Has it crossed your mind that we are in form?
Seriously, do you think that this way of playing is unintentional?

Please dont depress me. That thought is unbearable.
There is no way that Mancini thinks things are going to plan on the pitch. You can see how frustrated he is on the sidelines. Its still not clicked and we clearly not in form! Or at least I hope not. In terms of performance it surely cant get too much worse?

That's an interesting comment! Do you really suspect that the current tactics are Kidd's?

and? we picked up 12 points and progressed in two cups. What about the Burnley, Fulham, Hull, Bolton, Wigan league games and Scunthorpe and Arsenal kids in the cup, in your opinion we should have blown them off the park so why did we only pick up a measley 5 points?john68 wrote:We have got to 4th on the back of the easiest phase of games of the season....and for the vbest part of that easiest phase...we have played shit.
We have got to 4th by picking up results, something the previous manager failed to do.john68 wrote:Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Brum, Everton, the rags, Arsenal, Villa...Do you honestly think we can maximise our points potential against these teams by playing frightened football?

If we had grinded out results under Mark Hughes in that infamous 7 games of successive draws (7 points out of a possible 28 which is relegation form) then we would be cruising to 4th and making the top 3 nervous.
You are so quick to dismiss the win at Wolves and the point at Stoke as games we don't need to grind results from but i will guarentee you that Spurs (loss at wolves) and Liverpool (draw at wolves and stoke) would have loved to have grinded out results there.

Fait play to the voice of the true City fan here actually. Still not optimistic we'll pick up any points against our main rivals the way we are playing atm. But what do I know? I'm not a true supporter...
