Most games lost consecutively since the takeover I think now? What really does my head in is the fact all of our rivals lost, we could of been 7 points behind Leicester, have a game in hand and also be right back in the mix with the current top 3. Instead we are a million miles away and I think we have to concede that the title is completely gone just because I can't even see where the next win is coming from. We have lost more games than anyone in the top 6, it is baffling really how we spent so much in the summer and have been reduced to a top 4 team at the very best.
Everyone is laughing on here at Van Gaal and all the speculation about him being sacked yet here they are sat on the exact same points as us. If the scum had someone who could score goals we would be absolutely dead in the water. Despite the spending we are being outscored by Spurs, Everton and Leicester and we have conceded more than 5 other teams in this league, those stats aren't the hallmark of a title winning team. Pep or no Pep, Pellegrini would be gone for me by now because we have showed no signs of improvement at all since we lost to Liverpool big at home, Liverpool have scored 7 goals against us over 2 games this season!!!!
I can't say it is totally Pellegrini's fault but how did one team turn up last night all guns blazing and the other didn't, both have played the exact same minutes so there is no excuse. How come Milner can have a fantastic game and be all over the pitch having played 120 minutes but none of our players can? Pellegrini reckons we had no options to change things too which I find ridiculous, he could of extended his selection to fill those options with youth - Manu Garcia had a fantastic game against Chelsea yet he was nowhere near the bench. There is just no invention and absolutely nothing about this team right now which would scare anyone, Villa probably see this weekends game against us as their best chance of clawing back some points!
I bet Klopp didn't even bother with training prior to this game and he just gave his players 2 days rest, it's not like we were going to start any differently or do something different.
