Mancini loves defending, like. Times last season they were playing with 3 defensive midfielders.
For all the pressure they've been under so far this game (and poor showing last season), the core of their set up is good. Just think its the attacking elements that don't blend together, which means the opposition get the ball back far too quickly. Be interesting to see how they performed with and without Bellamy, as I think he really makes a difference to City's play.
They'll get nowhere playing Tevez up top on his own like.
