Discussion: Manuel Pellegrini 2015/16

That's not the point

It was stated that the Guardiola speculations isn't doing the player, fans etc any favours so I pointed out that it doesn't seem to be bothering the BM players - the fact we stuck 7past Norwich 2yrs ago has nothing to do with it whatsoever

And everyone knew Heynkes was leaving but they won the treble.

It is hugely frustrating because he really is not a one trick pony but he is stubborn to a fault. I just hope that he does not let that stubborness get in the way of us winning the league. He may not need to change his approach to win the league but he needs to judge that carefully.

If his approach has put us in third with tough away games to come he needs to change it.

Nice to see all the pellers apologists back though add Ray 78 to you blue unsay and mosside blue and it's a full house

Totally agree about Silva, in front of the ferns mind!

The results with Fernando in a two are absolutely dreadful.

Two league games it happened this season are Spurs away and Liverpool at home.

They were crap last season as well until the manager saw sense and put Fernandinho back in.

I'd like to see what Silva could do with Dinho and Delph behind him.

Plenty of energy there, Delph looked decent when he came on, Silva will be devastating deeper.

Apologists?

Dont see anybody trying to deflect blame from him after that debacle but if it makes you feel better...

Manuel Pellegrini post match interview:
“I am more than angry, it is difficult to understand why we played so poorly,” the City manager said. “In defence, in attack and in possession I have never seen my team play in the way they played tonight. It was not one name or another name who was to blame it was the whole team. I was not happy with the performance of all 11 players. It was a complete disaster.”

Well ManueI, I don't know a single City fan you thought we wouldn't struggle with your initial team selection. YaYa doesn't track back or defend remotely well. MDM is now a bit on the slow side. Mangala needs to play along side a quality centre half. Fernando was guaranteed to be in a 1 v 3 situation and he doesn't pass the ball forwards so when he is the only one defending in front of the two centre halves, where is the ball going to be passed too?
Of more importance why did you simply watch the train crash for 40 minutes before doing something about it? Frankly I'm more angry about your ineptitude than the team performance.

Couldn't care less about the CL, it's the league I want us to win year in year out.
Wonder what everyone else's preference is, league or CL?

Unfortunately for you, the club probably don't give a shit what you'd prefer. CL is better for "growing the brand".

I'd have the league over CL every year too, but we matter little.

I see. However there is the point that the Budesliga doesn't have the same tv money as the pl so is far less competitive and seeing as Bayern are the ones with pots of money spent compared to the other teams they are bound to be doing a lot better. You also pointed out you can't see us scoring 5 anytime soon but we scored 5 & 6 a few weeks ago.

People on here just can't bear not to polarise views.
