Nah, I believe in him. Like I said when we appointed him, I believe he is the man for us in long term. We'll just have to see how much patience supporters and most importanly owners have.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Come on. I want to know.

Don't be snidy. Just say it out loud.


if it is, I fully expect you, edge and soccs to be leading the charge ! It would only be fair.

Its Pearce'esque at the moment you must admit, stoke were awful today and we failed to capitolise

Under Hughes, I dropped everything to watch City play.

If we play this kind of football for the next few games, I can see my priorities shifting for some matches. After all, the 6 Nations is on.

I'm sick of the instability, but I want him to realise that we can kill games off even when we concede, because from where I'm sitting it looks like everytime we concede, we turn more DEFENSIVE.

This performance AND result is unacceptable.


Result wasn't unacceptable, we are still in cup, but the performance was.


A home draw against Stoke was acceptable?

So you ACCEPT you'd have taken it before kick off?

The owners I think will be fine unless it carries on like basically all of the last 5 or 6 matches ( Everton,Scum,Hull,Pompey,Notlob and now Stoke). Cos if we do the fans will not have patience and make a lot of noise and that will really test the owners bigtime. It's been said before but the next 4 games.............

its certainly embarrassing to think that playing like stoke or hull would be a leap forward

Disappointed of course, but remember we were today without Kompany, Richards, Tevez and Belliers at the same time! What could a manager do if two famous players like Given and Lescott gave draw to potters for their own incredible mistake?

I have to admire your gall Anti, most of us so called Hughes supporters (who in fact could be more accurately labelled as City Stability Supporters) didnt get that kind of leash...in fact it was a fucking onslaught of rants that grew to a crescendo and eventually you got your way...I hope you are pleased...I by the way still belong the CSS because just for once in twenty fucking years of watching this gash, I would like to see the players, the manager and the style develop over a four or five years.

What leash? If you look into official match thread you will see two of the biggest hughes lovers having a proper go at me. That's not much of leash. So no need for holier than thee attitude.

It's nie to notice though that all people seem to think about is hughes hughes and hughes.

Not really. This same thing went on here under Royle (least of all), under Keegan (this place was at it's worst) and Pearce. Nothing new really.

What's new are these twisted personal fanatics only posting here about other posters. mcfc32882348 being THE prime example.

Still too early to say whether Mancini is the right man or not, but since losing at OT we have been poor. Its also a little ironic that after all those discussions on whether we should have 1 or 2 holding midfielders we seem to have settled on 3.

We are in a good position in the league and we are still in the FA cup so things are not as bad as the performances. My only concern at the moment is that we seem to be getting worse rather than better. How much does New manager syndrome play a role?

That is definite worry. That said, we only basically have one central attacking midfielder in Ireland.

were it that it was that simple gilford lad... the fact is that stoke were bloody awful today and we still played poorly and in the end conceded to a draw - something is currently rotten in denmark and needs to be debated at length on cityfans.net !

But we have plenty of attacking wingers. Tonight we started with 2 and instead of chasing the game all the substitutions were progressively more defensive. When we did have two tall players up front it would have made sense to have Petrov and SWP on the wings, maybe Petrov was injured but it seemed a bit strange to bring on a big front man but at the same time take off one of teh wingers who would provide the cross. NDJ was being missed out by their long balls so I would have taken him off instead and gone to a more attacking 442

I don't fully agree there Anti. I know on paper and in theory we only have 1 out and out attacking midfield player in Ireland ( I don't think it would be fair to add Ibrahim) BUT for me it's the way the team is set out, whoever they are in midfield, that is the worry to me. There is nothing to stop any midfield player getting forward , trying to link with the strikers or running beyond the strikers unless the manager doesnt want them to. I actually think Barry is decent when he gets forward.

But Hughes used to do the same! play two DMs..I remeberr agaisnt Newcastle when they had a player sent off in the first 10 mins, Hughes still kept two DM's on the field and it ended up being a draw...

There have been alot of changes at City and the players have to adapt to change, coupled with Mancini having to test the water.. It seems the main lot that are already getting on Mancinis back are the ones that loved Hughes!! Maybe its an attempt to still try and save face!! Listening to some, its like they want us to do shit just so they can moan about Mancini and try and convince people Hughes was the man for the job..


Remember..It takes time ;-)
