micah richards also never played in the 3-5-2 that everyone else did. i don't like the half arsed formation change, bobby needs to either decide to keep it or chuck it, but micah's was injured when we played it (i assume it's been done at training however).

it's way too easy to blame mancini for this. where's the blame for lescott not headering the ball away for their 2nd goal? that's not tactical ineptitude on bobby's part. he might have changed to formation, but that only happened once the players allowed to score to be 2-1 via sloppy play. surely that's not bobby's fault, that our players aren't playing to standard?

why do the players never get held accountable for how poorly they've played?

point taken, there are some cases. but for example, kun was really, really poor. not a peep really about his performance. joleon was terrible (won't be at the club past jan imo), clichy was constantly giving the young winger (can't remember his name) so much space to swing the ball in. barry was eh. toure looks buggered. we played milner out wide

. nasri was good, and dzeko just doesn't play well when he starts because we don't play with the same urgency we do when he's been coming on.

all that is more at fault (besides milner's positional selection) than bobby changing his formation once we were down.

Even though we ain't great atm i wouldn't mind playing city this weekend or next rather than december when you could have hit your stride.

Funny you mention aguero i've never seen anyone give him stick on here about a performance, i was also wondering why Dzeko started over tevez or mario (not sure what's happened to him since the euros)

**Lightning** · 10-24-2012, 07:26 PM

MAD Mario seems to have lost his MAD lately, he needs to get his mojo back.

Somebody sort him a box of fireworks, he'll soon start scoring.

**Kiz** · 10-24-2012, 07:28 PM

because he very rarely puts in bad performances, and hasn't been the worst this season by a longshot. dzeko started because his form demanded that he did, but because we start every game so, so slow he's not effective.

i have a feeling that the mario/bobby experiment/love affair might be nearing the end of its days too. mario has come back pretty much looking completely disinterested (a feat for him). i'd much rather, right now, sell him off and play super john as the 4th striker, we don't need people who don't want to be at the club. we'll see in jan though.

Snrub wouldn't you feel more comfortable with someone like Guus Hiddink as your head coach instead of Mancini, especially in Europe

Not saying the reason City are doing so badly in Europe is solely Mancini.

**Kiz** · 10-24-2012, 07:40 PM

if you could guarantee me that aussie guus would do a better job than mancini then yes.

until then, no.
