I think that's rubbish mate. He could have played Aguero, Silva, Sterling, Fernandino, Kompany and Hart. Or just some of them. Sterling can hardly be worn out, can he - he's not been playing 90 minutes week in week out and he's only 21. And some of them would still have been available on Wednesday.
He decided not to risk any of them and basically tossed the FA Cup away, a piece of silverware that we conceivably might have won. And for what?
Personally, I think we'll lose in Kiev on Wednesday and I think we'll lose to Liverpool on Sunday as well.
Incidentally, if we were to do that and the we lost away to Liverpool on the following Wednesday (which surely we might), then that would be a run of 6 consecutive defeats. I wonder when that last happened to City?
I think it comes down to manager and injuries. Had we had Mangala, Nasri, KDB and Bony fit we could have done something at Chelsea but when the squad is weakened, the manager's mistakes become even more obvious.Nobody has a fucking clue anymore mate as to what's going on, right now Leicester, yes Leicester are better than us-who play with the same 14 players week in week out, we had less injuries last season but still did fuck all in the league.Tottenham look a more balanced hungry outfit than us , Arsenal do to if they don't get the mental yips again.
United are a fucking disgrace but find themselves only six points behind us.
The only thing it can be is the manager and the system he implements.
When people start blaming Silva then you really know its Donald Ducked.
Totally agree, Pellegrini is an absolute shambles and not because of yesterday, because we have stagnated for so long with no midfield or shape defensively, and now find ourselves in the position where we are talking six or seven first team players needed in the summer.
The sooner the geratric clown does one the better, I'd pack his effing bags now and pay for his flight. Can't wait to see what a proper manager does next season, transition or not at least we'll be a team
Nope they just mention his first seasonI think even the Manuel fans are beginning to see that he should have been sacked last summer. He's been a terrible appointment. Let's hope the likes of Aguero and Kompany can steer us to a top 4 finish in spite of him.
Do you feel like neo when he wakes up free from the matrix blueinsa now you have seen the truth re: mp and his ineptitude?He was ordered from above to pick that team and thats the point i make.
Im not defending him any more but that was the reality of yesterday mate.
As for Kiev and the final, ive got no confidence and thats the first time ive said that this season.
The summer cant come quick enough.
Manuel said nothing, but what I was asking is in his mind did he not think that his 442 tactical set up away at a full strength Chelsea would end up with us getting smashed?
Given the tools at his disposal yesterday, do you think this would have been the result irrespective of his formation and where he picked the players to play?
Yeah, and they lost in paris
