Sorry Mancio but that is bullshit. We have all read the daily Doug reports and know that just ain't true.
WHICH LEAVES THE PLAYERS.....Everyone of whom is more than well aware of what is necessary. Every City player will have known before going on the pitch what they were going to face. An Everton team that was going to bully and beef their way through the game, give 1% and battle for everything. Any player who was unproffessional enough NOT to prepare HIMSELF for the battle is not worthy of being a pro footballer.
All players/treams get knocked over....The Champion footballers go nose to nose with the challenge, rise to the occasionand when they get knocked over, they get up and come back harder. Chamions don't know how to lose. Not just ames but all those little battles during the 90minsthat take place all over the pitch.
Champions have mental strength
that's Roberto trying, weakly, to deflect from the team and onto himself.
The spectre of Jose is, once again for him, looming, and you'd expect him to do with his what he did with his at Inter, which is for those suffering short-term memory loss, to come into a side that is jampacked with fantastic players, add a couple in and a couple out, and play football that wins trophies...a bunch of them.
Roberto has lost his mind, and i feel badly that he's letting it show. It's hurting our team. Always cool as a cucumber, i didn't expect him to comport himself this way in Jan with all the card waving, excuses and "i didn't prepare the team" bollox. He's smarter than this.
We're so close...he needs to take a deep breath, have a glass of wine, get balls deep in some vagina and have a good chill the fucl out for a minute and regroup.
