Which times were these?Only if you ignore all the times he gets his substitutes spot on and them having a huge impact on the game, which seems to have happened a fair bit this season iirc
If you'd read all my post you would have seen that I actually said what you replied to me yourself.Several things here:
1. To cite deBruyne who has been among our most clinical finishers this year coesnt make too much sense.
2. When Fernando missed his header, Kelechi was already on the field. Unless Kelechi has somehow been cloned, we can disregard this instance
3. Fernando's first chance was very early in the game off a corner, when we still had a recognized striker on the field (Bony). So disregard that also.
So that leaves us with the header to Sterling who many here have been advocating to play in a striker role. I don't remember a second Sterling chance.
So your long post kinda misses the point.
Perhaps it's the adjective "stupid" that you are taking exception to. Perhaps naive, or simply incorrect would be better?
Do you think Alan Sugar was stupid with his observation about the iPod? Personally I think he was. At the time he was probably the most expert person in the UK to comment on electronics, but he got it totally wrong. Again, calling him naive or incorrect might be more respectful of a man who no doubt deserves respect in his field, but the truth is he got it totally wrong. Just like Pellegrini on Sunday.
The difference is we can see Sugar was wrong about the iPod we have the evidence. Pellegrini's decisions on Saturday can only be an opinion we can never know would we have won, maybe I think we would, but just maybe we could have lost. Because we'll never know you can't compare it to the iPod. The only judgement of Pellegrini can be at the end of the season if we win the league or not.
That's the same with anything though. Many do come on here and add points. I've done it myself this season, but it's usually a short point about how pleased I've been with x, y and z and then I'll go and watch the goals again or whatever else.Some posters on this thread never have an "opinion" when we have won.
One component but IF at the end of this season his record is two titles in three seasons and one 2nd place then we can be pretty sure he is an expert and not stupid or naive, based off one game or substitution, especially as there is no way of knowing if we would have lost that point and maybe the league if he'd done what we all think he should have done.And even then, the Manager is just one component. Injuries, form of key players, luck all play a big part also. At the end of the day, the best team generally wins the league, but not necessarily the best manager.
There's no such thing as luck.And even then, the Manager is just one component. Injuries, form of key players, luck all play a big part also. At the end of the day, the best team generally wins the league, but not necessarily the best manager.
Naive/incorrect in your opinion. I dont agree. And you havent presented any compelling evidence to support your theory.
