Discussion: Manuel Pellegrini 2015/16

[cleavers]

First half? Surely your not saying we were the better side and Newcastle didn't deserve at least a 2 goal lead?

No we weren't the better side, but by half time being level was about right, we had several very good chances we didn't take, a couple early on, and several in the last 10 minutes, so no they "didn't deserve at least a 2 goal lead". Newcastle played very well for 30 minutes, but didn't take their chances, and if we'd both taken our chances, it might have been 3-3 at ht (the great save by Hart was offside (though not given)).

The second half was one way traffic for 20 brilliant minutes, the rest of the half largely nondescript, as Newcastle went into damage limitation mode, and we went into training session mode.

MP got most things right today, my gripe is changing 2 defenders again, when only one was enforced really, but that apart he did the right things for me.

Peace blue we won 6-1, I've only ever been stating my opinion. I've enjoyed my evening I hope you have too.

Second half Silva was in the middle, De Bruyner was out left and Navas out right, I do have bad geggs though.

Great win, an important win, and hopefully the International break will get Vinnie somewhere near to a return to the first team.

Only my opinion, nothing more nothing less.

Why did Newcastle deserve to be 2 up is that because the pundits said so, Joe Hart did his job as a keeper should as did Krul or are you going to ignore our missed chances

I'll hold back on lavishing him with praise for now.

Sterling limped off, so that change was probably forced. And he'll be back with Sterling on the left and De bruyne on the right in our next game(fitness permitting).

This win is entirely down to the players..Namely Aguero, Silva and De Bruyne.

When was the last time he got it right from the start?

We feel your pain lol.

This place

"Clappers"= We lose it's down to the players, we win it's the manager.
Or
"Flappers" = We win it's down to the players, we lose it's the manager.

Bit of both I think.

Tbf imo and pretty much everone's around me yesterday thought we did well to get to half time level, i am struggling to remember the 6 or 7 very good chances we had in the first half like a few on here have said
Credit to Pellegrini though for turning it round.

I agree but a bit of common sense is needed by some, I was still a little worried at half time as Newcastle were playing decent 20 minutes later I wasn't

You are struggling to remember them because they didn't happen. The best chance was from the rebound of De bruyne's free kick. Other than that, Aguero had a shot from outside the box that missed and a few other bits and bobs but I don't remember Krul making any other saves. We were poor first half.

Sorry Mr Ed, no such thing as "deserve" in football...you either score your attempts or you don't, you either defend your goal,or you don't...that's about it really fella.
