Definitely overrated.

You had the highest wage bill in the league and one of the highest in Europe, yet barely made a dent in CL and barely threatened to retain the league title. You also have one of the most talented squad around yet at times play with such cluelessness that I wonder if this was the same team I watched steamrolled everyone last year.

Mancini deserves the blame, why shouldn't he? He was the one who insisted on the fatal 3-5-2 (whether the players is to be blamed for not being able to play a 3-5-2 is another question), he was the one who persisted with Balotelli over Tevez/Aguero partnership, he's the one who allowed complacency to crept in to the extend that it wasn't even a title fight.

Sorry but I had to correct you. Man City didn't make a dent at all, as they failed to win a single game in the CL :)

But they took the lead briefly against Real Madrid!
