www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jan/05/roberto-mancini-manchester-city-fa-cupThis bloke pisses me off. Is he an idiot or just a whinger? They have Zabaleta that can play in midfield, Kompany who was brought to the club as a midfielder and a whole host of attacking midfielders and full backs who could play on the flanks and/or off Aguero. Then they have Tevez who they are paying £1,000,000 a month to do fuck all!

thats what happens when you offer salarys like Yaya Toure who is on over 200,000 a week. It seems that the owners are now worried about the financial fairplay rules so they cant add to the wage bill.
But the problem is totally Mancini's own making as he bought the players on the vastly over-inflated salaries.

He's a complete prat, if you've spent 1 billion pounds and you still find yourself struggling to fill your bench for a game, then serious questions have to be asked.
Did anyone else see him waving an imaginary card against Liverpool to try and get Martin Skrtel sent off for a perfectly good tackle? It's no wonder players are doing it when certain managers are setting an example like that.

What a numpty. I wonder if there is anyone outside of Man City who has any sympathy for him? I would take a guess at no.

Hart
Clichy Lescott Kompany Richards
NDJ Hargreves
Milner Nasri Johnson
Aguero
Subs, Pantyman, Zabaleta, Savic, Clichy, Razak
5 subs 1 is a kid.
Onuha, Bridge and Tevez are in our 25 and will be off.
Barry is suspended, Dzeko and Balotelli are injured and the Toures are off to the ACON.
We are painfully short of players.

to be fair to him i think all he's whinging at is the fact that he was led to believe one thing by the owners who have now reneged on that.doesn't appear to be moaning or feeling sorry for himself that players are injured/ACON etc. just that because of these factors, if they want to win the title then the owners need to stick by their original promise to guarantee that.
with regards to wages of toure, it isn't mancini that agrees to that it's the owners anyway so i think more than anything he's just comlaining about the fact that they have gone back on their word which could affect the outcome of the Premiership.
Plus he isn't saying he can't field a first team but that he can't fill the bench as well...but at the same time, the way Man Utd. have been recently you could realistically say that his second team may still be good enough anyway.

It's no wonder players are doing it when certain managers are setting an example like that. To be fair to him, that was in retaliation to Barry receiving a soft sending off (2 yellows). He's still a ubercunt though. |

Haven't read the entire article but I don't get moaning about only having 1 fit striker and 2 fit CMs. It's not true anyway, but if it were, then play 4-5-1 then, or 4-4-1-1. It's not rocket science.
Aside from that, he's got shit-loads of options. More than Man United who have shite keepers and a threadbare defence.

Am I the only one that thinks that is an absolutely class line up? what a prick. Agreed. Milner, Nasri and Johnson, savagely good attacking midfield. Not to mention the same solid defensive line up they've had all season (If Kompany was out you might have some problems, even this is being generous I think). ^And Jesus I don't know what I'd do if all I had was Aguero up front.^ Just city fans getting there excuses in just in case they don't win, when really they'll have no one but themselves to blame. |

We had injuries to 4 key players before the cup final. Higginbotham, Fuller, Huth and Etherington.
We didn't moan. We rolled our sleeves up and attempted to get on with it.
No excuses, no sympathy.
