Discussion: Manuel Pellegrini 2015/16

[Paulmcfc2703]

Well I don't think saying" yes it was that players fault" or " I wouldn't play him or him next time" is the answer either. Players are expensive and may be sold in the future so to put them down is stupid and would decrease their value.

So how does saying a 19 year old striker in his opinion isn't a striker fit into this category?

If all the players play badly, it's probably the manager

I'm not a Pelligrini 'outer' at all but he's making it very difficult for himself if he wants to stay

Would you agree if all the players play well its the manager?

 

[Steve68]

I don't know but he makes the same mistakes over and over again

Quite. And then does nothing to correct them when it's blindingly obvious when and why things are going horribly wrong.

We know we can't win all the time but that match just crystallised Pels weakness in one horrible nightmare.

Win as a team or lose as a team,the manager is included,to load it all on the players when he set it up wrong is not very cool

Yes, that's the idea of a manager. His job is to get the players he has playing well. Like he did in Seville, but unfortunately for him, and us, he doesn't do it often enough

Reading between the lines I'd say he was saying he's more than just a striker. What you think?

Even a Michelin-starred chef needs to have the right ingredients to prepare the meal he needs to?

Sure, someone with such culinary talent might still be able to wing it and concoct something palatable.

But if he needed to make a soufflé and began at the outset with a tin of fucking Fray Bentos (steak and kidney, mind you) he would be on to a loser from the start.

That's what Pellegrini achieved prior and up to half-time, a dog's dinner of transport cafe quality.

Not far off £300 million worth off fray bentos on show.

There is only one question that needs to be asked.

We want to be in the top 5 clubs in the world. The two Spanish clubs, us and whoever.

It makes sense then to have a quality side managed by a top 5 coach. Just look where Madrid are now. They sacked a top 5 coach and replaced him with a top 20 coach. Result? Dip in performance.

Is Pellegrini one of the best 5 coaches in world football? Obviously he isn't and as such needs to be removed as soon as is feasibly possible.

What was the team talk?

Right so when we lose Bony against Villa he has him sit on the bench for 60 mins. I think he was having yet another senior moment
