Boab 73 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Wasn't keen on the Hughes being sacked at first but Roberto he's been a breath of fresh air to City IMO. While he's played 3 teams who you would perhaps have expected Sparky to have seen City seen through, he had City well and with even Petrov showing a work-rate and the defence looking that bit more solid. The big test is Everton today and though I could see it being a draw, I reckon that regardless of tomorrow, we really could see City finish 4th under Mancini in particular with Liverpool struggling and Tottenham only being their real rivals IMO as I feel Villa will eventually fade.

AGM_72 3,690 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I didn't believe City would be top four if Mark Hughes was in charge for the season. I think they have a good chance of it now, though, with Mancini in charge. I hope one of them, Villa or Spurs make it to fourth ahead of Liverpool.

Antwilhar 4 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'd quite like to see Man City finish 4th. Under Hughes they were ok but so inconsistant. Under Mancini its like a completely different team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasGers 96 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I think there should be a wait and see approach to Mancini, as Boab said they haven't really played anyone too special. Just had a look at their schedule and in late Feb/early March they play Liverpool/Chelsea/Tottenham consecutively so we'll see what they are made of then. He's a good manager though, and if the players buy into his system (and early indications are they have), then Man City could very well be challenging for 4th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 54,169 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'm delighted that Mancini is doing well. The guy has never had real credit for the success that he has had over the past eight years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gid 46 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 My burd is a City fan and it's great to see them doing so well now. Mancini has done really well against opposition that you'd expect them to beat but it's his decisions to bring in Garrido, Petrov and Benjani in from the cold that shows real signs of promise as far as I'm concerned. Today is a real test and a victory will prove there mettle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
