Agreed. Plus Mancini is one of the most defensive coachs in the world. Tactically he is like Mourinho, of course not with the same talent. And he is certainly the only one who play 3 defensive midfielders in the same team. So i guess the yesterday game was somehow the 'remake' of Inter-Barça in CL... In my opinion there is no need to be too disapointed, even if at the end of the game the defeat is a bit offensive and wounding... And it's just football, even if you're the best team in the world with eleven Gold Ball you can loose against very weak teams. Actually, we really need of Lampard or at least Benayoun (i would have never think to say this one day lol) ! Against teams who play football, the midfield Ramires - Mikel - Essien is enough. But against teams of the like of Shitty, a creative player is really needed. And this year, we will have this problem only against Shitty, Real Madrid and Inter...
