Discussion: Manuel Pellegrini 2015/16

Haha. Love it.

Don't get me wrong. I do not like to lose, but there has to be a sense of perspective. I wonder what this site would be like if we were in Chelsea's shoes.

Oh please, don't go there........................... Ric & the mods would be having kittens trying to keep it from crashing every 5 minutes as the site melted down........ ;-)

Instead of posting stuff like this why don't you actually read what people are posting & comment on that instead ? What's wrong with actually responding to the questions being asked rather than making stuff up ?

How many people have suggested that Roberts & Humphries start instead of Sterling & Demichelis ? Can you find one in the whole thread ? How many are even talking about kids starting at all ? Many ?

Why can't people respond to what is actually being said, rather than making up stuff in order to belittle people's opinions ?

To be fair, there are a ton of people blasting Pellers youth policy. Not give the opportunity etc.

I am one of them.

Read what they are posting rather than assuming.

Silva should not have started yesterday. But yet again the manager got it wrong.
As for mistakes, they will always happens. But a decent manager learns from his mistakes.

It bugs me like mad that those who would like some decent youth integration are then accused of wanting nowt but youth and that they would start Humphreys over Demichelis and Roberts over Navas every week, as if we're that unreasonable - yet we've never said anything like that. They literally ignore all points and just revert to nonsense like that. I've said it a thousand times before. If teams like Newcastle, Villa or whatever can take points off us despite starting one of their academy kids, an academy kid that has played against our academy kids in youth football and been comprehensively outplayed, then why should we all of a sudden lose if we include one of our kids for thirty minutes?

I'd like to understand the reasoning behind that. Our youth palyers are proven better than the vast majority in the country given their performances in cups, and leagues etc at youth level, yet they're deemed more likely to cause us problems, despite other lesser clubs often using one or two of their own? So we really can't afford to have one promising player amongst ten top class seniors for half hour? Yet a lower club can start one probably lesser promising player amongst ten slightly less top class seniors...and therefore we will lose? It doesn't make sense logically.

Use people like Evans, Bryan, whatever, to relax the strain on Fernandinho, Yaya when we can. Sagna's played every game in Zaba's absence, and he's knackered, clearly. Give Maffeo a go for ONE game against lesser opposition from the bench just to relax the strain on him. Yet we don't, and our players will get injured and instead we get ridiculous quotes from Pellegrini saying we have only 13 players, completely and utterly retardedly dismissing our youth players as promising players. Proper kick in the teeth. He should be saying 'we have 13 fit senior players, but we have promising youth players i have a lot of faith in'...yet he pretends they don't exist. How is that good management? It isn't. It's awful.

Another good post, sadly Manuel doesn't see it like that , a here and now manager with no regard for the club he works for.

Looks as though Monk is on the brink at Swansea.
If we move quickly we could have him in as caretaker manager by Saturday to face........Swansea.

"Inners" and "Outers" factions anyone?

Haha. Love it. It is unbelievable how entitled this site has become. It feels like there is an expectation that we should win every game and score 15 goals while doing it. It is football, that is not realistic. Look at Pool today. They were flying and the barcodes have been horrible. It seems most cannot see the forest for the trees. We are well positioned in spite of our injury problems.

Don't get me wrong. I do not like to lose, but there has to be a sense of perspective. I wonder what this site would be like if we were in Chelsea's shoes.

I half agree, and I'm hesitant to use the red lot down the road (or down the M62) as an example, but it's necessary...
I don't want to emulate Chelsea with a few impressive titles here and there. I want City to become a true giant, firstly domestically, and then perhaps in Europe. For that to happen, we have to have to have the brutal mentality that the great Liverpool and United sides once had. That means taking every defeat very badly and bouncing back aggressively to reassert our dominance.

Of course I understand we can't win every game, but I don't want us to 'accept' it lightly. I should hurt. It should be a rare thing, and it should cause us to grow. Instead, we shrug our shoulders far too often.

I'm in the 'wait and see what we achieve in May' camp, so I thought this thread was a bit premature. However I've just been on Twitter and people are already slagging off the new EDS manager who hasn't even took over yet, so maybe this isn't too bad.

i think some are missing the point here...By now we should be miles clear,the games we have not shown up in could and should have been 3 points or as yesterday a draw(or a dignified loss of which we can stomach), and above all, show some fking bolox..if the said games were won then he can blood the young players and give much needed rest to the players that desperately need it..instead we are fking scratchin' about with a manager that is and will continue to TAKE US BACKWARDS..whoever gave the green light for the overpaid mediocre players that have been signed should be looking over there shoulder to say the very least,be it the Barca boys, MP or who the fuk ever..also and above all, MP appears totally devoid of answers, heart and some bolox, inho he has zero power over those players, well certain ones anyway and when the young players see this then as a consequence there is absolutely no future at our club for this man.
