Won the league cup, scored lots of goals, players seem happier. We can't win the league every year.
Next season he has to be better prepered for going away to the smaller teams. I hope he never starts Negredo and Dzeko together again.

One of the major drawbacks with employing a yes man is that you end up with a yes man. Give me a nasty winner anyday.

I know I post a lot of shit. However, this is not a knee jerk reaction. I'm very calm right now. We have bought very badly. We have the highest wage bill in world sport.
I wanted Mancini gone. However, it is now conclusive that Pellegrini is no tactician. All he does is play the same style of football every week. No plan B. No plan to stop the opposition. Just sheer arrogance that we can be mini-Barcelona, let me tell you we are a shell of Barcelona. Why? Because Iniesta and Xavi actually give a shit about their club. He stands there like a plank of wood regardless of the result. Never changes the formation, just the personnel.
We turn up week in week out like we are fucking drunk. Our players look shocked that a game of football is happening. No pressing. No aggression. No passion.
Hart is NO WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS SOME THINK. I've never seen a keeper get beat at his near post so many times.
It's just funny. Seriously. Money can't buy passion because that is why teams like Wigan and Sunderland embarrass us time and time again. Because they want it more. After 4 years and 2 managers we still can't beat Sunderland and Stoke away. We seem to never learn our lesson.
I'm actually embarrassed to be a city fan tonight. The balance of the team is not right. We have way to many stars and not enough 'glue' players. Cahill, Terry, Azpic etc. Chelsea have a bedrock of solid performers. Aside from Fernandinho and Zaba all of our players have a howler in them. Even Liverpool have Henderson etc. Hard workers. We have a load of lazy fuckers robbing us blind.
Soriano promised that we would have a director of football approach and that the first team coach would be cycled every 2 seasons or so. Fuck managerial stability. This isn't 1980 any more. Sack him and hope Madrid sack Ancelotti at the end of the season.

I think he has lovely hair, Gordon.
I worry that he's Chile's answer to Kevin Keegan, ie nice guy who will never win the top prizes. Plus I've not seen any great tactical change from Mancini as we have increasingly reverted to a slow build up.
However I do think we have been unlucky with injuries. Aguero (still not fit) has missed a third of the season, Kompany missed many games and now right at the end of the season Ya Ya and Silva are not fit. Yes you can say we have spent a lot of money but any team would miss these players.

I don't care what anyone says we've been better this year than last and won a cup. You can't just ignore the fact we've only had all our main players fit for about 3 games all year.
One thing I can't forgive him for though was our disgraceful exit from the FA cup, he dressed as if he couldnt be assed in a fucking hoodie and the players played as if they could just turn up and win.
I'd give him another year to prove his credentials but so far he has seemed rather tactically naive with the way he just picks the same formation for every game (up until injuries recently forced him to do otherwise).

Lost all faith in him after hoodygate... I reckon he was wearing "The Hoody" tonight under the jacket, and what's with the Wenger style jacket...I think he wants to be the new Arsene in more ways than one
Why not just buy up the Southampton team. Add Kompany, Silva, Toure and Aguero. ... maybe Joe Hart. Job done!Kun Aguero said:jimharri said:Er; up to the trip to WHL, possibly. Since then?

An awful lot to agree with there regarding our players.
