West Ham post game....

West Ham were good no question. And each time we come up against a team playing well we gift them goals. It's not the draw that bothers me but conceding a goal from a fucking throw in. I mean what is that shit? And why do we keep conceding soft goals?

I think we try and find new ways every week to fuck things up! Pellegrini does deserve stick but he can do nothing about shit like that. Or other comedy defending where we slice or completely mishit clearances.

On the plus side I thought the ref was decent enough.
 
I thought we were poor all over the pitch tonight, Hart and Delph, probably the only ones above average.

Worst by a country mile was KdB, who covered a lot of grass, to little or no effect, he needs dropping for me. Silva wasn't that much better, where has his passing ability gone, in fact where has the teams passing ability gone ?

I don't know why we bother having corners, free kicks, or throw ins, so predictable you have to wonder if anyone actually does any coaching on them, and if they do, they need sacking, they are that poor.

The daft thing is, we could and probably should have won, gifting another 2 goals away, and hitting the post twice ourselves, though it would have been totally undeserved, but I'll take a point from it.

I thought the team was fine, but to be so lacking in concentration in the first minute is inexcusable for players with this talent, it made a tough job much harder. Having said that I thought the team was fine, there are too many attacking players, who don't put in anywhere near enough defending, and don't compliment each other, I don't think we should be playing Silva and de Bruyne at the same time, especially when both are so off form. Even Aguero wasn't great, despite his two goals, but we did look more dangerous once Kelechi came on, but why for Delph ?

Finally more signs that Otamendi is not a great defender, he takes too many risks, and lacks concentration.

Bluemoon's new scapegoat. He was far better than Silva today and yet he'll get attacked because he's usually underwhelming away from home. Silva had 75% pass success and created just a signle chance while De Bruyne had 86% pass success, covered way more ground and created 3 chances despite not playing in the numer 10 role.
 
The end of the season can't com quick enough? We're second in the league, semi of league cup, 4th round FA cup at weekend, then champs' league. You fucking bell end. Go and support someone else . We don't need you your utter shite support. You fucking epitomise the Johnny-cum-lately brigade. Boo-hoo, it ain't all 5 nil wins every week. You fucking lightweight. Get fucked. Tit.
I beg your pardon ? Go and support someone else ?? Come back sunshine when you`ve hit the 1500 live games and I don`t mean on the fucking tele.
 
I agree that Silva was worse than KDB, not that he was any cop either but I don't think I've seen Silva give the ball away so many times, he looks fearful of putting a foot in too. Where has his pirouettes gone??

Thought Delph was below average....
 
We all know the messiah is coming to turn us into conquerers of the universe, hammering all before us, conceding none.
We know MP is a sitting duck that we can have a pop at every time we fail to win a game by 4.
But what exactly do people want? 442 gets hammered for it. 433 or 451 gets hammered for it.
Why doesnt he teach an international defender to face the ball and not switch off at a throw in? Not his fault.
The issue is midfield protection and it is clear he doesn't know how to put the pieces together. Personally I think 2 of the ferns and Delphi, and in front of them 3 of raheem, Kdb, silva, navas and yaya.
Motivation may be an issue, but he is in a position I'm sure is not of his choosing or the players. Let's take the point and start again next week. If it's not enough in May so be it, I suspect however it will be.
He's hammered for all of it all the time because he has no organisation over the way we play, with or without the ball, and pays no attention to detail on the oppositions' strengths and weaknesses. So his 4231 is shit, his 442 is shit and so is his 433. We are terrible for a supposed top side, we really are, and it's because of the manager. And I reckon since around November, now the players think this of the manager too and have lost faith in him.

We score some lovely goals from some individual brilliance and we win some games because we're just far better than the opposition but when the big games come round or we have a battle on our hands against well organised sides or decent top half sides we've stopped winning because the manager doesn't prepare the team properly.

This team looked great when they still had Mancini's disciplined defensive systems drilled into their psychie but were given the freedom to go and express themselves going forward. But now the defensive systems have been long forgotten and are not trained on and we are forever losing belief and confidence because of this we are just levelling out at Pellegrini's level which is just average when it comes to the top standard of this sport.

He isn't good enough and we've now become not good enough. Our passing is painfully slow to the point of being boring and very predictable and we are desperate for some defensive systems, utterly desperate. I've never seen a team need something more than us to be drilled on defensive structures. It would pep this side up no end (pun intended or not!).

I've not left a City game and thought we were brilliant today or "wow, that was great" for fucking ages!

We might well win this title but it is there fore the taking and there possibly has never and will ever be an easier title to win. But after seeing all his flaws it won't be because of this mahager that we'll win it.
 
Glad. Didn't laugh much during the game, did we.

It was quite depressing watching highly talented footballers unable to pass the ball 10 yards, mis control when it reached them switch off when a throw in was taken, but I take solace in the fact it wasn't their fault but the managers I can sleep easier tonight

Basically, this.

The point you seem not to be considering is why all of the above faults are happening?
