Like the Spurs defeat, 4-1 to Pellegrini.

We have the best team and squad in the league but a manager who is barely in the top 6 managers

If we don't win the title this season with Chelsea out of the picture it will be all his fault.

We won the title in 13/14 in spite of him but with Yaya now getting on I see no reason why we'll do it again. Certainly not as confident about it as back then and I should be given the state of the competition.

I wanted him gone in the summer but I guess we had to keep him to get Pep. It will be a disaster if he ends up elsewhere now.
 
He used to do it with the 4-4-2...

He always makes the same mistakes, it's like he thinks the situation will fix itself after a few weeks.
 
Poor today, all too predictable how things panned out. Far too often we get outworked and it's not just been under this manager. After what we did to Sevilla you'd hope we'd have learned how effective it is to play at that tempo and force the game to be in the other teams half, but we've gone straight back to letting teams outwork us and give us the runaround. Far too similar to the Spurs second half.

Demichelis really shouldn't be playing in games of this intensity, he gets completely overwhelmed and can't handle the spaces that inevitably appear, while anyone who's watched us in the past 5 years could tell you that Yaya cannot handle playing in a two against a high intensity team. Lessons just aren't being learned while certain players are clearly unsuitable for certain games. Pellers cannot be held responsible for Sagna and Mangala looking mentally off the pace, but there are things that he really should have been able to prevent.

Do we? Or have the English media overplayed how good it is so that when we win the league they can diminish it by saying "they should be winning it, they have the best squad."

We have 2 world class players. David Silva and Sergio Aguero.

The rest are not as great as we have been lead to believe.
 
Main problem is of the ball we are fucking relegation fodder and it's been like that for a few years! KDB Navas and Delph when he came on were the only ones working hard off the ball.

Was painful and predictable in many respects. Not been this furious with a manager since my peak Mancini fumes. Needs a huge performance in Turin just to save a bit of face because the stench from tonight will live long in the memory.

It's utterly incredible a team can vacillate to such extremes.

Also. I love Toure for everything he's done but he cannot stay beyond this season.
