He's just telling it how it is
We needed to beat Hull. had we played a weakened team, and got beat, we'd have been in a worse position.
If you are going to compete in 4 competitions, you need a full squad or something approaching it. Is it Pellegrini's fault that have lost Aguero, Silva, Kompany for major parts of this season plus many others. Zabaleta, Mangala, Clichy, Bony, Nasri, Toure. The list is ridiculous. That is bound to take its toll
You just can't lose that number of players and not see a serious impact on results
And when the players were available we were winning every week. You have to conclude that injuries are responsible in a very large part to dip in form
Agree completely. MP is trying to rotate the players to avoid further injuries. I am fairly sure Delph didn't start today, because he will be starting against Gladbach. Just returning from 2 serious injuries, it would be a big risk playing him 3 full games in 7 days.
