Discussion: Manuel Pellegrini 2015/16

[MeatHunterrr]

Looks like that new contract was a waste of paper

not only that, but also have to pay him off because of that... true masterstroke..

 

[Buzzer77]

Unfortunately, I think I would. I say that because I don't usually think that knee jerk gets you anywhere.

But, what he clear to me from his general demeanour is that he doesn't have the fight to get it back on track. He just sits there and hopes. There's clearly something not quite right at the moment and it's not just all the injuries - although that doesn't help.

I'm concerned that if we don't act soon we could be going from fighting on 4 fronts to fighting for forth place very quickly.

 

[jollylescott]

He moans about fatigue but plays no young players against Hull City at home in a cup that is seen as the least important.

I know a lot of us have raved on about Pellers not giving young players a go. I still believe that is legitimate criticism. I simply don't understand why he played such a strong team against Hull. He seems to not prioritise games. We could have rested 4 or 5 players against Hull, and if we had lost then so be it. We could then have had those players fresh for today.

Desperately wanting to see the headline changed to pellegrini has been sacked!! Going backwards at an alarming rate and our defence is absolutely atrocious!!! If he takes us through the Xmas period then the wheels will fabulously come off!!! Lost the players and the plot by the look of it as well

 

[blueinsa]

He's a ****

I get the passion and upset at such a poor performance but we have to be better than calling a City manager like this.

He undoubtedly has his faults like we all do but calling him a **** or suggesting he is one is way out of line and not for me.

We're the kings of pissing money away

 

[PragueBlue]

Parking the cost issue, are you saying those players are playing anything other than "better than average"?

No, they aren't but they aren't average players. It's Pellegrini's job to make the team equal to the sum of its parts, if not better. Unfortunately he has the team playing much worse than the sum of its parts.

 

[Manc in London]

Picks the wrong team
Makes the wrong subsitutions
Plays the wrong tactics
Lacks any passion or motivation

Apart from that he doing a great job.

You could certainly accuse of the first two, especially in some of the recent league performances. However, I cannot see the relevance of the third point.

 

[Gordyola]

He's past his sell-by date, in fact so far past it he is rotting, the club need to act. I thought he proven me wrong at the start of the season and held my hands up but unfortunately he's reverted to type, was hoping that the it would be a trophy winning season when he decides to retire on a high clearing the way for Pep

 

[kunaguero10]

Kinnell,when did he get his hair cut?.

Knew there was something different about him

 

[loriblue]

I've a feeling Gary Monk may be coming available. If not Brendan Rogers I guess.

Frying pans and fires come to mind !

Okay , he's a nice ****

That high he's leaving on must be crack cocaine because it won't be a league title !

 

[IWasHere]

Not true, i'll give you PSG were good at home but they still didn't manage to win and the 2nd leg was very even.

It happens sometimes you can dominate but not get a result. That's football.
Second leg, personally I thought they dominated however you thought it was even. They had 10 men and yet it was even and ended up beating Chelsea, what does that say about them?

 

[mancity1]

Nothing to discuss.

He has to go and the sooner the better.

In saying that we certainly need better players , fitter players , players with more heart for the fight than those that gave up after kick off today.

 

[deano ou812]

Pellegrini has to go, Mancini was far better manager and should have been allowed to implement his plans for City.

Pellegrini is bereft of any ideas, lacking passion and empty of ideas, sits in the bench like a zombie with no care for Players or club

Never like to see a manager sacked,but in my view it could well be time,and in games pellegrini when the team falls behind just as you say sits there like a zombie ,just seems to be going through the motions...

 

[neel]

In his post match, he blames injuries...This team even with injuries was better than stokes...Ok if you know that you have limited squad due to injuries,then change fucking playing style...its better to earn 1 point than loose 3

 

[blue ranger]

The biggest problem with pellers is that whenever you watch city it's like he hasn't looked at the opposition whatsoever and we never play any tactics to counter. Beyond disappointed. We need to get rid now and get someone like Hiddink in until the end of the season.

 

[FantasyIreland]

It cant come soon enough now,hes lost the plot and,as we experienced with the previous incumbent,his reign is now doing us more harm than good.

We're going off topic mate, different eyes etc. Even with the 6th best squad in Europe, it's still the best in the Prem on that we can agree.
