This title race is WIDE open, adding to the hysteria and frustrations, as we are using previous campaigns as the barometer.
Come the end of December, we will be in that top three and right in the mix.
Thankfully, the transfer window will be open and we'll be busier than most, getting rid of the deadwood frauds who have stolen a living for too long.
Pellegrini will get what he wants after qualifying for next stage of Champs League.
Do think he and we would have been better served keeping Barry for his final year.
Dzeko, Richards, Lescott, Milner, Hart, Kolarov, Garcia, all on borrowed time.
We will be champions.
I will soon have consumed as much alcohol as you
I hope
Sober as a judge!
Will bookmark this all the same ;)
Summerbuzz said:Proper farcical. Our passing along the back four was hideous at times. Richards was so poor he was clearly ignored by team-mates whenever possible. Pass badly at the back and it affects the midfield. you end up taking stupid pot shots when the midfield fails to create clear openings.
Kolarov has been one of the better players this term loads better than Gael, which I guess illustrates how shit we've been. Can't see many of those going in Jan. Too much has been made of CL qualification for me. He wanted firing if he didnt get thru that group. Mancini bashers forget that Real madrid Dortmund, Ajax, Bayern (twice) are all former winners and part of Europes elite and Napoli were certainly no pushovers. Bit of an inconvenient truth.tolmie's hairdoo said:If some are now suggesting messrs Moyes, Rodgers, AVB, Pochetino are better than Pellegrini, then where to begin?

The Engineer said:Txiki Begiristain and farran Soriano hand picked Manuel Pellegrini as there yes man who will incorporate there signings into a team so all you blues looking for a scape goat in Manuel I'm afraid he's here for the long haul.
How stupid will the two Spanish wheelers and dealers look if they hand the engineer his P45 after 11-15 EPL games in charge, we would certainly live up to the rags nickname 'the laughing stock'!
I wonder what they would think however if this scenario occurred (results wise over the next 5 EPL fixtures)
Spurs H) draw, Swansea H) Won, WBA A) Draw, Southampton A) lost, Arsenal H) draw
That would be 6 points from the next 5 games and not entirly unrealistic. We would have massed 25 points out of a possible 45 which would clearly be unacceptable.
My point is do you think the media/fans would be calling for his head so soon??
Ive completely lost faith in the manager after this display. Pellegrini looked absolutely lost and uncomfortable on the touchline today. We lacked such imagination that the only reason that Wes Brown got motm was because Navas was kicking the ball at his shins throughout the entire second half. Hes come out and said hes happy with our away performances. You could give him the benefit of the doubt and maybe he has a point but it is the manner of our defeats and the narrative of ridiculous bad luck associated with them. I have a general bad feeling at the bottom of my stomach and have come to the conclusion. Combined with how he dealt with Mourinho gate a couple of weeks back that he is an unlucky manager, doesnt really have the class of his predecessor and definately not the man to take this club forward. Maybe we should give Jupp or the General a call?ballinio said:What have you got to offer ?Ducado said:wilmslowblue said:Nope, the one that is meant to win 5 trophies in 5 years! The engineer who may well get us into the knockout stages at the expense of us finishing 10th in the league. The engineer who has won 1 away match all season and seems to think that the Premier League is a joke league like La Liga!
Have you got anything else to offer apart from your hatred of the manager? What do you propose the club do?

Of the 7 players above who are all on borrowed time, Pellegrini chose to play 6 of them?

Right ! Can you explain this Tolmie ? Playing six of the players to be shipped out doesn't sound like the work of a tactical genius
I think Clichy may have a back injury which is preventing him from playing training as he would like. That was the case some weeks back, but I don't know if it's fixed now or not. That for me is why Kolarov has come back into the team, and is arguably the better left back at the moment.bluemoonmatt said:Kolarov has been one of the better players this term loads better than Gael, which I guess illustrates how shit we've been.
