Pellegrini is a competent manager and calls to have him sacked when it seems Pep is coming in summer is just complete knee jerkery of the highest order imaginable.
We lost to Arsenal, not a pub team and it is accepted Pellegrini has not helped the defense but getting rid now? Chelsea sacked Mourinho and look where they are as a club.
Someone had a thread locked earlier for having a bit of a bash at those who hold
I only caught the first half and being clinical does not equate to men v boys, again sensationalism, come on man grow a pair.
I saw us dominate possession for a decent chunk of that first half and threaten their goal more. When you say "men v boys" that is understood to mean totally dominated in every department and that is not the case at all.
I agree with your point that there is no opportunity for Pellers to be replaced before the end of the season. However, let's not kid ourselves even outside of this game that our performances and current form are not concerning. The two/three season wait for Pep is hurting us, and the time to have replaced Pellers was at the end of last season. The run of winning games at the end of last season papered over the cracks. As we had another season to wait for Pep Pellers was given another season. There's still a lot to play for and we need the players to step up for the manager, and for the manager to motivate the players into some performances. Personally think we are at a crossroads this season. We will turn around the league form and kick on in the cups, or it will all start to unravel. Hopefully we can have a successful season, but the comments that it will all turn around next week and then the next week, its starting to get concerning as to when it will change. In addition the wait until all the injuries clear up, I think the players we refer to are susceptible to further injuries this season. Disappointing result but let's see how we get on against Sunderland and more importantly at Leicester in a game we mustn't lose.
