    Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini feels that he needs a bigger squad to compete for the Premier League title.

    Reigning champions Manchester United have taken pole position in the title race in recent weeks, and Mancini feels his squad depth has let them down.

    Despite spending over £200 million since taking charge two years ago, the Italian wants more investment.

    "We lost Yaya and Kolo Toure for the African Nations Cup, had some injuries and lost Vincent Kompany, Joleon Lescott and Sergio Aguero in the last two games," bemoaned Mancini.

    "Maybe next year if we lose two important players, we can have another two good players and we can change.

    "Up to now, we have plugged away at building a strong team, so now I think three or four more players with a strong mentality will be enough to finish it.

    "The difference is in 20 players, not the 11, and because they are used to staying on top, they play without problems.

    "We maybe need time - but we have already arrived as one of the best teams in Europe.

    "The difference with United is in their squad, not their starting eleven. Because they are used to always being at the top they can play without problems and they don't have the pressure we have, because they have won everything.

    "When you play against a team like United, that is the difference - not the players."

    He's got the squad, they need a better manager though, someone who can grind out those results. Like at the start of the season it was all 5-0 scorelines, and now they're struggling to score. 1-0's/2-0's every game > 5-0's/0-0's every game.

    He's talking about the club - The manager (Ferguson) not the fans.

    Or not. Why the fuck have you replied, deleted it and then gone to the trouble of finding a new gif? Pretty much proves my point that that result is like a knife to your heart that can never be erased no matter what happens and no matter how much you want to forget it.

    Yes, Manchester City beating United 6-1 affected me so much. My life is now unbearable.

    I deleted my post because I thought a gif would tell the story better. I also made the gif so there was no trouble finding it.

    Mal's an Arsenal fan...

    They don't particularly need a bigger squad. Just players who can step in and actually do a job.

    No matter who they've got in defence with Kompany out, it looks like an accident waiting to happen- especially with Savic there. And they missed Yaya Toure loads, the likes of De Jong, Barry, Milner are good, but they don't do what Toure does.

    And their strikers, is there actually one that's 100% happy/settled there? Even rumours of Aguero to Madrid are coming out more frequently now.

    ofcourse no one is happy, look at the state of that squad. dzeko starts the season on fire getting hattricks and scoring for fun, his reward? being dropped for a undisciplined, inconsistent retard

    then the tevez situation... its ridiculous that he even considered bringing him back, showed HUGE weakness and lack of authority. you think fergie would be this strict if these kind of stuff didnt effect a team? you think fergie kicks quality players out for not respecting him cause its fun?

    RR used to criticized fergie cause he did things that benefited him rather then team(dropping world class players, or selling them for indiscipline) but what he doesnt realize is that fergie WAS doing it for the team. look at rooney and evans few months ago, they didnt show up to training and fergie fines them and drops them from the team (which we lost 3-2 to blackburn lol), that loss is a small price to pay for a squad that knows who is boss and these kind of behavior will not be tolerated

    God you're blind. Once upon a time Rooney said that his team-mates weren't good enough to challenge in the future, handed in a transfer request and publically stated that his Utd days were over. How does Fergie reward him? With a bumper new contract.

    I don't get your second sentence either? Dzeko wasn't dropped for Rooney?

    totally different, since rooney apologized A DAY after going public, he never refused to play for the team... he admitted his mistake and we did not offer him a bigger contract then before it all going public

    Rooney's not been booked or sent off all season. Alee

    Look in the past though. Likes of Ince, Stam, Keane, Beckham, Ruud.

    Not all "challenged the manager" but they fell out, and were sold.

    It's alright for Tevez. Fucks off to Argentina with no pay for half a season because he's sat on the bench. Agrees to come back for what? Sit on the bench. not worthy

    What bullshit. That greedy granny-shagging cunt that you so idolize only apologized after you'd given him a nice fat pay rise to spunk on hookers and hair. Which, let's face it, was all he'd wanted from the start. Rooney doesn't give a shit about you.. get over it.

    If he didn't give a shit he wouldn't be here you cunt.

    Fergie could have only done so much to keep him here. End of the day he changed his mind about the bollocks he was saying about we can't challenge any more (1 CL Final and almost consecutive titles later... Alee )

    And all right then. He's not been booked in the league.
