-Signing Vieira. Any more over the hill crap and I'll sniper them off the field.
-Over cautious Football. Adebayor needed to start against Arsenal. Perhaps bring him off after we score like Sven would do with players.
-The fact that his record in Italy is brilliant yet Sven had won Titles in 3 Countries. Counted for nothing when he had one idea for City.
-Taking us out of both Cups. Nothing new there!
-Beating just one prominent side in a League Match. Is it only one of the top 7 or 8 that he's beaten in the Prem?
I just haven't warmed to the Guy. I was the same with Keegan from day one. Just found him false or insincere.
If you don't like the guy there is nothing that can be said or done and its fair enough. I thought similar of Hughes. Frankly I thought Hughes was an incompetent arsehole - others thought he was a good manager. You pay your money and take your choice I guess.
-Style over substance is an opinion.
-Vieira is crap.
-The Football is overtly Defensive. Fact.
-Appointing a Coach with no useful experience of English Football is a risk. I'm not counting his stint with Leicester.
-Took us out of both Cups. Fact.
-Beaten just one prominent side in the Premiership. Fact.

He seemed to get to grips with the players relatively quickly so really its just the lack of Premeriership experience for which the only solution is time. Given the situation time was and is not on Mancini's side but thats the hand he chose to play and has done so with (imo) considerable skill and thankfully without a shedload of excuses.
Whether he can close out the deal remains to be seen. Irrespective of whether he does or doesn't close out the deal I would like to see him in charge for a full season with the proviso that we are aiming for a credible challenge for the PL title with a CL spot as a given.
So no reservations other than he didn't manage here before?
Nothing you've seen has caused you any reservations? It certainly is a game of interpretation, that is becoming more evident in every passing week.
You asked for reservations and I gave you my main reservation so whats the problem? Not 'reservation' enough? I've explained enough times what I think of Mancini and the job that he is doing.
You don't like him I get. You think he isn't as good as Hughes I get.
You started a thread asking/looking for the downside of a manager whose has been in situ for 4 months after coming in half way through a season. How about a thread asking what are the positives about Mancini? For starters the fact he is so hands on coaching wise. The fact that he knows how to organise a team.
Change your name to NQD and the manager to Hughes and its last season all over again minus the shite results.

It amazes me how people can start threads to list reasons to have a cry about the manager that has us aimed at our best finish in decades. Give him a transfer window (rather than an unprepared jan window) and a full season and then we can judge him.
I'll admit we did see some pretty dire football when he first came, but we couldnt defend for shit then, I feel as the squad are adapting to this new way of playing the games are improving gradually.

Hi Garry,I just wanted to shake your hand and ask you a question.I go to COMS as mucha as possible but sometimes I cannot leave the house as Sophie.....sorry..Sophie is my Cat...... needs a carer when Im away and sometimes I cannot find one.
My question is ; Is it possible to bring Sophie to matches at COMS in her kitten box and can she come in for free?

And do people really think we would have won both cups with Leslie?

Are you a Fan of our new Manager? If so, then why don't you give me some positive points? That's the concept of a debate.

I find you quite a quick witted and amusing poster mate. You use your wit to good measure when putting down others' arguments or points and it is a very effective strategy.
However you do seem to exagerate what others have said in order to ridicule their points.
I don't think anyone has suggested anything about the team bombing forward. I think they merely suggested that there is a better balance between attack and defence. In fact the point was made that with the talent we have up front, to create that balance and attack a little more would actually be playing to the strengths of our more talented players.
Doug is not an idiot mate. Try meeting him and having a deep conversation with him and you will find him to be an extremely erudite and knowledgeable person, who thinks deeply about the game and talks sense. Doug is quite correct when he states that Mancini very often has to change things round because they are not working. It is valid therefore to ask why does it not work so often?
Thanks for the entertainment though, I do enjoy it.
