Very difficult to win a league and cup double when you are there for less than 30 games.

As I have said Perez saw mr 75% for what he is. I'm sure we will too

Forgive me for not taking seriously the fact he got sacked by Perez at Real Madrid as fact of him not being good enough.

If you can't see it for yourself mate it's pointless telling you, what they have is a manager who has his squad playing greater than the sum of its parts, pretty much like Klopp yesterday.

there squad isn't a patch on ours-and it's a sad reflection that we are not at least 6-8 points clear of the chasing pack, and I include united in that who by the way are above us in the league through the pragmatism of there manager.

Again, you have gone off on a tangent. I get it your still smarting from yesterday (we all are). My argument was against the claim we have the strongest squad. The reality is once you start to look at who are a second choice players, then the strength quickly falls away.

In your opinion mate but a league and cup double in his first season and the clubs greatest ever win% points to a different story.

He makes mistakes, everyone does but to claim him as an average manager is just not on as his record makes a mockery of such a statement.

he needs to get it right again and fast, lets not make any bones about it and he is more than capable, we have all seen that.

I think we all just have different thresholds before we say enough is enough about any manager. I was quite happy with Pellers' appointment and thrilled to the way we played in that title winning season. But like bacteria adapting to anti-biotics, our opponents began to become resistant. Parked buses and athletic pressing have become de rigeur, and courtesy of the TV cash bonanza, nearly every team has better players than it did two years ago.
Pellegrini's response has been - on far too many occasions now - to stubbornly carry on trying to ram a square peg into a round hole. We've seen that 'Ya Ya in a midfield two' mistake against opposition with 5 and even 6 men in midfield on more big occasions than you can shake a stick at and it has failed almost every single time, with the midfield overrun and the defence pulled all over the place like headless chickens. Even in games which we've won this season (Seville at home, Monchengladbach away and Newcastle at home), we've needed the best one on one shot stopper in the business to prevent us from being 3-0 down.
I admire your faith that MP will carry the day, but I for one think we're heading for another season of self inflicted disappointment. Yesterday's ineptitude was almost comical

Yes, injuries can't even be used as an excuse as our main challengers are having it bad in that area too.

So your happy with Willy as are only back up keeper, MDM & The Mangler in defence, Clichy and or Kolorov (take your pick) , etc etc. If we have such a strong squad, why are all these players getting shit on here today and nearly every other day? Gen question btw

Edit: We have the strongest first team when all are fit, but our strength in depth is very limited IMO

I agree but as i alluded to earlier, he could win all 4 pots this year and make history but still be gone come the summer if the stars align and its that waiting for a certain individual that is not helping him, the team or us as fans right now imo.

It doesn't seem to be bothering the Bayern Munich players!
