How about this for Mancini on Emre

3/13/2005 12:07:00 PM
Roberto Mancini’s return to the Olimpico, where for the first time he faced his former club Lazio, didn’t go too well as it ended up in a 1-1 draw
I hoped Emre could have been more effective during the first half. I expected the bad reception I got, but in the end I just want to say thank you to the club and the fans,” said Mancio after the game.

Veron’s words were harsher than his coaches.

“If we play like this against Porto we risk wasting the most important game of our season. We must remain concentrated and determined throughout the entire match,” said the Chelsea owned Argentine.

Emre was poor, and along with Kily and Adriano was the worst Inter player on the pitch. Veron was the only player that really did anything until Stankovic and VDM came on and made quite a difference in terms of attacking and threat to goal.

Every coach favours certain players, no matter the coach. It's human nature. Anyone can say whatever they want about Stankovic but they are a better side with him in it.

You are as biased as anything, mate. The average Inter fan would clearly tell you this as obvious in the ratings on inter.it. Just go to the front page and click on Ratings under the Lazio-Inter heading. You will be surprised at how many people disagree with you. :)

He got a 6.3. From the starting XI only JZ, Cordoba, Cruz and Veron were able to get better ratings.

I agree with Mancini with what he said about Emre's first half performance. That is because he realizes that Emre's much better than that and that he could produce a solid performance anytime. That is why he kept him the full 90. IF he really meant to degrade Emre's worth, then he is harming himself more than anyone else since he chose to keep him on the pitch although he thought he pretty much sucked.

But Mancini shouldn't gone public about it. He is clearly biased for singling out Emre when guys like Stankovic, Veron and Miha had much worse matches, and Mancini never said a word about it. Just goes to show how biased and "favorite-players" oriented he is. I'm starting to dislike him as a matter of fact. I hope he matures and realizes what he's doing is childish.

Nicely said Razman. I would have to agree with the ratings on Inter.it. Mancini's behaviour towards some of the players is not great and he should pick up his act there, although i have always liked Roberto Mancini.

I'm not saying Emre is a bad player, actually I rate him highly, maybe it's when I watch him but he is usually pretty poor. Especially last night, but then again Inter were poor all over the park last night so I was probably unfair to single him out.

It all depends on the player as a person, some players respond better by being publicy criticised. Maybe Mancini feels that this was the best way round it, while others may react badly to being criticised in the press and need it to be said privately.

I would like to know why Mancini was so cautious to only start Veron from the former Lazio crew, it's actually a fact that players always do well against their former clubs.

they needed to relax.
i have my knowledge of football,n i think emre didnt play well,he sucked, i was mad when in the end of the game he was making fouls in place of passing
shooting in place of passing.

VERON IS THE KING
CZ IS THE PRINCE
MIHA IS THE BRAINS

Emre did come pretty close to scoring and also did a nice run and then set up Adriano who wasted a chance to set himself up for a shot.

Emre isn't as good as he was before but it's not as if he's past it or anything. He'll be back to his best.
 
#11 ·
I support Emre, he is just gellingback into the team now, and it is expected that he should be a bit rusty

Hopefully he is experienced enough to do the job against Porto
A coach has the right to punish his players, its his perogative to criticise who he wants.
In this case Mancini has my support, and funnily enough so does our Turkish wonder

Then please excuse me because I have to strongly disagree with your knowledge of football. :)

Did you even bother checking his rating in inter.it? Apparently, most Interisti disagree with you too.
 
#13 ·
I have to go with Razman here and disagree with Coolntall's impressions of Emre. In addition, he almost scored and set up a goal against Lazio, so I'm not sure exactly why it's said that he sucked. IMO, he had a decent game where, all in all, the team did not.
 
#16 ·
Hey Coolntall, no offense man, but you gotta cool down. lately you've been making outrageous comments and been asking for ppl to get axed, or pppl to get sold, or bought. Just take a Pepsid, and all will be good.
 
#17 ·
what the heck do u mean
puls
i m coolntall
i m always cool
i im just saying what i think will be better for inter
n inter needs 3 or 4 quality players
n if u whant them u need to sell to get money!

You guys don't need anymore players.

You need a coach that doesn't choose a scape goat, when the team can't pull off a victory.

My point isn't about how well Emre played or not, it's about the team atmosphere.

Mancini really does have his favorite players, and no matter how poorly they play, you never here him give the blame to them.

If a player like VDM, Kily Emre, Chino, or Davids doesn't go over the top then he says something stupid like this to the media.

Do you think that creates a good atmosphere within the team?

Hell why do you think it's so hard for Inter, to come together as a team & pull off victories instead of ties.

Next year Inter should either clean house and only keep the players Mancio wants, and bring in only players he chooses.

Also by doing that you can avoid selling the leagues best defender for a goalie the coach is only going to consdier a 3rd string goalie

The other altenrative is to get rid of Mancio himself.
I think that the players themselves are sometimes dissapointed about
the starting line up, because they want to play with the most inform players, instead of Mancio pets.

I think everyone here agrees that Emre is no Zidane but this sort of attitude from Mancini isn't exactly going to help Emre's confidence, Emre was below par but to be honest so was the whole team. Anyway this is no suprise from Mancini, I know alot of managers have a favourite or two but I don't know if I have seen such a bias coach in Mancini. He is good but this is his major flaw.

He must have some sort of fairness for the good of the team, If Emre is poor fair enough say that but you have to say it to other players who are below par too, Not only the ones that aren't in your little gang.

Agreed, Faisal.

And I don't think Emre was that bad when he went back to play on the center, in the end of the game. He had a good run or two, and almost scored a beautiful goal. Kily and CZ were much worse than him IMO.

Problem is, Inter has twice the number of central midfielders they really need. Players like Emre and Stankovic are not wingers, but play there because they have no room on the center, with so many players.

Do you know the weird thing? Its that its all opinion. I mean rarely do I see ppl agree. Half say CZ sucked, half say he good. Same with REcoba. Same with Emre. SO how can we blame Mancio for his own personal judgement, he is the coach after all.

Yeah he got better as the game went on, And you can't blame him for not being great straight away since he hasn't had as many minutes as others this season.

Mancini is acting as if 10 players played the game of there lifes with Emre letting everyone down when that is far from the case like you say, Others were arguably worse.

Scapegoat, Thats basically it

The thing is Pulsar, I think some people had so many discussions here and are more worried about being proved right than learning and seeing what happens. Recoba fans will never admit when he played a bad game, always making up excuses, same for CZ, Veron, Vieri and Adriano. When people get in discussion here, they become more and more attached to some players and also get far from the truth.

Pulsar everyone has their opinion but its obvious that Mancini isn't fair in his critcism of players.

And Roberto the Recoba stuff should not be brought up in this thread :D, Anyway the guy broke his ankle now so who knows how he will come back especially now he is 29. I bet Mancini was happy when he heard this, Maybe it was one of his hitmen that took him out in training because to break a bone in training is rare, People pull muscles etc but rarely get broken ankles by their own teammates.
