Dressing Room Unrest? (updated: Mirror report pg 14)

Re: Dressing Room Unrest?

Dont think it's a case of loosing the dressing room, just think the players know that realistically the league and champions league is probably over and they know its down to them. However i think its more just frustration at the situation than individuals. You see players of other clubs balling at others when mistakes are made, its a competitive sport with lots of emotion weather it be anger and berating individuals or celebrating a goal with your teammates.

same happened under bobby after we won pl, and same happening again. 2 different managers same players, suggests its certain players that are to blame for the unrest. this season is over, so if goes the same way we should win pl next season maybe under a 3rd manager, if simeone does come in, that guy wont take no shit that im sure of

Can you define the word "unrest" as I for one am certainly puzzled by it.
A few years ago we all heard the problems we had with players like Tevez,Bellamy,Ade,Mario and to a lesser extent SWP,who was feeding his old man with stories like this "unrest in City dressing room" which became plastered all over the media outlets.
Well I for one have never heard anything of civil unrest between the players since MP has been here and for as much as you see players having tiffs with one another on the field does NOT suggest that this is transferred into the dressing room.

Hopefully the players put all their frustrations into an unbelievable effort at the Nou Camp.

Our season isn't over yet, we're still alive and kicking in the Champion's League.
 
Re: Dressing Room Unrest?

It'll just be frustration that the season is pretty much over already. Hopefully we we sort ourselves out and go on a good run now and the team builds up confidence again, even if we don't win the title the minimum should be to push Chelsea to the end from here on out.
 
Re: Dressing Room Unrest?

Here my take on it... maybe well off the mark but hey.
Bear with me its a bit long winded.
As i see it pellers has a system of play set up that is drummed into the players heads... hence why bony looks a bit uncomfortable at the moment.
I see it as a strict regime where every player has his job/routine. Thats why we keep seeing the play push out to the wings, then brought back... then try again. It only comes in to the middle for a direct attack by the players whos job it is, ie silva and nasri/jimmy drifting in. Then its the forwards job to see off the finish.
Now this is where the unrest might be developing in my opinion. Some if the players like silva are spotting other passages of play in stead of the drilled routine that they clearly feel isnt worked against parked teams. Hence silva attacking the goal direct and for his efforts, scoring a goal.
Thats fine you might think. But then players that want to win by any means then give up on the drilled routine and carry on as they see fit to win. This in turn upsets the forwards who are running their drilled routine and not finding the ball where they expect it, alah silva and aguero tiff.
It seems that when a certain line up is called, the players are expected to play the drilled routine, regardless of how its failing, until the subs that are made, that then changes the set up and routine for that set of players. Watch how it changes when lamps and milner come on.
You might say.. well thats how teams work. But its my belief its too rigid and doesnt allow enough for players to take initiative.
If any if you have watched the video of Ferran Soriano's business/football/goverment talk, you may understand more what im talking about. Its all about being hollistic and everyone having their place in the system.
I think some of the players are following it blindly, whilst other are thinking "hang on... this isnt working in this game.. im gonna change it"..
And so the unrest appears...
Like i say. Its just my take on it, especially since i sat and watched the whole Ferran Soriano video
