Discussion: Manuel Pellegrini 2015/16

[old blue eyes]

Yes, he should have gone in the summer and i only know 2 blues who wanted him to stay this season and after Saturday they both want him gone now

 

[Dax777]

No.

 

[Ban-jani]

If we know we can get Pep then do it in the summer.

If they're not confident of that then get rid of Pellers now and bring in Ancelotti.

Oh Fuck off Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Also, can you please quote me where I've ever said I wouldn't continue to support Manuel? I'll be getting on with my evening whilst you search. Just gimme a nudge if you find it. Ta in advance.

Sorry to disappoint Drivvle (hope you don't mind me calling you that but it is more appropriate for your username) but you but you only have to read my earlier posts.

Supporting Pellers versus not wanting to see him go are obviously above your thinking. You crack on trying to make yourself look funny, but I'll give you a freebie, your kidding nobody. Now toodlepip

So in short, you can't find one quote where I've said Manuel doesn't have my support? Figures, you know what they say about empty vessels and all that.

One word of advice our kid, engage your brain before you let rip with your fingers on your keyboard. You'll stop yourself from making silly unfounded accusations and not being able to back them up............. Again! :-)

It was on reflection and apologies to @Neville Kneville.

I was out of line.

No problem, cheers.

Perhaps we'll communicate again in the future when you have a better understanding. Until then.

Toodle pip "our kid"

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Out out out please he's making us a laughing stock!

 

[cookster]

Apparently we don't have a defensive crisis and can cope without Kompany.
What next, Bony is better than Kelechi.....

Keegan had more tactically nous.

Managing independent like he did at Malaga he will be a decent manager somewhere. I think he offers us stability and clearly talks the talk as far as the club want, and also must have listened or been told in the closed season that playing 4-4-2 wasn't working because we have changed our shape this season.

It's hard. It genuinely is. Getting the first team to carry out what we want to the letter, remember we have some big names, will take a lot of a certain kind of motivation and tactical awareness.

Pep Guardiola is the answer. He understands Txiki and Ferran better than anybody, and the type of football he plays is exactly what the 'brand' was always intended to be.

I think that's Pellegrini's problem, expecting the players to carry out his plan perfectly & keeping doing it over & over until they eventually get it right, except they won't & neither will his new signings. We say he has changed, but if you look at a typical City game, we have two wide pkayers who drift about, two centre mids, one or both of whom go forward a lot, a striker & a player behind the striker. We call it 4231 because the player behind the striker is usually DeBruyne or Silva but if you go back a year, Dzeko or Aguero would be taking up many of the same positions & like Silva & DeBruyne (& Aguero) neither pressing nor tracking back with any conviction. Imo the biggest change is that it's a 'midfielder' rather than a 'striker' in that position so we call it 4231, but we could just as easily call it 4222 when you see the positions taken up & the lack of consistent tracking back, which of course Pellegrini has always used at City & is a tried & proven failure v the top teams, for both him & Mancini.

V Stoke & Liverpool we effectively had 4 attackers & 2 in midfield, with a slow defence. Same ol.

Guardiola will have 3 plus two fullbacks in there & the front 3 pressing like fuck.
