Discuss Pellegrini

[hgblue]

Some of you are like those Japanese soldiers who refused to beleive the war was over and hid in the jungles for ages

Mancini has gone, it's been done to death i's over no going back let it go and move on

Ironically, it's my fellow Mancini Outers who haven't moved on. If we'd have served up the last 3 performances under Mancini, there'd be blood on the cleaver on here, but because some posters invested so much into their desire to see the back of Mancini, they refuse to have a word spoken against Pellegrini. Well I think it's ironic anyway.

I can accept shit results, but shit performances where he stands on the touchline looking like a zombie not trying anything different is difficult, why not try 4231 or at 60 minutes put and extra man in midfield to try win that battle and give us a platform from which to build?

I want him to do well but he needs to step up and fast.

I dont think that the result today was the main issue for myself at least.

Bobbys results were hardly much different - you could almost say thats what we all expected. But for me there is a difference we dont control possession we dont look solid at the back and i dont see any team method of play all of which were never an issue under Maqncini - simply put we have regressed.

Garcia seems to be getting a lot of shit but clearly centre half aint his position so why the fuck is MP playng him away at Stoke - maybe he would argue he had little option personally i would have said Rodwell. Either way regardless of Javi performance the person that picks him is MP and therefore ultimately he holds the can.

The work rate of Stoke and Cardiff was excelltent pressed us high made it difficult but still managed to get numbers behind the ball

Sorry but for me MP aint the man - the only reason for playing Garcia today is that he did not want to risk Jolean - please god let this be true if Javi starts next week then i will despair

Good shout. I remember when Mancini used to do that everyone was saying "what the fuck's he doing" but more often than not it worked!

It's not about not getting over Mancini it's just clear we have traded a ferrari for a skoda. If your gonna sack someone you sure as hell better replace them with someone better.

Is Ducato a Trabant?

Just to play devils advocate here but if Jose can return to Chelsea then it's not really impossible to suggest that a certain Italian could prowl the touch line of mcfc once again


Just sayin

Not sure you can call MP the bottom of the barrel just yet Billy, give him a chance.

I thought the decision to remove Mancini was the correct one, and when I think back to some of our performances last season on the road, eg at Everton, Sunderland, Stoke, QPR, Swansea, Ajax, Wigan (Wembley) etc, I stand by that assessment, and were he still in charge I don't believe we'd be doing any better than we are now under Pellegrini. Trouble is what we are doing now under Pellegrini is desperately poor, bordering on the clueless. We were crying out for a forward with pace and flair, but didn't buy one, we were crying out for a quality centre half (given Kompany's previous for going down injured with no-one near him), but didn't buy one, and unfortunately we have loaded all our wide options into one basket with Navas, who looks an irredeemable lightweight against disciplined defending. Throw in tactics that don't play to the strengths of the players selected, and it all looks a turgid, one paced, shambles. In all honesty, I don't think we will beat either Plzen or the rags, and if that happens then the pressure will really be on, 6 games in or not........

Bob was a good Manager but his time had come to an end.

Pelle should be judged on his own performances. So far I can't see it and some of his decisions have me scratching my head.

I'm not alone. The new cabal begins to take shape ;).

I dont think we will finish top 4 under this guy that is the difference - we have had a piss easy open to the season compared to others

We will lose out top 4 status this year its that simple if things continue

 

[sajtion]

pellegrini has no depth at all. i thought he might do well but actually now i think no

 

[leewill31]

i have to say his mistake today was not starting with his best 11 of which i feel we would have won the game in the first half imho, do that and then rest the players in the second half.

Cheers Exeter. Just a reminder that the news Bobby was being sacked came out before the Cup Final so you cod hardly expect him to motivate the players.

It will take time for MP to impose his style on the team. He has been brought in to bring success in the CL so however ridiculous, he will be under pressure if we don't get a result at Plzen and put in a good performance in the Derby.
