Discuss Pellegrini (Pt 3)

[MadchesterCity]

Has anybody thought that maybe our manager and the previous one(he who cannot be named as someone put it rather well) don't have a clue why we are dropping so many points away from home? maybe they are as perplexed as the rest of us?

Both managers have made decisions that have baffled us fans, all managers do, nearly all teams defend deep against us at home we overcome it away we don't, why? has to be the players is the only answer i can come up with

Pellegrini should get the full season to turn it around and i hope he does because the alternative is a new manager and a large rebuild of the squad

The alternative is Patrick Viera. Already here, already respected (and feared), and already fully aware of what's expected.

As much as I love Vieira and hoep he will become great manager I think he will need time, I hope Viagra will be future City manager.

With Yaya and Garcia at the fucking heart of it.

Fucking criminal.

He must have a reason

The guy's clearly forgotten more about football than I'll ever know, but I just get this really unsettling feeling that I know more about our players strengths than he does. It's starting to do my head in.

 

[Danielmanc]

He must have a reason

He's inept?

Can't be the answer, not possible

Hope it isn't or we are foooked

You really are a grade A weapon Marvin.

You have the cheek to say "it's a stupid question" and "there's no science" then quote a formula "your team imposing their game on the opposition" . Irony of a bellend!

Marvin why the fuck was it a stupid question I asked of Billy. He said he had faith in MP to get it right and I asked him genuinely no piss taking why he believed that and he answered albeit without giving me his reasons? Maybe we should just resort back to slagging each other off then instead, but Billy knows me well enough not to resort to that.

Because you can't really explain what's gone wrong in the handful of away defeats we've had, I can't other than point at bad luck and injuries to Kompany and Hart's absence. We've played well in these games

As I said before, football isn't an exact science and your are looking for a bacterium and an anti-biotic

I doubt if you asked Pellegrini he could explain what is the cause of the away defeats, or if there is a connection between any of them. It's all taken in a momentum of its own now, and City are known as a soft-touch away from home

I think your mistaken with the question I asked billyshears which was why does he have faith in MP getting it right long term, what is it he has seen or believes in him for as our manager. Nothing to do with why we lost particularly today.

 

[The Flash]

The decision to change both fullbacks when already having to make 3 changes was criminally incompetent.

correct.

I think that's nearer the mark. The guy has been exposed as being no better than average and is living on borrowed time.

And persisting with Garcia. What's that about?

Does Pellers feel guilty for selling him previously? So to assuage his guilt, he plays him?

Why not start with Milner and Yaya? Why wait until the pedestrian has picked up a booking and watched everyone in a Sunderland shirt stroll past him?

Surely, if it's obvious to me, it must be obvious to anyone who works within football that Garcia doesn't have the pace, vision or guile to be a part of the team? Whatever we want to achieve, it cannot be done with Garcia in the squad.

 

[80s Shorts]

Indeed. I suspect the guy is a bit bemused by what has happened away from home: it is generally moments rather than overall performance that keeps costing us; which makes it much harder to identify and solve the problem.

OB1:

When in a hole - stop digging!

I need to put my shovel away in a minute but I stand by the opinion that MP is entitled to be somewhat perplexed tonight. His team have outplayed their opponents in the last four away league games but lost three of them. The winning goals for the opponents in the last two defeats were directly attributable to calamatous "individual" errors by players who were nowhere near today's starting line-up. Today the opponets get a goal thanks to a bad refereeing decision, having at that point presented no real threat and presenting very little thereafter; whilst Pelle's team racked up 24 shots at goal in the game.

Strewth, I'm definitely perplexed by that but I don't have to find the solution, he does.

How many of them 24 shots were on target or could be construed as genuine chances to score ?

Not many.

I'd like to fucking hear it.

We are now, that's for sure. At the risk of repeating myself though, with a total of 4 defeats away from home all last season, how were we a soft touch then?

Oh, and still waiting for your answer on why Zab & Clichy were benched today......

That'd certainly stiffen the defence.......

Re: Clueless manager

Just back and still angry. Got to say that is the most inept display of management I have seen in a long time , this guy is fucking clueless. Need to score swap a right back ,jimmy out wide right with navas on bench and Garcia in the team. To completely change the back four for a game away from home with great results going into it is beyond belief. 3 hours on a coach and still not calmed down he is fucking useless
