Pay Simeone whatever he wants. Pellegrini isn't up to it.
1) We're wide open at the back way too often in critical games. 5 goals leaked in 2 games we needed to win.
2) We crumble under pressure. Sitting back, relaxing after a goal, that's a habit that the next manager needs to break.
3) Underestimating lesser opponents. Wigan, Villa, Sunderland twice. Dropping points like that when we've spent 100m in the summer is embarrassing.
Not just Pellegrini, a few players too. Hart gets beat at his near post again. Nasri is a half-season player, anonymous most of that game. Same old Dzeko. Milner is so average. Garcia isn't much use. The players I just mentioned earn roughly 500k/week. It's absurd, we have so much fat in this squad.
We have the best squad in the league and drop 5 points to Sunderland, the worst in the league. Inexcusable. Enough is enough.
