Roberto Mancini

have we already bounced back ? blivious:

Fuck you and fuck the last two subs.

He didn't have a choice with the last sub, for Eder was crippled.

Well done showing some balls tonight.

Thought you lost them, must have grew another pair.

I fear it was only because we were 0-3 down. Expect business as usual in the for coming weeks.

Indeed, if only we could play like this in every game.

He did have a choice with eder. Just like he had a choice with santon. Handa should have on even if he had to play as an outfield player. The best penalty stopper sitting in the stands when we need him....

What you are saying is true but carrizo was good and he isnt also bad with penalties, yesterday was just one off. I think he just saw eder really crippled and thought about the next match or sth but with mancini you never know.

You cannot ask a player to play injured and to play against Rube with 10 men or with a GK as an outfield player is suicidal, we wouldn't even make it to penalties. Palacio fucked up, not Carrizo.

Carizzo actually kept us in the game when he saved Morata's solid shot, was it in the 120th minute? We cannot know if Handa would have saved it, coming so late, not warmed up etc

I wouldn't get too excited. Mancini played a tactical sound game against Roma as well this season and then went back to the old ways.

You can, santon clearly carried on while injured. Many managers in the past have asked players to grit their teeth and go on.

Handa's record vs penalties is unrivalled, no one else in the league is better at it. Handa on the pitch gives us a better chance. Mancini was a coward.

100% agree plus we have seen carizzo save penalties before and he was damn good so he just let him play especially after eder becoming crippled , it just wasn't carizzo's night at the penalty shootout today but I understand mancini's choice and like you said even if handanovic played we might have lost its true he is an excellent penalty stopper, what happened is done lets not cry over split milk and win palmero the coming will be better.

 

[Ronin]

I wouldn't call him a coward, not for this match. He went attacking from the first minute. Regarding the last sub, it seemed obvious that Mancini told Santon to try and keep on playing, hence why he had to go off the pitch twice to recieve treatment. Then Eder got injured as well and I'm pretty sure he asked to be subbed cause he couldn't even walk. Playing with 10 players for 15 minutes could've cost us the game even before penalties.

 

[TGDella]

Yeah would've been madness to play with 10 men just so Handa could come on. If we'd have played with 10 and conceded a goal we'd have a lot to say about it.

Even if you don't agree with that though, I don't see how you can call it a cowardly decision? It was a calculated weighing up of the risks of conceding a goal compared to the advantage of having handa in for the pens. Where is the cowardice in this binary decision of what would be the most likely thing to win us the game?

As for putting on handa as an outfield player...what? I've never heard of something like that happening in the game, and not sure you can just re-assign your keeper for penalties?

I'm guessing Handa would've subbed in Eder and then swapped positions with Carrizo, Handa being the GK and Carrizo the outfield player. That's the only way I could see it working. It probably would make history if it went that way.

 

[Black Knight]

It would also make Mancini look like an absolute tool if it backfired in any way.

 

[surripere]

It wouldn't even need to backfire to make him look like a tool, the mere decision to do such would achieve that alone. No right minded manager would ever make such a move. It's a non issue & I'm amazed it's even being discussed. Let's not let the loony take over the asylum.

 

[Y&h]

Of course it would be weird (and maybe suicidal) playing with 2 goalkeepers in different positions but that's not the point.

Mancini's thought process when picking up the starting eleven didn't influence the game's surprising result in 90 minutes. Don't misquote me as I'm not bashing Mancini, it's just a simple fact evident with his decision to leave out his main keeper in a crucial game similar to what he did against Wolfsburg. Not taking anything from Carrizo who saved us at the end, but you can't seriously tell me that the hypothetical "Handanovic at extra time" substitution was planned from the beginning. The same could be said about him starting Ljajic and Santon, two players he doesn't trust lately.

I'd say he was surprised by the outcome and may have wasted 3 subs (1 in the staring lineup & 2 after Kondogbia was injured) on a faint possibility that was interrupted by Santon & Eder's exhaustion.

Mancini put Manaj on so we could grab a 4th goal...
Mancio's words

Kudos Mancini. Lets see how good you are in the next 5 games as your job is on the line.

I'm glad to see that Mancini is getting credit.

Too often we as fans praise the players when things go well and blame the manager when things go wrong. Glad to see that FIF has some sensible folks still

 

[Javier'sSon]

The fuck are people praising Mancini playing offensively of the get-go for? You realise we're down 0-3 playing home? Lmao.

This cunt and his cunts of players only show up when it's a dead rubber and there's no pressure on them whatsoever. Napoli's game when we we got a red card comes to mind where we actually played good football when we literally had nothing to lose. I'm strictly talking about performances and not results because you could say that the 1-0 vs Roma and the 0-0 with Juve were good to decent results but the performances were abysmal (intensity was high vs Juve but only for 30 minutes). I don't even care that Juve were basically playing their B team because regardless of who they play I'd suspect our players would have put in a good display because of the same fact that it's too little too late, granted the result would not have been 3-0 but people might still praise for the solid showing.

Bunch of pussies who only express themselves when no one expects them to.

what a generic comment. there are fans that are too hard on the manager in other clubs, so the manager isn't to blame at inter and should get credit for the good things? how are those two conclusions rlated? we should be fair but that doesnt have anything to do with whether or not it is fair to say that mancini is very responsible for this season being a failure, whether or not he should receive most of the credit for the good, and whether or not the good that he gives comes close to justifying the bad.
