Sorry, but if you think our players would accept going into a CL SF without a game plan and not escalate it, then, iI think you are far from the truthI don't think that's due to the players, it's the game plan
On Tuesday it showed we had no game plan and we relied on our star players

This is what we were doing all game, can you please tell me what the game plan was since I'm far from the truth.

You obviously missed my point. We are a team of senior internationals who were going into a Champs league SF. Your post inferred that Pellers had no game plan and that's what manifested itself on the day. Do you seriously believe the players would accept that position, particularly as they know the manager isn't here next season. I find it strange that you don't think the players would do anything other than obey "no orders". This represented a great opportunity for our senior players to reach the final of the CL. They certainly (IMO) would not have accepted "no game plan"
Any professional player worth his salt would have kicked off big style long before the match.

That's the way I see it. I'm sure there will be changes to the playing squad as you would expect at any club when a new manager comes in but I am still not having it that we need some kind of entirely new squad.End of Pellegrini. The era goes on.

If you now think the players didn't bother, why are you blaming the manager?
My God, we lost 1-0 in the champions league semi final can people get a grip. We've got progressively worse under Pelle and some of our players are looking old. But how many players have been rested when needed, how many of the players are confused by our tactics and/or coaching, sure we a couple past it (yaya, mdm) we have one who may never play regularly again (Vinny) and two or three who are squad players at best unless we drastically change our style. But this is about evolution not revolution. Most of our squad is good enough, with a better manager I still think we would have walked the league this season.
Its going to be revolution because we've not been evolving. We shouldn't have eras.
A team of internationals going into a Champions league semi final, allegedly the competition every footballer wants to play in....and they play like they did, whatever they think of the manager....I found their performance totally baffling.
Have they no professional pride, don't give a sh1t or are they really just a bunch of mercenaries that talk the talk, but don't walk the walk.?

My argument is that we had no game plan Wednesday night and the performance showed it

This team came to its end after the 2013-14 title win. The club just didn't realise though. Yaya's cake incident was probably the moment.

Rememember when Mancini said after the winning title that every big club needs to add one or two top class players but than came the Barca boys .
Yup still pains me to the day, backed Mancini and we would have been talking about a dynasty

I heard on the radio a little time back that James Milner had a very good match tonight, for Liverpool. How come he left, aged 29 (I think)? Can't face the possibility - which could happen - of Liverpool (via the Europa Cup) and Man Utd. in 4th spot, getting into the CL and we don't.... grrrr
Milner, Milner blah blah fucking snake
