Discussion: Manuel Pellegrini 2015/16

I saw that film fairly recently - the lass in it puts on the most appalling English accent you've ever heard !!

Forest Whittaker in 'The Crying Game' ?

the fact that the fans booed "him" off at half time speaks volumes

 

[The blue phantom]

Been saying for some time that our "mythical" strong squad is just that but had some pelters for posting such nonsesnse. I think hoddle was spot on when he said if City lose the spine of the team, then we are just an average team.

Thats some average team today, not far off £300 million

Khaldhoon needs to fuck him off asap!! Atrocious management of the squad this year and our injuries have been all muscle types nearly. Coincidence? I think not

His fault the muscle injuries?

Pellegrini is a busted flush. One good season with Mancini's squad who clearly downed tools the season before. Since then, we had a disaster last year when we didn't challenge on any front and this season is developing into another disaster. Tactically inept, blind spot with his 'favoured' players, no defensive nouse and significantly underachieving. On top of that he has the nerve to say that we lost today because we were tired. He has to go now in my opinion.

Interesting stat:

2009 (the week before Hughes got sacked) Our league record: Played 15, Lost 1, Points 26
2015 (this week) Our league record: Played 15, Lost 4, Points 29

Doesn't give a fair reflection given Leslie drew 8 games back to back.

The original clueless one.

I didnt like his post match comments of only having 13 players to pick from given the size and quality of our academy.

Sue they may not be ready to play consistently or even win us games but they can play and to start crying about having no fit players is ridiculous given our resources and says everything about his feelings to those players.

Last season it was FFP this injuries.....

It is all bullshit. If he was really worried about fatigue he'd have started Delph and Nacho because the two of them have barely played. Never mind the fact that they're both better than the guys who started ahead of them...

We are just an average team at the moment but we shouldn't be. That's the problem. The players aren't average (on the whole) but the manager can't get them playing to the best of their ability as a team.

No but I would expect to see some green shoots of recovery soon. Even a cohesive performance would be encouraging.
