GoMancini7 said:Well international break didnt come well as now 80% of players will travel all over, get tired, injured etc, rest that stays about 5-6 players will hardly hit form on their own, and why would they we didnt hit any form since last internation break.
On top of that now Kompany and Silva both miss game so they will need to work on their fitness too and you cant really be top form on 50% fitness.
But what makes it worse is really the next few games are really tricky. Swansea not so much, but Bayern is hell of a game, I think currently even if they come with Bayern reserve they would still beat us. We cant hold a clean sheet against Newcastle reserve or QPR and Bayern reserve stronger than both...
Just remember what Bayern did to us with Martinez, Ribery, Robben, Schweinsteiger all out in Munchen... They had a shot when they wanted, only Hart kept us in the game or helped us avoid a brutal 4-0 loss.
But CL is over for me, I can accept 4th place in the group now as cant see us winning any of last two games. Tactically we improved fuck all since Macini in Europe and to be fair even Mancini's tactics werent good enough in Europe. We wasted two more years in Europe. A squad like ours should consistently reach around quarters and semis maybe. We dont reach one quarter final in 4 years. If Pelle stays it will be 5 years. (also dropping back to Pot3 is serious threat now and thats bad news as Pot2 will have some huge clubs from next year.)
PL is open yet, but those Soton away and Sunderland away games coming will be hell for us. Soton away is coming after midweek Bayern game. We gonna be really tired and morale possible very low after being out of CL. Just what Soton wants, meat a team out of form, low morale, they gonna press us, while their defensive stats really impressive, we all know it wont go well.
Cant see Pelle coming up with some great gameplan to handle Soton away from home.
And then no relax, as instantly a midweek round for PL, and its Sunderland away. All this after potentially two bad results from Bayern/Soton games.
Sunderland away what is someone mentioned above a traditional loss these days. Even under Mancini we were going there and fucking lost no matter how shit Sunderland were with some Brown-O'Shea-Bardsley-Cuellar defence. Who scores the only goal and winner this time? O'Shea?
There is no form, low desire, motivation, simple passes are fucked up, workrate really missing, and logic says its just gonna continue in next few fixtures.
Many made the mistake comparing Mancini's worst season (12-13) with Pelle's best (13-14), I think we should compare now this with 12-13 and lots of similar things are there to see actually.
But still Pelle has it easier he didnt have to work with the joke that MArwood is, and while Pelle had FFP ban on transfer he still wanted his friend Caballero and he got it, e wanted Sagna early on he got it, he wanted Fernando already in January he got him also while he wanted Mangala or Benatia too and he got him too.
Now imagine if instead of these fresh arrivals there would be some Rodwell/ Sinclair-esque new squad members arriving late August. Thats how hard were Mancini fucked in the ass...
Mancini in 2012 summer wanted RVP, Hazard, De Rossi and a top CB too and we ended up with players last week of August that one by one had to replaced since than, no wonder why...
Whatever, this is history, but this season look mirroring 2012-2013 in performance, out of CL early on, possibly finish behind CSKa which is not better than being behind Ajax, actually worse as that group was stronger with Real/dortmund, as Real reached semis, Dortmund were finalists, but this group with CSKA/Roma not special, Roma wont get far probably out of next round vs anothers groups's 1st placed team.
While in the league no way we catch Chelsea, they gonna have dropping points (us even more!!), might even be losing a few (hard to see against who, Anfield, Old Trafford, Etihad got them 5 points and still unbeaten?)
One big thing we can finally learn. If you win the league you go and strenghten the fucking squad. If you dont win it that it makes even more sense to do this. Sitting back, sign some good players, squad players etc, hahahah, we learn it again it worth fuck all.
Your English is improving Roberto. Well done.
