I hope he doesn't blame himself on TV - that would be the last straw really.
He should just disappear from sight and sound until Juve.

Christ.

It's not that difficult to figure out Manuel.

He also said he would start the same 11 again.

I think that is fucking incredible. Before a ball was kicked that line up told me everything I needed to know about the game would be. If I can see that, and everybody else in the stadium can, then why can't he? He did acknowledge it with the changes but the game was lost. After 10 mins and their first those changes should have been made. I think that is negligent management on his behalf and should be looked into.

You are not offering anything to the discussion on the 20 threads you have been on,makes me wonder what your motives are

Okay sorry if I have not made it clear. I posted before today's game even started and before the team was announced saying Pellers needed to step up and put out the right team. His record in big games is not good. As others have said it was no surprise that we saw the same mistakes. He needs to be replaced with a top tier manager. How much have Leicester spent? Some posters laugh at the rags and that they are not good enough to win it. They weren't the last time they won it. He should have gone at the end of last season. Now Liverpool have a far superior coach whilst we wait for the holy grail of Guardiola who we are told may never come and may go to the rags. So where does that leave us? The writing as been on the wall many times this season and the results will continue to happen. If he hasn't lost the dressing room already blaming the players tonight will help towards that. Hart was totally hacked off with the tactics as are a few other players. His comment about playing the same side again even though he changed it half time is laughable.

Problem isn't just with Pellers.

There are players also not up to standard either technically or mentally.

Mainly technically I'd say. Compare Kolarov and Sagna to Clyne and Moreno (not saying they're world beaters). Technically the Liverpool full backs are better than ours, they're more comfortable passing it with a high tempo. Look at Bayern, they've got 11 men who have an amazing first touch and a high intelligence of the game. We've got about 4/5 players that can play that way.

50,000 of us worked it out after 15 minutes, Manuel.

Not only this, and not only would I blame our awful, second/third tier manager for today, I would blame Kompany
The man people call our 'leader', and the guy who nobody would ever criticise..
He may be our #1 defender, but he's never available for more than 1 third of the season
He needs to realise who pays his wages and ensure he isn't so self obsessed in being the Hero and saviour of belgium, when not fit, and start focussing on what is happening 49 weeks of the year.. City..

Its embarrassing

I said it when he fucked off to play for Belgium the last time, his ego needs bursting. He just couldn't stand not be be involved in the Belgian qualification celebrations at our expense. Don't forget he had the same argument with Mancini back in 2012 as he's had with Pellegrini in 2015.

Some things never change...........

What exactly are Pellegrini's tactics? What is the common thread that runs through his management career? Is he known for solid defending? Counter attacking? Pressing? I'm really not sure what his qualities are as a manager.
