Stats are all well and good, but, stats aside, Mancini had the benefit of players who had had time to get to know each other's play.
Mancini gets us into the Champions League, he's The Man
It really is that simple!
Of course Mancini also has had 6 months to get to know the players and Hughes had 18 months. Hughes had 3 windows to get in the players he wanted, Mancini had one. Hughes had a preseason, Mancini had 3 days.
Aye. ...and Mancini only brought in one player in his window.
2 actually.
1 and a half to be more accurate.
