The manager absolutely deserves his fair share of robust criticism after that performance tonight, no doubt.
So do several of the players though. Not just tonight either, but all season. They downed tools with the last manager and they've done it again.
You have to look at the power behind the throne when this sort of thing happens again and again. Maybe knowing pep is apparently on his way has made them think "feck it, I'm going anyway, I'll take it easy from here on in". If that is the case and that prevailing attitude (which has clearly been allowed to fester all season) ends up costing us top four (which I still don't think will happen but no denying it is now a real possibility) who can guarantee that pep the saviour will still be rocking up here in the summer. Imagine he says to his bezzie mate "sorry pal, I don't manage teams outside the CL". That would for me mean summary dismissal for txiki and Soriano.
All that said, I'm one of those optimistic fools and still believe we are more likely to win the league than the above scenario so what the hell do I know?
This, in one sentence, is what is wrong with this City team
Is it always like this on here? Everyone else to blame, mods acting like prawns, blues turning on blues???
He's also won us Champion's League matches with the last kick of a ball.He carried us to 4-1 defeats at the Etihad and WHL. He hasn't turned up in a big yet.
Other than the obvious ones, the problem isn't the players, it's the 'manager'
You said itI wish these closet rags would post after we win a game. This thread is full of the cunts. I shall comb through this thread and expose the gobby twats. See y'all later.
Because you don't have one. How can a manager have the best squad in the league and yet fail to win a single game against the top 8?

Kompany tries to get the players to go over to the fans who've just watched that shit show - some of them still couldn't be arsed.
The players that Txiki Begiristain has brought in are utterly woeful. He was also responsible for bringing in Pelligrini. Pelligrini has rightly copped a load of shit as hes been crap. He's not wholly responsible though.A large portion of the blame can be attributed to Txiki Begiristain imo. We are in a far worse position now in regards to the 1st team than when he arrived. Lets hope his main man Pep is going to bail him out as he has had a shocker imo. Over 50 million for Otamendi and Mangala, absolutely clueless.
Sorry to put the boot in,but going back to 2011/12 we hadn`t been there either.30 points to play for says I'm more optimistic than deluded and not ready to be a pussy.
Knowing leicester have never been here and Spurs usually bottle it says I'm more calm than throwing in the towel.
It's the 2nd of March.
Sorry mate not looking to row either and if it wasn't mp in the dugout id maybe have more of your optimism. The guy just ain't good enough. We should have got rid last summer but we are stuck with the twat now and need to rely on luck and our players motivating themselves plus a few results going our way to get over the line.Ha I'm not on the Internet to row. Let's see hey? We are in a position yet where we are8 behind with not so many points to play for. We are where we are with 30 juicy points to play for, with No United and fergie to battle. Chill out.
