They do need to get away from the idea of Silva as primary playmaker. He is more Nasri than Fabregas. He doesn't demand the ball enough, nor does he make the final pass or shoot enough. They're almost there. Just need that Fabregas / Kaka player they're rumored to be chasing and they'll be cruising.
Mancini is building a side properly the way it should be, firstly assemble a tough powerful unit that is defensively solid and difficult to beat, then when they've started to gel and won a minor trophy the confidence flows and when they can beat most sides with ease then they can start to think about being more attacking and attractive.
Wenger has done it all arse ways- trying to teach his players to ride a motorbike before they can walk- as Kami says.
