Most of my neighbours cats have sore arses after watching that shite.

Heard this down the years but would highly doubt it?

Simply put, he used to be one of our best players but we have had a manager in charge these last couple of years who fails to recognise or address the elephant in the room, that he's not up to it.

IMO, Yaya's ego is such, he has no challengers to his authority in the dressing room.

We have a bunch of nice guys who haven't got the bollocks to stand up to Yaya and tell him how it is.

I remember Milner getting on his case after one game and Yaya went down the tunnel at half time practically trying to bully Jimmy for having the temerity to question him.

It's days like this I wish for a Craig Bellamy...

The biggest thing the team has missed this season is leadership. This manager is clearly not a leader. He's an apparently "charming" company man.

Kompany is clearly the leader of the squad. He even used to set up meetings with the other defenders to prepare specifically for opponents because the manager is either unwilling or unable to do so.

The attitude of the team when Yaya is the captain often reflects his own attitude this season. Complacent and uninterested.

We miss Kompany's technical qualities, but not nearly as much as we miss his leadership, drive and influence.

Agree with you to a point but I think Pelle is an easy scapegoat. Ok he is not criticism free fair enough but without your top players and other important injuries your options become very limited when fighting on 4 fronts. and expecting the same 13/14 players to do the business week in week out. It aint gonna happen. Would be interested to see how Pep would cope with the same problem.

See Bayern last year.;) They were down to 11 players at one point.

Because Yaya is supposedly leaving then give the armband to Zabba - at least he really cares!

Don't need to add much to what has already been covered, could be a pretty embarrassing end for pellers reign, need to win the league cup at the very least and with the amount of injuries and our current form I would take 4th place and a cup win right now

There is no reason that Vinnie couldnt be doing that coaching role even though he is injured. He clearly needs to speak to Oto to try and smooth out some of the basic flaws.

I thought Leicester were excellent. We weren't exactly sparkling, but they were so well set up to exploit our weaknesses and defend brilliantly that I think we might well have lost at our best.

Leicester are by far and away the best team in the league this season and by now it's only ignorance or arrogance that can blind someone to that.

I don't agree, yes they were good we were very poor. This is where decisions such as Sterling's penalty v Everton and the blatant one on Aguero away at Leicester costs you.

Not sure what more I can add. It’s all been said. Can we express this dissatisfaction to the team (mgmt. & players).
I expect our season to unravel in spectacular fashion now.
Dreading Spurs next weekend.
Dreading Capital One Cup.
We still have to play Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal in the league – we won’t win any of those.
Leicester will win the league after having spent a token amount on players.
I started thinking around Xmas that if we had Mancini back for the remainder of the season we would win the league – I still believe that to Be the case. I’m certain Mourinho / Benitez or anybody who gives a sh*t about tactics could also do a job. The players form indicates a general malaise that is hard to stomach. Where is the fight ?
