Your Twisting Me Melons Man !!! Call The Cops… Nice One!!
Its pantomime season and Garry Cook looks like he is doing the greatest impression of Mother Goose!
Yes, results were not going in the direction we were aiming for but to have a manager treated the way he was brought an embarrassment to the club. The dismissal of Hughes could have been done a better way without fans hearing about it at half time during the Sunderland game.
On a personal level I thought the tactics we played under Hughes were absolutely shocking and were only a level or two above Stuart Pearce and co. A squad worth £200 million quid should not be hoofing the ball in the air to create a counter attack.
The way we lost possession time and time again was shocking and I do not blame the players I blame the coaching staff.
People can say Adeyebyor was playing poor but lets remember he never had to hold the ball upfront at Arsenal from a goalkeepers long punt. He got the ball played into his feet and other players like Van-Persie played off him.
Stevie Ireland is another player who did not look comfortable under Hughes this season, and the poor performances off Barry for the last 2 months told me something was not correct.
There was no structure to our play and our defending and communication on set plays was amateur to say the least. To be fair to Hughes he has made some great signings but I think he had the cards in his possession but did not have a clue what cards to play and how.
I wish him every success in the future and like any manager he will become stronger for the mistakes he has made. First tip Mark is that you should re-shuffle your training staff and look at a foreign job for a year or two like Steve McClaren.
As for Mr Mancini, well I believe this maybe the best appointment City have ever made. Let’s remember this is the choice of the owners, Mark Hughes was part of the furniture when the Sheik arrived and lets be honest he did not have the best pedigree.
Mancini will bring a brain to our football club and I guarantee you will see this as soon as we play Stoke. Do not expect a unbeaten run stretching to the end of the season as it will take a few games for the players to get his system in their heads.
Watch out for quick attacking football with structured play and a strong defensive unit. Expect 3 players in the window and don’t be surprised to see a 20 year old Centre Half who is Danish.
I have a strong source who is adamant Mouriniho is Citys manager in the summer and has accepted the post already. He is that convinced he has bet me £100 that he will be in place by the start of the world cup.
Impossible you say!!!
Nothing is impossible………especially if you’re a City Fan.
I love it..xx
