Discussion: Manuel Pellegrini 2015/16

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

He won it with Mancini's squad.

This.

I can't wait for him to leave. I don't even care if we don't get Pep.

The only thing he's engineering is another mediocre season.

Thanks to the squad and habits developed and embedded by his predecessor a slip by Gerard and no serious competition

You do remember the football under Bob yes?

The bad runs?

The goals drying up?

The slip ups against crap opposition?

Wigan?

Munich/Tevez gate?

The constant bad news stories of dressing room bust ups?

Despite it being the most fantastic moment in any of our lives as a City fan, nearly fucking choking against QPR as well?

I dont want to make this about Bob v Pellegrini as both where fantastic managers but the constant belittling of any of Pellegrini's achievements as being down to Bob are frankly so fucking ridiculous its laughable.

Bob didn't leave us with a winning side, he left us with a losing side and Manuel changed that in the same way Bob did post Hughes.

That was frustrating but at least we bossed the game especially in the second half and Hart didn't have to make a save of note throughout the game.

Dropping more points especially at home is the frustrating part irrespective of what Spurs and Arsenal do.

Looks like Leicester are not going away either , apparently our NDJ may be joining them.

Great post.

Looks like you were spot on fella.......... Where were you when I needed you on Saturday with the winning lottery numbers!! :-)

If the lottery was as predictable as Pellegrini we'd all be millionaires!

Our midfield got the runaround in the first half, but in fairness I thought we played well for most of the second half.

Can't get my head around why he didn't bring Kelechi and Delph on when we were desperate for a goal and legs in midfield.

He was right to hook De Bruyne for Silva, but personally I'd have done it at half time.

Personally I think the term fantastic and great etc are too easily used.

MP and RM are good managers not great managers.

Maybe I set too high standards but dare I say it Fergy was a great manager , I don't even think despite 3 titles in twenty years in charge of Arsenal that Wenger is a great manager but I put him ahead of both RM and MP.

We built up momentum, then he subbed KDB for Silva and it stopped almost immediately.
People can blame injuries, bad luck etc. but the points return over 21 games is poor.

Leicester have suffered injuries lately and have managed to increase the gap to us over that period. Nice man, average Manager.

Agree but i will quantify my post by saying they have both been fantastic for us as a club at a time when we needed them to do exactly what they did.

Pep is the next level and i for one cant wait.

Yes, we all remember but he still managed to get 78 points that season and was rightly sacked. Pellegrini's current projection is 72..........

He too is getting sacked.

You know it, i know it, the whole world knows it but it seems some on here cant just get behind him and the side for the rest of the season and see how it pans out.

If he goes with winning fuck all this season call him a corpse and a **** by all means as no fucker will care anyway but if he does manage to win us the league and maybe a cup, his 3 years at the club with go down as 3 of the greatest ever and some onhere will be mopping the egg off their faces for months after.
