You are fuckign clueless and I cannot wait for you to be replaced by a manager that doesnt bum his players like you do Balo and Aguero.
You take off Tevez when the whole world and his dog can see Aguero being a greedy useless cunt, you take off Garcia and put Alien up front.

I hope we get Pep and you get fucked off as Im tired of the same shit.

The scum won and you fucked us over with your shit decisions.....wanker.

...and a merry Christmas.

Same result as last year, no improvements whatsoever..

Taken us as far as he can IMO. Im not moaning or knee jerking etc.. I like him as a bloke and hes been great in the last 3 years but he just doesnt seem to have another gear and I think his style etc has been found out. I dont think hes evolving us any further.

You don't change a winning team, time and time again manchini has been at fault for this which in my opinion costs us points, Garcia is wank and dropping Barry for him who scored a last minute winner in the previous game is just shocking management, We fucked up big time today, 7 points behind before the new year is just embarrassing.

We've actually gone backwards in every sense this year, the idea is when you win a title is to kick on but somehow Mancini has made us worse and doesn't appear to have a clue how to change it.

Theres 18 teams below us who are more than 7 points adrift but yeah I thought we'd be better this year. I wouldnt say the managment is shocking.. just think hes taken us as far as he can.

I'm beginning to agree with you.

I didn't expect that we would neccessarily win the title but I can't see one single area of the team that isn't worse than lasdt season, from the strikers, to the midfield, to the back 4, to the goalkeeper, to the reserve team. I can't see anything that we are trying to do which would solve it. It just looks to me like he has no idea how to take it on, & was just hoping for new players to do it.

I recon half the squad will have to go, in order to make way for those new players, because the players he hoped would do the job, aren't upto it & are not the players we needed. Now we have too many players who don't add anything & not enough who make a difference.

Hart
Zabba
Nasty
Vinnie
Lescott
Kolo
Clichy
Micah
Kolorov
Silva
Yaya
Razak
Barry
Milner
Sergio
Tevez
Edin

Build from there, these are the guys i would keep, get rid of the rest their just not good enough.

Its not really as though he can complain about players either, we lost De Jong and Johnson.. not Aguero and Yaya. This team should be better than last season to compensate for the rags signing Van Pearse or are we suggesting Van Pearse is the 7 point difference at this moment? They've had a god awful defence so it kind of rules that out. Its so frustrating that we have all these great attackers and cant score and win convincingly. Tevez is working hard too but look at his first season when he was scoring for fun. Were totally in decline.

This has been like this for twelve months with a small interlude when we were desperate. We ended up with tevez off and fucking lescott as a centre forward today, what the fuck is that about? No width no pace again , just the same old same old. Open yer eyes, Bob has to go.

bobs on the slippery slope.....slipping.....slipping towards the edge

We have a lot of top quality attacking players.

It looks like they can't play together on a consistant basis & most of the time are no better now than when they first met.

If everyone is honest, that shouldn't be the case. Whether we win the title or not, that has to be turned around or else it suggests Bob is the wrong man for the job.

Agreed, but I suspect no money will be given to Mancini. Why should it be? He's pissed GDPs worth of cash on carthorses like Garcia and no marks like Rodwell and Sinclair, man of mystery! The way things are shaping up, 4th is not looking nailed on and the owners won't accept that, given how their business model will be structured. Whimpering out of the CL was a bit embarrassing, but sliding down this average PL would be another matter. Khaldoun will drop the axe. Pep is available and so is Mourinho, by the sounds of reports. Would you be shocked if changes were made immediately? I wouldn't.

I can't see Madrid sacking Mourinho before the Rag match - surely that's his last chance with them.

I dont think Rodwell and Garcia were his priority signings though, that was knobhead mac pissing about. I reckon if we do sign players it will be players that will make us better and that any manager would want in their team sort of thing. Firstly I hope Mancini can change it by the end of Jan. Failing that I'd love Pep to come in but theres no real proof he can do it in the Prem. Then theres Mourinho who yeah he'd win us stuff but how long until he's bored. I dont know what the answer is but if I was a betting man I'd say the powers that be already have Pep in sight anyway.

I wouldn't be shocked no, as that's how they operated when Hughes was fired, but I would be surprised. Bob has earned the opportunity to at least try to turn it around.

The more I see of City though, the more it feels as if something is wrong. This season hasn't felt right since the start, with all the imminent backroom changes etc. Whether that is having an effect on Bob & the team I don't know but I expected something much more promising from both, win or lose.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this squad that an intelligent human being could not organise and motivate into a fearless attacking team.But so many players have been fucked about by this mad man, and the tactics have become so predictable that it is not surprising we are struggling for any decisive winning system or mentality. The last thing he should be allowed to do is buy more fecking players, we've got the most expensive squad in the league.Its no good screaming. This is how Mancini does the job and always has done.As I've said for some time, I hate it. But I bet Kolo is a happy player,lol

I don't understand this Pep thing, he would be a disaster big time. He will not adopt to the fierce and hating enviroment on away days. He's used to playing away games at home.
