Discussion: Manuel Pellegrini 2015/16

I only ask as you defend him as if you might be.

Or he is a City fan defending a City manager with our beat ever record?

Strange behaviour I know.

No defending him for yesterday - got the team selection wrong, and he definitely carries the brunt of the blame. Even if you accept that he perhaps felt that Fernandinho wasn't ready, he should never have played Yaya and Fernando on their own together - a disaster waiting to happen.

But he wasn't solely responsible, not by any stretch. Plenty of pathetic errors made by individuals that had nothing to do with systems, formations, 'being exposed' or anything else. And the lack of balls shown collectively in the face of a side willing to press us was embarrassing, if predictable.

He's a loser. We're not going anywhere as a club until we get an elite manager.

Finest records in world football with us?

How many managers have won a league and cup double in their first ever season in England?

Check his win% out in his time with us

Look at the amount of goals we have scored and despite being led to believe this season is dead and buried reading some of the posts on here it's not.

His record is excellent and to suggest otherwise is ridiculous imo.

Interesting point. Makes you wonder why Spurs sacked Sherwood

Mancini? He's a second rate manager. We will be back to humiliation in the group stages when some Dutch outfit stomps us.

Yeah I guess he did not get the easy groups.

I bet that Vinny from where he was sat in the stands could see exactly what was going on and hopefully he will have a say in the next week about that (which is as it should be). However even with him playing yesterday we would have been in trouble due to the appalling set up of the midfield and it is only because of Vinnies superior athleticism and reading of the game that we get away with it at times.

Hart could certainly see it as he was going mental at the team infant of him

It was apparent from the first 30 seconds of the game and predictable when the teams were announced.

Im not sure how MP prepared for this game but he certainly did not take the opposition into account and to then come out and say he would pick the same team again is just absurd and beyond a joke - why would you do something again that you have just seen fail horrendously????? He is blaming the players and yes there were individual mistakes but they were down to the pressure that the managers system put them under. MP is COMPLETELY to blame for yesterday and it is happening all too often...we have got away with it numerous times and even in games where we are winning other sides are creating chances far far too easily. (and this has been the case pretty much since day one)

For me he gets the rest of the season but that is it....i want him gone. Im not going to lie Ive struggles to take to his way of playing as i believe with the squad he has that if he adapted to their strengths and adapted to the opposition infant of him then we would be much more effective.......For me i like to win games but i like to do it with balance...with MP its all guns blazing which sometimes leads to going down in flames and that ultimately to me at least is wrong with the players he has at his disposal.Yaya gets a lot of the blame BUT it is MP that is hanging him out to dry wth the formations and set up.

This all day long.

Good point it must have been the silverware bit

 

[The blue phantom]

Your spinning my post. Read it again. On paper we have a great squad, the reality is we dont

And there we have it, now the squad not being as good as some posters think

Let me just tell you mate, if this team doesn't bag the title or at least run it to the last game or two it would be an epic fuck up, only a CL final would stop it being 10 times as bad as last season with the money the sheikh has shelled out.

Did you catch yesterday's debacle? Did it look familiar to other debacles?
That's the problem - he keeps reverting to the same mistakes.
