The battle for 4th place

[Peggy's a blue]

True, but I am not talking about money, I am talking re-building a squad, something Pellegrini has not done in the time he has been here. And to be honest Sterling and KDB are not his signings at all, they have been purchased for Pep to utilise

Just my opinion

I hope he makes better use of them!

Just my opinion

He hasn't reworked any of the core of the team, whether that's by bad planning and luck or deliberate I don't know. But he has signed enough to make a new squad so whilst he's been in charge I wouldn't say he's "had to work with what was there", one way or another there's been an evolution of the squad we had.

Cabarello, Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Demichelis, Fernando, Fernandinho, Delph, Negredo, Navas, Sterling, De Bruyne, Bony, Iheanacho in for Barry, Milner, Tevez, Balotelli, Richards, Lescott, Garcia, Dzeko, Nastasic and so on.

He's built his own squad for whatever his apparent style of play now is (the identity we haven't seen nor had since May 14). You could argue that some were bought with the future in mind, but then again what players aren't?

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

The problem here is that very few of this squad will have a place in Pep's plans. He will have a high number of players who will have to be sold before new players are brought in to replace them, and I would think that few of our current squad could consider themselves as certain to be here next season. For this reason, there is bound to be a level of disenchantment within the squad and this is weighing on performances.

Your last two posts to this guy are a bit OTT, mate. I'm not looking for an argument but they do you and Bluemoon mods no credit at all.

Fair enough, but you have to remember that I am also a fan. And its the same shit week in week out from some.
Have a look and see if he posted after we won the cup.

Gutted about what though mate
They win, so fucking what.
Support City and ignore them cunts

Come on guys, let's get some positive energy going on here, I know it's a cliche but tomorrow's game is a final, negative thoughts/energy can be self fulfilling!

Take it you are going to ban yourself for 7 days now. Out of order that.

How can anyone be 'gutted'. One of the two games that mattered today went well for City. So it was at worst a half bad day. Not a disaster.

And today's results are really secondary to what WE have to do tomorrow.

Win, lose or draw other teams what matters is down to us and us alone.

And we have not even played yet.

The time for anyone to feel gutted is if we do not win tomorrow. If we do then the pressure will all be on United. And it will still be in our hands even if they then respond - by just winning one last match next Sunday we will be home in 3rd.

We are lucky to have about the 99th chance this season to get things done. It is up to us to not toss it away.

Think lot of blues are sick of being let down this season esp after the first 5 games . Something has happened in the dressing room plus pellers has made some right cock ups bar the first 5 games a couple of chumps league and the carling cup semis n final it's been a dog shit season by players and the manager and his team

Going to be tough to prise Arsenal from the 4th place trophy I can see them throwing the game tomorrow.

I was thinking that

Non of that is in for question, however, I firmly believe, think the worst, let that negative energy transfer to the team, and hey presto you get your wish. Just my humble opinion.

For what exactly, if you can point out how that broke the CoC then I'll voluntarily go.
It'll be miles better than reading the crap you post

The atmosphere will be on knife edge tomorrow unless a early goal for us calms the nerves. Stray passes here n there shit cross from Navas starts us going and I hope to he'll Kolarov doesn't start or I can see another altercation with us in southstand

I've got a bad feeling about this....
