Only this.

I thought we were in Control for 60 min or so. Then we collapsed totaly. Was Milner injured?
CTID!!

tight hamstring.

Of course he was injured. Mancini never makes changes in anticipation, it is in reaction.

[zabbadabbado]

Spurs were the better team from basically the start. Tevez created the only goal from basically nothing and against the run of play. Not good enough today.

Against the run of play? we score a goal after 4 minutes against the run of play....yeah cos we were under the cosh for 4 minutes weren't we?

Hilarious isnt he.
We batterered them all the first half then just didnt turn up the second half,Mancini did ZERO to change the obvious failings on the pitch...its deja vu.

Why don't you apply for the job ?your like a broken record every time we lose.Fuck me the man has won us the FA Cup,Premier League,Charity Shield took us to another Final.Yet you sit at your keyboard waiting for a bad result to start spewing your bile.We lost a game it happens,nobody has lost the plot except you.HE IS GOING NOWHERE FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS GET OVER IT. HE IS THE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MANAGER IN ENGLAND RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!

Good point, but I am pretty certain we could have won a lot more with a more competent manager. I guess if you are happy with some of the results we could get, then yes Mancini is the man. But if you want us to reach new heights and play to potential, I'd rather have a new manager.

[Clowncrete]

time for over reacting yawn fucking yawn.

We lost a game that is all.Injuries cost us today nothing else.He pushed Lescott up front because he did not want to risk Aguero.

We need to spend big this summer and give Roberto and open cheque book,We lack depth and it has cost us this season,if we had got De Rossi and Hazzard like Roberto wanted things would be much different.

Next season we will be unstoppable under Roberto Mancini.

Injuries cost us?!? Are you blind?

[zuricity]

Only this.

you should look more towards Vinnie's poor performance. disappointing distribution and very poor for their first and second. He also could have held up and had Bale offside for the third

[stevefromdonny]

had the game won 1st half and then just let spurs run at us in 2nd half, some of our passing was fucking crap, instead of fucking flicking ball to a player, MAKE FUCKING SURE THE PLAYER GETS THE BALL, how many times did 1 of our players eg yaya gets ball and instead of a quick pass to one of our players he just keeps it and run into a spurs player and losses the ball

[Feed The Goat]

Injuries cost us?!? Are you blind?

He will always go on about injuries and the fact that the club only bought SOME of the players on Mancini list this summer.

It is good to be behind the manager but not blindly. Every body must see that sometimes bobby doesn't cut it and possibly another manager might get more out of the players. Yes we won the league and fa cup and are in a final in a few weeks but this season could've been a lot better to watch.

no i am not.

Miner of injured,we lost our energy second half and had to play Kolorov.That was a game changing event on its own.

We had to start with Dzeko instead of Aguero,that was significant.

No Silva that was significant.

All 3 contributed heavily today's defeat.We don't have quality cover we lack depth.What is roberto supposed to do ?.

It is my opinion that some just choose to ignore the obvious because they have a personal agenda against Roberto Mancini.

[clawbaggio]

It was a very poor game all round. We were comfortable 1st half without having to play well, but 2nd half was as bad as we have played all season (and Im including the Southampton debacle in that).
We couldn't string 2 passes together. Us giving it away was the cause of all our problems. Kompany looked like he was wearing lead boots. Ya Ya has had some shit games this season but this was one of the worst. Clichy went missing again and Dzeko and Kolarov can just fuck right off.

Are you Mancini wife or something I don't think anyone has an agenda against your hubby some just think that maybe he should get more out of the players than he does sometimes

[Sideshow Bob]

I would rather us play with 10 men for 90 minutes than see dzonkey starting ever again. I am completely serious about that.

We went down to 9 when Kolarov came on!

[roblues]

The scariest part is that Mancini has just said (if BBC quotes are accurate) that we deserved to win. I'm not convinced that we should be looking to get rid of him but he better be taking the piss here.

[Risby]

Mancini should have changed things before they scored their first. Spurs were coming at us and it didn't look like stopping.
He tried to ride his luck and it went against him. Then he left it again and they scored their second. You know the rest.
You can blame defenders or whatever, but he needed to add something to our play or put some energy into the team via subs before we got in to the state we finished in.
The boss is in charge of making the decisions and he didn't make any, so allowed the spuds to take control and have freedom against a lethargic and un-inspired team.

How will you explain him sending Lescott at the end?

I have gone through all your posts and it seems to me that you are missing the obvious. How on earth does AVB with a far worse squad and also plagued by injuries has managed to keep his squad in top 4 contention? How on earth is United with a far far worse squad f*cking winning the title? Why did Mancini resort to 3 at the back in many games when it became obvious that it is hurting us?

I had faith in Mancini but this and the Everton games have destroyed it. And what personal agenda would I or any of the fans have against Mancini? This season isn't a disappointment because we are losing but because we know that we are performing below our capacity.

this is spot on. boas made changes and the game changed. we should have strengthened the midfield and didnt. therefore we got battered in midfield game over
