HOWARD KENDALL: Roberto Mancini’s Manchester City will provide a big test for Everton FC
I'VE been very impressed with the way Roberto Mancini has gone about setting up his new regime at tomorrow's opponents, Manchester City.The Italian is already showing that he will take a very different approach to running the club than Mark Hughes.Hughes brought some very talented individuals into City, players like Emmanuel Adebayor, Carlos Tevez and Roque Santa Cruz, but he tried to play them all.Hughes seemed to be bringing in these big names and then trying to fit them into a team. Mancini seems to have more of a gameplan and looks like he knows that too many flair players in a side is likely to mean an unbalanced side.He won't just send out the attacking players and hope something happens.Mancini has already dropped Brazilian star Robinho and looks happy to play more of a tactical game based on players who fit into his gameplan, rather than the other way around.It all means City will be a stiff test of the Blues' massively improving form tomorrow afternoon.Carlos Tevez seems like he is thriving and his goals against Blackburn Rovers were top class.
