Discuss Pellegrini...

[Kevindxb]

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.

Exactly my thought. Thank you.
I thought people on the forum had more hunger to win then Pelle. Dont mind the loss, but not like this. Players will get complacent, Manager's job is to spot and correct that, not join them from the bench.

You must post some fucking shit if you thought that was bad. That was like reading a post from some scouse hating OOT'er on redcafe.

P.S It's City not city

I trusted Pellegrini 100 procent in the beginning but now I understand why he never could win a league... shit!

GMR post match phone in....Stuart from Edenfield got it spot on....Mentally fragile.

THIS

Cant wait to read the same old excuses on here from the Pellegrini lovers

 

[Kazzydeyna]

People shouldn't worry .......... at least pellers will say hello to the tea lady in the morning and he won't shout at the players.

The truth is our players are mentally weak and pellers is a yes man. When the players took on Mancini and won things were always going to get tough.

100% agree.

And for that you can blame ferran and txiki.

But be quick, they'll be off back to Spain very soon.

The utter cunts.

Roberto Martinez is the person we should look to.

.

and he did well tonight didnt he

He's managing Everton; I've seen people on Grand Designs with a bigger budget than him.

He didn't do too bad against Mancini in the FA Cup final though did he, where he outclassed him from start to finish?

 

[welsh_andy]

you cant have just a plan A, you need b,c,d etc i love mp style of football, but sometimes a team finds you out and you need to change,
tbh i hope hes still here come august, clear out the crap and bring in some new hungrier players

I said the same in the post match thread, that 3rd at Anfield cost us more than just three points, we were running on empty tonight and looked mentally fucked.

It was a sad indictment of our squad and tactics that Sunderland completely outplayed us in the first half. The way that they waltzed through us was embarrassing, I actually had to count the number of players they had on the pitch just to convince myself it was 11 v 11 as it seemed like they had 2 extra men, plus Atkinson.
