Discussion: Manuel Pellegrini 2015/16

Glad to see he dropped a few of our 'star' players today, given them a rest and hopefully shown that they can be dropped if needed. Gave Kelechi some much needed minutes. Maybe there is life in the old dog yet?

still feel he has this weird reservation about giving youth a chance. 2-0 up and cruising yet brings on another left back

Well done manuel today it seems the players picked were all in the position that suits, a major light bulb moment for him no doubt, looking forward to seeing sterling and navas wide for the rest of the season

We saw in the first 4/5 games of the season an Sevilla away how dangerous having Sterling and Navas on the wings wer and I don't know why we haven't seen it more.

Cos Clichy is getting back to fitness and needs games or would you prefer Kolsrov to play every week?

He's got a big decision to make about KDB. In the main we look more fluent with Sterling/Navas and have done all season.

Yep , said at the time we signed him that I didn't see how he fits in the side unless played as a number 10

He hasn't the work rate or defensive discipline to play out wide , especially away from home . And he hadn't got the pace to stretch teams

Will be interesting in the summer ...

Funny how nobody is complaining about 442! Would love to see Biny and Nacho next time Kun is injured instead of Bony on his own

Was it 442? Funny because Manuel said that Nacho's a No 10 not a striker and KDB isn't a striker either...... According to Manuel that is.

 

[Dribble]

Actually this is incorrect and we have plenty of people on this forum and in the fanbase at large who believe 4-4-2 is an inherently inferior formation that smacks of Mike Bassett, flat caps and glam rock

Well it does when you play it against Barca with Milner and Fernando as your midfield two.

And why do you think he brought an important player on who is desperately needing match fitness/game time?

If we win stuff this season it will be in spite of Pellegrini not because.

Like we did last time?
