What both Manuel and Roberto haven't seemed to grasp is that even Barca might struggle against Cardiff and their ilk.
We have several players who to my mind would be better in La Liga. Yaya, Silva, Edin. Not saying they are bad players.
We also have players who seem designed for the EPL. Milner, Negredo and Navas. Admittedly the last two have only played twice. But Navas has pace and Negredo is physical. Dzeko reminds me of Le Tissier. He is a bit of a soft boy. Lots of skill, great goals BUT...
We need to move the ball much quicker, this will allow Kun more space to use his speed and skill.
I reckon this may have been a shock for our new manager. Hope he learns quickly.

Mancini was the guy who would beat the shit out of you if you were crap, which inspired you in the short term to go out there and stick it in his face.
Pellegrini is the old gent who just wants what's best for you, which gives you a deep base of confidence to work off of to better express yourself.
Pellegrini will definitely get the team moving forward but we have to give him time for his ideals to settle in.

I am not sure if he is going to get that mate? I hope he does but 4 new players aint gonna sort that shit out!!!
Give the guy some time please..a attacking philosophy is harder to impregnate then a defensive oneballinio said:A lot worse if you ask me.bondsman said:Mancini took over from Hughes and instantly improved us. We looked organised and purposeful. Pellegrini has arrived and his impact has been?? Fuck all really if everyone is honest. He has not stamped his identity on the side at all and that is worrying.
