Mancini

[Beefymcfc]

Yes, he fucked it up.

I've never really took to the bloke but loved him for what he's done, and always will. However, from tonights score, at 1-0 and 2-1, you know we are missing something. Is he to set in stone with his players rather than being dynamic. I think he's wrong.

Am I wrong?

[PeterParker]

In my mind, i was convinced we will lose today, but i am gutted that we lost the way we did.

That 3-5-2 system really fucked our defence appart and maybe, just maybe the Euro had something to do it too.

[london blue 2]

Why oh why does he not trust Dzeko?

[KinkyKinkladze]

Think we should just be quiet and accept we did well to put a game to Real, we were just let down by early season mistakes. We went there with a gameplan to contain and punish on the break, it so very nearly worked out. The individual errors will be ironed out soon enough.

Onwards and upwards.

[Lee_R]

Are we going to blame Mancini for the team going up a goal twice at Madrid aswell? Or was that not his fault?

At the end of the day we nearly won that game but we lost it to player error.

[PALUS]

I must agree it was some strange things but we did lead 5 min to end but again why we dont start like team who wanna win games, somebody say Bob should know that we are strong team and that even big Real should fear us not other way araund.

this.

have baited a few people in a couple of threads but in all honesty, i come away from that pissed off but positive.

our season started when the final whistle blew tonight.

[Mase]

Yes, he forced Kompany to duck out of the way.

can someone add a poll with three options, ridiculous kneejerk, cunt and wum.

Yes, we could bury our heads but in reality we could've reverted back to ensure we closed it up.

We played defensive for most of the first, attacked most of the second. Bobby took control, he lost it later.

Great game though, local stuff fucked the night up. Keep smiling Blues.

[s1ty m]

Dzeko should play. Not been convinced by him thus far, but he seems to score every game. He's like Allen fucking Clarke. Goal machine.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Gutless non performance.
If we'd lost by five goals it wouldn't have been unfair. If we'd got a point it would have been undeserved.
We got taken apart.
Bob always been and always will be an over cautious Italian shithouse.

Was the question:

From Sandman is:

This is where we are, the next step, (nobody really cares) do you want me to shut the fuck up?

It's a question pal, are you so confident or is your epitomy in line with mine; fight for the leage cup?

Sandman, the view of every City fan to date.

Luv you.

If he hadn't of changed the shape we might have held onto a point or we'd have been beaten comprehensively.

I imagine Mancini would have wanted to change it but we conceded so quickly that he felt we were unable to. TBF we were far better all over the pitch when he changed it and if Vinny hadn't of ducked (and if you wanna be harsh if Garcia had closed down the first quicker) we'd all be hailing Mancini as a genius

[bobby brows]

Now Kolarov is a winger and Sinclair has been signed we have signed the right players for Dzeko to thrive.

No we wouldn't. Anybody could see we were second best all night and that we'd got it wrong.
I wasn't even that upset when they won it (cept it had to be that vile bastard who scored) because we really did deserve nothing.
Bob won't learn from it either. He'll crap his knickers next time too.

[Beefymcfc]

The game changed when he brought his second string on. Dzeko did well.

[lets all have a disco]

Europe is what will get Bobby sacked in the future if he doesnt work out the code to crack it.

[PALUS]

I really dont get what is afreid off , atack them press them on there own half ,we have better players that is wath i dont understan and then defence would not have such pressure all the time.

[Ted Hughes]

He seems to be working too hard on it to me.

If we'd played our best back 4 then just anchored 3 in front of it, I don't think we would have conceded even 20% of the shots or chances we did.
