I cannot believe some people on here are STILL moaning given our current situation, record, results, performances and position in the league!? You miserable sods.

If you don't keep looking for improvement you don't succeed. The position is great. Many of the performances aren't. The position won't stay great if we, as a club, settle for those performances. Mancini would say exactly the same thing if you asked him.

Fair enough, give Mancio a pat on the back for doing his job, but please don't go sucking his plums because we beat Blackpool 3-2. We may be 2nd in the league but it's nothing more than I'd expect with the team we've got and the other forerunners not getting the results they'd normally expect.

;-)

We'd have lost this match last season, and we'd have drawn against Newcastle. The difference is we are learning to win dirty and we should get better as the season goes on. Last season having beaten Chelsea we weren't able to build on it, this season we have - pressure will be on Arsenal next week at Eastlands

Good to see us play 442 to start with and you have to give Mancini credit for changing things - we scored 3 times after Adebayor was withdrawn and Silva came on. By mixing up formations teams will find it difficult to set their stall out agianst us, cos they won't necessarily know how we are going to line up.

Good to see Jonno taking some of the corners again, although I would like to see us put a fewin swingers in now and again.

Im starting to like Mancini more and more, but it is stuff that he is doing outside games that is giving me the sense he knows what he is doing with the team and players in general. There is still so much further to go though, it really is early days.
I think he still has some learning to do about the Prem, but also i think he hasn't had the chance to get what he wants going on up front, with all the strikers either injured or not good enough. I think too that there is still a big argument to be made that with so many players coming in they still have to find out how to play together. Yaya, Silva, Milner and AJ together with Tevez.
So as they get used to each other within Bobby's system i really feel that there is a lot more to come.

I also feel that Bob is improving players. Kolo, Vinnie, deJong, Micah to some extent. Slowly but surely for the players that have the right attitude i think he is going to make them even better... which is a mouthwatering prospect to say the least.

How long all this will take is anyone's guess, i dont expect us to be like a well oiled machine until sometime after xmas. There will though be key things that will help both Mancini and the team, one obvious one being a striker that oppositions have to keep their attention on and by doing so gives the forward players just that little extra bit of space. i still think that Ade is capable of doing that and he is just off the pace at present, like Tevez was in the first 3 or 4 games. Balotelli of course may just be that missing danger monger.. teams facing Tevez, Silva, Balotelli and AJ all on form have got to be wondering just what the fucl they can do to restrain them.

So like i say that is coming and when it does and the players get used to it I think it will be pretty safe to say we wont be lacking in attacking potential. When Mancini has that set up then i think we will start to see what kind of attacking play he wants us to have. Until that time im happy to see us grind out results or rely on the individual genius of some of the players. It wont be far off and i have a sense that the timing will be spot on in the end, with us getting stronger and stronger as the season goes on.

We should have sacked him straight after he lost us the carling low alcohol cup.

Every week that goes by before we get rid is a week Strachan could be using to rebuild the team
