I feel when people talk bout experience in general its not the whole team but certain players who may be first time playing champions league gets a little shaky due to pressure or some other things. Tactics plays a part to and mancini i think is a great tactician but this also depends on how the players react to it and also however good a tactician you are sometimes you lose too and of course tension in the fitting room effects it as well.
Wether city should win a cl or not is not the right question, i feel its more like do they have the power to win or do they deserve to win it. Well obviously yes they spent so much and they were the champion of england but winning it is another thing. Its not easy lar winning ucl

Agreed. Players may have experience playing in different leagues, but playing in the CL is "electrifying". Maybe, this went up to certain players head and create tension/pressure to do well and had the whole team not playing to their true potential.
Mancini can have his tactics, but whether it works depend on 2 factors IMO :
1) whether the players can play true to their potential in executing Mancini tactics
2) whether opponents found a better way to nullify Mancini's tactics.

with the amount of money invest.. they should be able to qualify with ease... but.. it not going to be like that...
manchini is a great tactician?? come on...
Money invested does not guarantee success. Money only play the part in getting the better or the best player available.What makes a team ticks is how all the individual players gel together as a team and work well as a whole unit.
I agreed with Rhicebowl's comment. Many things to consider and money thrown in and expect success in short time is not going to come. (Quote : "It does help in creating success but not instantenously and does not guarentees it.")
