Pellegrini and his (in)ability to change games.....
Do questions have to be asked of Pellegrini's reading of games when we're chasing? Against Chelsea we were overrun in midfield. MDM's lack of mobility and lack of speed were shown up. What did Pellegrini do? Took of Negrado and brought on Jovetic and that was it. Milner and Rodwell stayed sat on the bench. Today we dominated for an hour but never really looked like scoring. Again Negrado taken off, as was Jovetic. Yaya played too deep and we lacked real width on the left, Clichy not getting forward anywhere near enough. Why not take Clichy off for Kolorov and leave 2 up front? Maybe if Lescott had been playing instead of MDM that wouldve been an option. But possibly 2 slow defenders is going to leave us exposed on the breakaway.
Im gutted with that result today, 2 pts dropped and Chelsea go top. We coulda been 6 pts ahead of them, now we're 2 behind them. Theyve also got the best run in. Its gonna be hard from here.
