Discuss Pellegrini

[salfordblue-tony2]

The reason everyone is worried and coming on ere is because of the performances so far this season,we are SHIT gone backwards, clueless etc etc even some players who looked decent last year are woeful .Yes a point at STOKE is maybe OK but it`s the performances and that`s against very average teams.

Okay they are against "average teams" who are shooting above their weight. Both Newcastle (who were shit against us) and Super Stoke are both level with the so called "big three". Even Cardiff have only lost as many as the City, the Scum (who two wins have come against teams in bottom 4) and Chelsea.

Who'd have thought after 4 games the big three would all be on 7 points,

Don't panic as soon as VINNY returns we'll be okay !

Please be fit for derby , please.

We've not taken a step backwards, we've taken one giant fucking leap backwards.

You see for me this is what i'm talking about. that's a huge over statement and simply not true. Would we have performed any better with Silva, Kompany, Clichy, out of the side under Mancini - the answer's no. You can dispute it but I'd suggest you were kidding yourself.

FORZA PELLEGRINI!


He comes from Chilay
Everything will be okay!


...walks off to secure the rights....

It can't be a coincidence we share an identical record with United and Chelsea, currently, both who have also changed the manager?

Yet, both Mourinho and Moyes are already fully conversant in the ways of the Premier League.

They say one man doesn't make a team but I would beg to differ, and dare say, Barcelona fans would also agree.

The loss of Kompany has also coincided with our worst performances and results under Mancini over the course of two seasons.

Vinny's return will allow Pellegrini to expand his thinking and selection processes by ten-fold.

Sounds like a one man team.

definite smelly rag, and if not, just a ........................

tbh if you take your blue tinted specs off 'just like me' and digest the post he does make some good points

Perhaps if he hadn't posted that it "looks like the joke is on us", after four games, then perhaps people could take the rest of what he posted more seriously.

It's quite simple.
I took great pleasure reminding all of my rag mates, family members etc that City's best signing during the summer was Moyes joining the scum on the basis that he had won nowt.
I was genuinely excited at the prospect of City playing a new attacking free flowing style of football, instead we are served up a load of turgid crap, where we were lucky to not concede to Hull before we scored and then get a real hammering yesterday.

It's far too early to say that Manuel is a poor appointment, of course it is.

When new players & a new manager arrive poor performances can happen (yes, even three in a row) whilst everyone gets used to each other and to the new approach.

However, for one reason alone I am concerned.... I have absolutely no idea what this new approach is and, dare I say it, so far it looks as though the team doesn't either. What exactly is Manuel trying to do? What formation is he trying to get us playing and what attitude is he trying to instill?

There are people on here who know a great deal more than me about football. I'd be really grateful if a few of you could give your opinion on what you think he's trying to do.

I agree that the new approach (whatever that is) is either not been taken on board by the players or not trusted by the players. To be honest I am still not sure what this new approach is meant to be or even why after 10 or so games it continues to elude the players. I wouldn't mind so much but since we spent pre season tweeting how great pre season was and how they had never been fitter or better prepared it makes the last 3 performances even more worrying.

And yes I include pre season games because they are there for one reason and that's to prepare the team for the campaign and the bedding in of new additions and systems. Furthermore for all those who are insisting its 'just 4 games' a certain Mark Hughes - yes Mark fucking Hughes - in a mere 4 games has managed to turn Stoke hoofball into something that resembles football with encouraging performances and results. Not only that Stoke are coached (I use the term loosely) by Mark Bowen - yes Mark fucking Bowen - and have managed to bed in a new system and new players without too much difficulty. A new system that for Stoke must be akin to Neanderthal man discovering fire for the first time.

So in answer to your question I have no idea what Pellers is trying to do or why it seems to be so fiendishly difficult for the team to adopt.

It sounds like the joke is on you, rather than the rest of us.

You're clearly a very sensitive soul.

Serious question pal-How long do you give the manager? Let's just say the worse case scenario happens this week. I honestly believe the powers that be will consider sacking him.

Don't be ridiculous.

Why is that ridiculous Cleavers?
We could realistically be 8 pts behind the leaders next week if the dippers win on Monday and next weekend?
If - and yes it is a big if - that happens then progression has become regression-of that there is no doubt and the voices of discontent will become louser and louder. The pressure will grow on the manager and team.

There, I've underlined the riciculous bit, there's not a chance they will consider sacking him next Monday, not a chance, not even in your wildest dreams.

Skash, you are right, it was a shit post but the sentiment remains.

Many on here need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Can you explain to me why we left Navas, Aguero, Fernandinho and Lescott on the bench yesterday ? And where was Dzeko- you know that striker he's lauded all pre season as being integral to the team ?

He seems to be doing a good job of destroying players confidence of late- Navas has either been pulled off or found himself on the bench apart from the Newcastle opener. A player who thrives on minuites on the pitch and needs to play to settle is collecting splinters .


If your happy then bully for you, he seems to be heading down shit street and its of his own making.

I see your back, no doubt "pissing yourself laughing" at us[/quote


I am to a certain degree yes, the blind optimism some have had in Pellagrini and the Spanish Cheech and Chong is quite amusing- nearly as amusing as those who slagged off Mancini in the last year of his tenure.

But don't confuse that with my love for the club Sir Moderator -sat in your comfey leather armchair dreaming up opinions of fans you don't know two shits about.

Take Messi out of the Barcelona team and you start to realise, it's not a bad thing.

PSG were taking the piss out of Barca at the Camp Nou until they went for broke and brought on a half-fit hobbling Messi.

The psychological impact certain players have can't be stressed enough.

If Silva, Yaya, even Aguero are missing from the team-sheet, I'm like 'Oh, well'.

I see Komps out of that back four and like our opponents, 'City are half a team'.

Look at Gerrard at Liverpool, an amazing force of nature for over a decade.

Instead of the shite Mancini bought last summer, that £50m should have gone on another centre-back and another left-back.
