I want stability now - I mentioned at the time not to sack the manager until the replacement was secured - the PROPER replacement - not some interim. If Mancini is an interim I would have rather given Hughes until the end of the season - at least the football was much much better to watch.
When Mancini was appointed - I hoped that it was because he was identified to be the PROPER choice -then you hear about "..only until summer.." - but who knows - that may just be the press
But he is the Manchester city manager - therefore he has my support.
I just think a number of fans on here though are a bit pissed off with what are seen as shallow double standards - some were the leaders of the campaign against the previously incumbent Manchester City manager - and Mancini was seen as one of the options that would prove to be a messiah - but now they still cannot stop spouting on and on - must be either to seek to justify their previous vitriol or perhaps just because they like the sound of their own posts - why can they just not let it go?? move on??
Most of us are the type that just get behind all aspects of the club
