He does have a point though.....

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says the "complete team" must take responsibility for the 2-0 defeat at Stoke but points out his team are challenging in four competitions with only 13 players.

Completely agree about the over reaction as always to him again and the fact we are still in all 4 competitions means sacking him now is frankly ridiculous but his comments of ony having 13 players given our resources, academy and the players coming through the EDS is shocking from him and if i was an EDS player or even Mansour who has invested and built the academy id be fucked off with him.

"We always play attacking football, we try to keep the ball, we play with a high defensive line and we apply pressure to recover the ball."
"These are very simple things that all our teams do and, hopefully, you see our teams in Melbourne and Manchester play and you will see the same kind of football," he added.

"This doesn't mean we'll win.

The bit in bold, we do a very poor job of this.

Pisses me off that he makes the same mistakes repeatedly with team selection. We couldn't afford to be carrying players away at Stoke. We needed the points so play the best team ffs. Was he resting Delph or does he seriously think he is worse than Fernando?!! I can understand why he picked Demichelis but we needed to be at our strongest defensively so Clichy and Delph had to start. And yet again he waited too long before making changes and made the wrong ones when he did. Lots of apparently small mistakes all combining to result in one big fuck up.

I wouldn't have seen the point sacking after OT last season,but 100% should have been given his marching orders come seasons end. A bad decision then looks absolutely terrible now. To not sack him will kill our chances of a top 4 finish this season.

We got absolutely fucking battered bar 9 minutes by our rivals. And Manuel looked like a flump sat in a heatwave on the touch line. He did fuck all to stop it, his tactics were garbage and his passion was as subdued as the 94th minute on the Stretford end 23/10/11.

That match told a tale we should have heeded and accepted. He's not got the nous or discipline when we come to majority of the big boys now and it's the same now. If we shouldn't have sacked him then, it should have been a final nail hammered into the coffin and we should have at least assessed our options with some intent.

Thanks malg, first time I've had a proper chuckle since the final whistle.

True.

Damning indictment on Pellegrini, no doubt.

Hughes also had us in the relegation zone at this time of year in his first season.

This is the same guy that outdid us today with an inferior hardworking side.

Same old shit.

Hughes was dreadful for us. The fact Pellegrini is doing no better with an extra 400m worth of players is pretty alarming.

Not his fault of course, he's only got 13 players and "doesn't understand" the performances.

Hahaha! Quality!

No! It was his choice to use those players against Hull, he could have brought in 1 or 2 EDS players but he didn't. The League Cup would be nice to win but its not as important as the league so this excuse just doesn't wash.

My slant is we dont have a great squad and I stick by that.

Its good enough if the better players stay fit for long enough to challenge for the title.

Its also very possible that this season we might miss out on a top four finish.

Having MP in charge makes us perform on average no matter who is available worse than we should.

Has to go,
