Discuss Pellegrini...(cont)

[Brendan110_0]

A long time ago in this thread I said I like & respect our manager & I haven't changed my opinion. He is quiet, thoughtful & just gets on with the job in hand.

He makes mistakes now & again but who doesn't? Can any one of you, hand on heart, say you are perfect?

Mr Pellegrini will do for me for the length of his contract.

Pellegrini is doing great, and he has a class song involving a Lamborghini.

It is vital that Javi Garcia starts , but you just never know with Pellegrini, he could easily start the disastrous Toure/Fernandinho midfield.

It's late and I've had a long day and in the absence of a smiley :-) I can't quite tell if you're taking the piss or not. Garcia has done well in the last couple of months, but come July I'd still jettison him to the highest bidder. Gimme Fernandinho anytime mate.

If you're referring to Yaya & Dinho in a 2 man midfield, Yaya isn't suited to it imho. Yaya in a 3 man midfield where his defensive duties are akin to that of a No 10, yes. He just doesn't have that busy box to box style for a 2 man midfield and I feel it's where we've struggled on numerous occasions this season. We need another like Dinho and like Yaya tbh, because when either is missing we seem to lose a little something.

Garcia is better than Fernandinho in the holding role.

Fernandinho is not a holding midfielder, I'm surprised that people think he is one .. he is never a holding midfielder.. this is a role he's tried this season and it is fair to say that he did okay in the first half of the season but in the second half of the season, something happened to him .. I think for now he should watch from the sidelines.

I agree and disagree in that Fernandinho is much much more than just a holding midfield player as he can go box to box which Garcia can't and he can also attack which isn't Garcia's strong point and he can defend better than Garcia. But all that aside, Fernandinho is just a better player in every way apart from heading the ball imho. But its all about opinions and you're entitled to yours although I don't agree with it.

Why has Fernandinho tailed off this season you ask? For the same reason Zabaleta has. They're both running on empty after almost playing the entire season in 4 competitions without a break so its not surprising to see its catching up with them. Hopefully our lack of like for like cover for them both and Yaya will hopefully be addressed during the coming transfer window.

OOhhhh noooo, now I am cursing you because I will go around all day singing the Lamborghini song!! ;-)

~Sheikh Mansour went to Spain, in a Lamborghini, brought us back a manager, Manuel Pellegrini~........... x 1M

Classic move the goal posts, he can never win whatever he does because it will never be good enough,

I don't envy you mods, mate. We can just clock a poster's name and move straight on if we're not in the mood; you've got to actually read it!

He won't be given any credit by a small minority, their ego comes before supporting the club

I think you need to pop your glasses back on. I said if he wins the league this year he will rightly go down as a club legend.

I really am enjoying watching Atletico tonight, as I have all season, I reckon City should be lining Simeone up for next season, of the one after.... His style is not too far from our own Manuel's ,

We should do well to learn from our skulky neighbours and put a decent succession plan in place... If we can!

Atletico play the 4-2-2-2 better than anyone else.

But I don't believe we should go for another foreign manager. I prefer English management and a squad with mostly English players.

If Pellegrini fails (which I don't think he will), we must consider Harry Rednapp.

You what? Now I remember why I don't usually read this thread.

All over again ;-)

Posters get so wedded to their position that they think that the world will think them weak if they change their minds, to be honest I have always thought a flexible position is the best. I liked Mancini and and I like Pellegrini both will go down in history as two of the best managers we have ever had (until the next one)

This is a great time for Pellers to prove the doubters wrong.

2 of my concerns have been the away form to top half teams and his inability to get the result needed in the big game (Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal etc).

They don't come much bigger than this. It's time to show us all what he is made of

Spot on, exactly my view.
