Bozza

Would you mind schooling the OP in the art of wummery

He's utterly dreadful at it

probably not greg, but he's a key player for city, certainly better than nasri

Oh yeah nasri 25+ million to warm a bench

"Oh yeah nasri 25+ million to warm a bench"

Eh? he's only been a sub in 3 premier league games this year, he has started in the vast majority of them. He's not played particularly well, granted, but he started them!

He is usually hard to find, hiding behind his team mates.......

Not all of him gawa, annoyingly he lets his right leg out at times...

id have sacked him on the spot for that

Nasri is good for kicking balls into the net from set pieces

I didn't realise that City had the monopoly on players who failed to reach expectations at their new club.

The thing is, people are not showing enough respect to Mancini despite his record.
Can you imagine if it was if Arry with this impressive record?

Must be frustrating that Melton. He clearly has talent but seemingly he hasn't really kicked on at City

His body language (along with one or two others) hasn't looked quite right. Not too sure he's particularly happy tbh although that may just be because of his form of course.

I don't think you could say it hasn't worked out for him at City though, he does have a PL medal now!

what about his comical substitutions, he has to be the worst manager in the world at making substitutions, losing at southampton i know ill take off david silva one of the 3 best players in the league and ill bring on maicon a past it brazilian right back

I agree, whats up with you city fans?

Mancini is the only PL manager who actually has a trophy at the moment..


...2 in fact.

Mancini better than SAF?

If that is your view then fair enough but people agreeing with it will be very few and far between...

Of the current premiership managers I would have SAF above Mancini for sure, but also AVB, Moyes and Wenger.

Also I do wonder if it is more impressive to be successful with Inter in Italy after your major rivals have all been taken out by a scandal but a complete failure in Europe or to take over Aberdeen take on and beat your bigger rivals (with no scandal to take them out) domestically and even mange to achieve some European success....

His Inter team was also like his Man City team a very expensive squad, I think they had one of the biggest wage bills in Europe during Mancini's time, he did manage to maintain their Domestic success but in Europe they were useless.

As they say in football:-

"You're only as good as your last season"

So Fergie is on a par with Neil Warnock at the moment.

do they? or did you just make that up?

They do say that.

"Must be frustrating that Melton. He clearly has talent but seemingly he hasn't really kicked on at City"

It is Macca. Personally, I don't think our set up suits him, he is playing on the left wing yet his natural tendency is to cut inside and get the ball centrally. The problem is, Silva does the same from the other side and both Aguero and Tevez like to drop deep too, so all the space comes congested.

Now when they are all on song, like the tail end of last season, it can make for fantastic football as they pass it between them. The problem is when one or two are not playing at their best, which has been the case for most of the season. Due to the lack of width, we don't really have the plan b and so are finding it harder to break teams down.

Never heard that in football, Doris. Only in boxing. But perhaps that's Mankini's forte - punching players.

I didn't realise that there was a boxing season.

its relatively easy to win the league if you spend a ridiculous amount on amassing the worlds best footballers.

----------------------

DIdn't Utd do the same? The team/squad that won the league in the early 90s was the most expensively assembled squad in English football history at the time.

The amounts of money is now a lot of higher, but Utd did then, what City are doing now.

I believe they say - your last game........

Anyways if Mancini actually believes he is the best manager in England he has truly bought into the narrow minded obsessing with everything to do with United and constantly compare everything to United.

your only as good as your last game or the table never lies, take you pick?
