Absolutely clueless. We have been dodgy defensively for 2 years and he has done nothing to fix it!!
 
Here come the....

is it pellergrini or txixi fault? We either keep playing the wrong system or the players ain't good enough to play it but something is wrong. Pre season or not we don't look for or organised and that's what preseason is about primarily, results aren't mega important but I still think winning is a habit and getting dicked 4-0 of anyone is never great for confidence. What I do not get is why we were so quick to sell let led city and nasty go. Neither were perfect but both were much better than mangala defensively and kompany looked better with both. It just beggars belief that we aren't looking at fullbacks either. People on here rave about txixi and blame all our problems on ffp and hg quotas which is okay but wtf did we not go after clyne he was a bargain and a good player. Why are we not in for stones the lad is again proven and looks good on the ball and again hg. We desperately need a cm. and I now dzeko is a confidence player and he now probably wants to leave but replacing him with bony doesn't look good business to me. Either pellers or txixi is not doing their job right and they're running out of excuses. I hope that I look a mug and we batter west brom but I don't see how so much that needs to change will happen by ko.

No laughing matter. MH was being factually correct. Defensively we have been poor for two years. Not advocating a return to Mancini but when he took over he saw we were a defensive shambles and sorted it out within a week or two. It is not about individuals it is about a system.
 
worrying he felt he even needed to experiment with a midfield 3 of Nasri, Silva and Evans.
 
FFS not this shit again by the same people for the last two seasons I can tell anyone the narrative of this thread

"We should never have sacked Mancini and I am going to keep saying it until the the world listens to me"

It's all getting rather boring now he is never coming back get used to it, move on
 
We should have sacked him last season but looks like we are stuck with him for another year so have to wait and see what this season brings. Dof needs to get on the phone to the sheikh and ask for a few more quid cos our reserve players on the whole are not good enough.
 
City need to start prioritising the football and not the brand. That's about the only lesson worth taking from today's match.

As far as I see it, Pellegrini will be gone and the end of the season so it's not worth getting worked up about.
 
As much as we were told we would spend big and haven't, as much as we were told we would bring big players in and haven't (outside of sterling), there is an argument that suggests you can't buy yourself out of trouble.
We need to coach the players to be better and manage the system more effectively - and this only comes down to one person.

I just hope we qualify for the champions league next year at this rate.
 
He is lucky to have had Silva, Aguero and Yaya play for him, those three have made him look better than he actually is. Those three players would have kept Moyes in job at Utd.
 
What ever is said about pre-season and it not being important....the manager has a duty to the fans who paid there money to go to put out a team who can be competitive....he did not fo that with a midfield trio of Evans, Nasri and Silva. We had the same last year in the Charity Sheild as Arsenal tore us apart. Very sad to watch......media will be in overdrive after this sham !
 
I am looking at this season as Pellegrini's swan song and I am sitting back and going to enjoy the ride.
 
The midfield three was suicidal and totally inexcusable unless of course he wanted to see what Nasri offered in there. This also put the defence under a lot of pressure and no doubt confidence will have been dented. So overall a poor day at the office for el chileno.

But it was a friendly.

But if we continue defending like this the axe should fall swiftly and decisively Pep or no Pep.

The friendly excuse is a valid excuse when early in pre-season, the last game is different. The result doesn't matter, the performance does though.
 
Wasn't even like we were hit on the break today. We were just dominated and 2 or 3 30 yard passes and they were in on our goal.

He seems to think the more attacking players you have on the pitch the more likely you are to win. It's no surprise that we keep going through DMer after DMer when we spend all our money on attackers. It's time we spend some of these 25-50m fees on a world class holding CM, someone who can shield the CBs with some mobility as well as making us tick in possession.
