Discuss Pellegrini...

[pudge]

So, there I was, giving it the large one about Pellegrini not playing Milner instead of Navas at Liverpool and there I was all delighted tonight that he got a start.

What a time to put in possibly his worst performance in a Blue shirt.

Cheers Jim. No, honest, cheers mate.

Bingo. So much is put at the manager's door.

I got a whisper today of the non-renewals amongst our squad. Lets just say that the manager and Txiki have had enough time and expect far more outgoings than most expect. Bring on phase 3 of the project.

Oh and for the record - once again Pellegrini did fuck all wrong. Going to laugh when he signs a contract extension this summer.

There's more chance of Edin asking me to be his best man

Feel sorry for David Silva

Genuinely think he deserves to be playing amongst the elite footballers not a bunch of fucking bottle jobs.

Doesn't matter who's been in charge neither Mancini or Pellegrini have been able to get these players across the line when it matters

And before anyone points to us winning the league in 2012, look how close we actually were to making a mess of that, the QPR game reminded me a lot of tonight's game

Kolarov, Nasri, Dzeko, Garcia, Milner and Hart just simply not good enough mentally and don't have the ability for where this club wants to be.

Forget the manager, we've got too many players that will always be the bridesmaid and never the pride

This, we're a shadow of ourselves when he doesn't play.

 

[without a dream]

At least with our previous incumbent when we put in performances as pathetic as that you knew he was calling them a bunch of lazy cunts ;)

Regardless of what the manager is or isn't doing I find it staggering that the players can't motivate themselves to an acceptable level with the fucking title on the line. It doesn't say good things about the players and I hope they realise just how much they've let themselves down this season.

His excuses were absolutely mindboggling, just speechless, uttlerly utterly speechless.

At least Chappy is happy

Oh just fuck off you Parisian joke.
You blamed Mancini for everything last year, but now you want to blame the players now your chosen one is shown to be fucking useless.
You couldn't get a whisper off a Rue St Denis rent boy, so stop trying to be itk when you know as much as my fucking border collie.

Well given what the club see as desirable traits, any suggestion I could fathom such as;

Hiddink
Ancelotti
Even the likes of Van Gaal or Klopp
Not even mentioning that evil Italian who doesn't say good morning

..Would be pointless.

The question ought to be, "..what other semi-entertaining nearly men who won't raise their voice are out there as a replacement?"

Pellegrini has no plan B; this "we'll play one way and it's up to the other team to stop" bollocks is just that, that doesn't work. You have to accommodate for the opposition but he's too stubborn.

Never mind him sitting on his hands or standing arms folded as quiet as a church mouse when it's not working, wouldn't want to get a reaction out of some players would we.. Everyone watching could see from 10 minutes on the players couldn't give a flying fuck, I'd like to see the manager, who's paid to motivate them, to do so actual motivating. I imagine the half time team talk was akin to a little girls tea party.

As much as some are determined to believe that others have never been behind the current manager, they choose not to see the obvious due to the fear of the hit their own ego would take.

Pellegrini couldn't motivate the players after a bad loss? That's on him.

In our title winning season;

When we lost at Stamford bridge we went on and beat Arsenal the next week.

When we lost in the last minute to Sunderland that season we went on to beat Liverpool the next game

When we lost that game to Swansea we beat Chelsea next time up and of course after that Arsenal defeat...

We've been lackluster for longer than we were entertaining, the manager takes his portion of the blame. He's openly said he's underestimated teams, that's not good enough at this level, as Mancini found out and it was evident tonight.

Correct.

The day that the club declared to the entire football world that manchester city players run the club and can fire the manager was the day we fucked up.

That decision was on the Spanish duo.

As well as MP being on his way, these two fifth columnists should be right behind him. Khaldoon, who quite rightly to this point has been beyond criticism, needs to man up now and swing the axe.

If not, I genuinely fear for the future of the city project.


And mods, where the **** did my thread go..?

It went to archive before it spiraled out of control, it was going nowhere but downwards.

I can see this thread going the same way before too long to be honest

Cheers for the reply. And for the record, that was probably the right decision.

Bride......

Totally agree though.

It's not just those. Clichy is a coward in the big matches. Kompany is great but let's be honest, he is very rash. Constantly jumping out of position and leaving everyone else up shit creek. You are right. The squad has a mentality problem and spunking another £100 million on a bunch of overpriced fairies like Mangala won't change anything.

With FFP looming I doubt we will be spunking another £100 million.
