On a positive note. Thought he had his best game for us today.

We played well. We deserved to win but lost. This sometime happens. We are playing better and better.

No it didn't we had the same shape and formation after the change.

Definitely improving. Won't be too long until we put a good run in the league together...

We cross the ball! We actually put crosses in! I thought our players didn't know how to do it!

To be fair you don't have to be outspoken to be a great manager, ancellotti and hiddink spring to mind. I think the execs liked the style that pellegrini plays, and knew him from Spain. As for the creativity part, we always lack creativity without silva we did under mancini and e did today. We...

So which is it for you? Both successes under difficult circumstances or both fail to live up to expectation? I never said it was a success that pellegrini finished 2nd, just that fans at the time thought that he warranted a second season from his performance. If I was to choose then they were...

Re: Yaya - World class It doesn't matter how good he is. Why is he never benched? Even world class players like iniesta, mata etc get benched. Why is he always played every game apart from Carling cup for 3 years. Its the weirdest thing...

Well it depends if you rate the Argentinian league or not... I was just pointing out that the hodgson comparison is a bit harsh. I would also like to say that people are never to old to do anything. Skiing, skydiving, winning their first major european trophy... I'm an optimist as I stated...

Same old problems keep coming up again and again. We play to narrow sometimes, struggle to win without kompany, struggle at tough away grounds, left side is vunerable, struggle to create when silva doesn't play. I hope pellegrini can fix these i really do...

Well you have to start winning major european trophies somewhere.... I like to stay optimistic, but i guess the forum would be boring if everyone was.

This Hodgson comparison is pretty random. Hodgson has managed 15 clubs in europe several them being in weak leagues , sweden switzerland etc. He failed at several of those clubs and many fans were happy to see the back of him. In the premier league he took several average premier league teams...

QPR Away Liverpool Home Southampton Away We don't have to pretend that under mancini we were the best team in the universe. And for the record I think pellegrini should be given more time, I thought Mancini should have been given another season. Hughes should have been given till the end of...

Newcastle at home.

Can't see casillas getting back in the team.... Isco and modric have been bad. When apparently ozil had a great game for arsenal makes you wonder if it is the worst run football club ever...

I agree! Pellegrini needs time to apply his system on the team. The new signings need time to settle in and the defensive injuries haven't helped. However the way we have been playing is do pellegrini no favours, and we better get our act together quick before we start slipping behind the...

I'm not suggesting that you can't discuss pelegrinis tactics or player selection etc. I just wanted to see who thought we should sack a manager after 4 games in charge, I don't think even chelsea have done that....

Is anyone actually suggesting we should sack pellegrini....

I'm really dissapointed that this thread isn't about a elaborate heist...

Barry and Yaya played together in a two man midfield, plenty of times in the previous two seasons. We don't necessarily need a man shielding. Another person playing in front of them like in a Mancini 4-2-3-1 formation, so that we keep posession easier, could be a better possibility. -- Tue...
