If you were offered to win most games 2-1, lose less than 5 games and finish top 3, but you had to watch your team play shit week in week out would you take it?
Honest question, honest answers please.

Of course we'd all take 2-1 wins all the time. But playing poorly is hardly the best way to guarantee it now is it?
We nearly cocked up against Newcastle as we did at Sunderland and at home to Blackburn. We won't keep getting away with it and if you can't see the warning signs you're a fool, which I'm sure you aren't.
These sides should be put away in the same that the top teams do season in season out if we really want to be successful. And we have the players to do it.

I hope that once super Mario is fit we will see a return of AJ, but that then means dropping 2 players to fit them both in...

Piccsnumberoneblue wrote:Adebayor may not be at his best, I think that's fair comment. However he does make a difference to the threat we pose. We look like we might score when he is partnering Tevez. did we look any worse defensively for taking one of the three defensively minded midfielders off? Not in the slightest. It was better all round.

I think Mancini is cautious at the minute and who can blame him? He can be cautious for the first 2-3 months and get enough points on the board so that when he feels more comfortable with the players he has got (meaning they have settled and gelled as a team) we can then kick on and show our potential or he can do it from the start, get mixed results and face losing his job.
Anyone who has watched Mancini's teams in the past especially Inter will know that his teams are attacking and exciting but as with any great manager and any italian, you build from the back and that is what he is doing.
the Potential vs Performance title heading was i presume aimed at the players but it can also be aimed at Mancini. He is giving us satisfying performances at the moment with the results but it is nowhere near his potential as a manager. He's only been here for 10 months, i cannot wait to see what he produces in 2-3 years if we are paitent.
