Re: Discuss Pellegrini
Our injury record was far worse last season than during our title winning season. Anyway it's a pointless discussion because ultimately your right every club has injuries and it doesn't excuse poor performances generally. However poor performances when you have a new manager, new players, and a shift in style, alongside key injuries, is a little more understandable.
I'm not trying to absolve Pellegrini of the blame for how poor we've been - far from it. I'm just trying to point out that it's simply too early to make a call one way or the other. Me, I rate the guy very highly, far higher than I ever rated Mancini. Of course on that basis I'm going to want to give him the benefit of the doubt. That is natural. However I want what's best for City. Not just today and tomorrow, but over a period of time. If Pellegrini turns out to be the wrong appointment I'll be the first one on here saying I got it wrong.

Aguero had an allergic reaction to a spray which is commonly used. Maybe it was their fault that Balotelli had an allergic reaction to grass too!
Still a stain on keeping us injury free wasn't it. It's also fair to point out that Kompany was out injured for a spell that season too as were other players. Key players were out last season as well. Key players are out every season at every club, but it isn't considered much of an excuse for poor performances.
