Have you seen Bayern playing. For the amount of money that has been spent you have verykowe expectations of this teams. This is a team made up of first team internationals in the highest rated national teams in the world verus a team that belongs in lower mid table in the championship. Getting a shot on target should be a Christmas gift to them.

why set up with two defensive midfielders against one of the worst teams in the league?
why Navas for Bony leaving us with no striker?
why wait 80 minutes when nothing was happening?
why Delph for Toure when we needed players that can score?
why did it take 84 minutes before bringing a striker on?
he has to go if Guardiola is available
This is the whole thing about today....should have had 2 up top
Your still being a knobShut up

What is he meant to do. He starts with the team that brushed aside Sevilla (bar kev) and they repay him with this.
Er??? Fucking change things??? Ffs

Sack everyone then and flap like a bellend.I think you'll find having no strikers on the field for most of the game played a rather large part also.
What's the point of having nacho play 5 minutes? He should have been on for at least 30. Sterling was absolutely awful today, 2 or 3 clear chances. Moaning and complaining. It was a poor display by all today. The ball pinballing about, no control, no movement.
This is 2 points dropped.
Shocking, just shocking. Didn't seem any desire or passion or speed going forward until the last 5 minutes.

Why would we do that we were playing real mad...sorry Aston villa, maybe pellers thought this was the champions league finalsNo need to sub Sterling. Manuel should of hooked Fernando and played with Fern and Delph in the centre.

Regardless of what happens in the north London derby, this has been a waste of two points for no apparent reason, just thrown away, just like the west ham game. Dominate, create chances, but still manage to waste points, Very frustrating. Almost as if the team is afraid to take hold and dominate the barclays premier league. It always has to be a struggle, a tussle. The spirit of the team is struggling to overcome this issue and it has been like that for a few years. As long as we are top at the end of the season, then it wont matter but let's hope games like this will not come back to hurt us.
People say we did not have strikers on but those chances should be taken whether you are a striker or a defender. The hard work (movement and creation) haD already been done, it just needed a finish and we could not do that today. Sterling should have done better with his two opportunities. Aston Villa had a lot of energy but never really threatened so as I said, this has been a waste of two points and not a good day for the team.

I despair reading this forum sometimes. What do people want Pellegrini to do? Go on and twat the ball into the net himself?Scary isn't it. Fuck me, I read the Matchday Forum thread today and it was fucking embarrassing.
"We analysed what happened last season," Pellegrini said.
"It wasn't a disaster because we finished second and we were the team who scored the most goals, but we were not consistent through the whole year. We lost points against teams who were fighting relegation, so I think after three games you can see we have learned those lessons.
I think not!!

Top of the league, qualified for the cl with 2 games to spare and quarters of lc, some of you muppets need to fuck off and support someone else.Bad finishing was all that cost us today.
Happy Clapper Alert!!

You start with a big lazy blob in midfield and you are a man down from the start.
Substitute the blob at half time and we might have got a win.

True, but that's why people are incensed Pellers didn't put on a striker. They bury those chances.We had 3 perfect opportunities from 6 yards that we somehow managed to fuck up.
That is why we didn't win.

Doesn't bode well when our captain is making excuses before a ball had even been kicked. That interview was an indication that the first half 'performance' was on its way. Mentality was not one of champions in that first 45 minutes. 2nd half was better and we'd have won if our manager played a striker.
Problem is all our gameplan was after Bony injury that the ball has to given to Navas and then he crosses...
One and only gameplan, predictable but he was still able to cross it perfectly well two times out of the 100 times he tried but neither Sterling/KDB was able to score from very close.
We should have varied it lot better, long shots, overlaps, few attacks on the left, maybe trough the middle also.
No disaster so far, we are still favourites for the title, but we need to improve, the fact a mediocre Leicester squad with Ranieri got just one point less than our squad with Pelle has to be a sign we do not reached our best potential in the league so time to start improving and keep winning games in a row.

What's that got to do with the play on the pitch?Did you watch a different game twattle? You think that was acceptable from the manager who fucked up all 3 subs!! Bringing fuckin delph on with 15 to go to get the crowd fired up, genius!!
We missed easy chances. That's why we didn't win. Nothing to do with the manager

Missed a pair of very good chances, hit the crossbar, we are starting to miss Silva and Aguero, hopefully they will be back after the break
