The crazy, ironic, bizarre, stupid, silly........just pick a word.......thing about it all is the people that were crying out for stability last season for the club are now wanting the managers head within one and a half months of the season?
That's what I'm finding hard to get my head around, is this shit real?
When you know you have a dud you cut the cord quickly and move on before he does anymore damage! If we keep losing games it won't just be some fans wanting him gone the players will to..
Well those same players would need to have a good hard look at why they are at City if that was the case.
Yes the manager has made some mistakes but he cannot get on the field and ensure that the cock ups that have occurred against Cardiff , Villa and Bayern with an all too alarming frequency don't occur again.
The players and the leaders on the field have to take responsibility for their actions and or inaction and as has been drilled over and over again can do positive constructive things to ensure they remain vigilant and compact to minimise damage when under the cosh.
Its a group effort and people on hear saying MP was solely responsible for our demise against Bayern etc are deluding themselves.
Where has the leadership been from VK in the last two games?
If he seriously thinks comments like if that game was player over again 10 times we would win 9 of them he is kidding himself , it doesn't wash with the people that really care about City being successful and if he had his time over again he would say yes we were a tad unlucky but we created our own downfall by not creating one clear cut shot on goal for all the domination we had in open play.
Yes the heads were down after Bayern scored after 7 minutes and you could tell from the body language of many of our players we didn't want to be there , Bayern tired us out was Micah's response.
Well Micah first game back after a lay off if that's the case what are you and your fellow players doing in recovery using all the money we plow into fitness coaching , conditioning coaching from the supporters hard earned money.
Spare me days what kind of excuse is that for the shambolic display to a man against a good Bayern side and I stress good not great because we made a good side look great.
Remember this is the same side that had to beat a 10 man Chelsea on penalites on a neutral ground FFS.
So yes MP is under the pump , just like Moyes and Jose and every other manager whose side is underperforming but don't think the players are blameless for being unable to implement a game plan that they have decided as a group they want to buy into.
They as much as anybody were responsible for RM's demise and MH's demise and the same will happen to MP if they don't show some bottle , get off their fat ego's and show some grit and determination that is required to prove to the public they are worthy of representing this great club.
They are well paid and we expect 100 per cent effort and commitment from the most expensive squad and supposedly the best squad in the premiership.
Those players embarrassed our club against Bayern , yes the players and they embarrassed management and our owners as well.
Its pointless blaming the manager for that performance without asking serious questions about why Hart is a shadow of his best , why Clichy went AWOL , why Nasty continues to foul in dangerous areas , I could on add infinitum but I think you get my drift.
Poor " formation" or not , poor tactics or not , I expect more from this group and they know they have the power and things in their control to change that during games its not rocket science.
MP will carry the can if results and performances continue and you can bet the owners will act swiftly if his targets are not met so that take care of itself.
In the meantime if the players are so into MP and are a happy lot then its about time they pulled their finger out and give Everton a real spanking on Saturday if they want to avoid more heat being placed on MP.
They should be doing alot better than the dross they have dished out since MP took over.
If they have no respect for the current manager they at least should have respect for themselves and have some pride in their performance and sleep a little easier at night knowing they have justified their immense augmentation of income for at least one game.
