Re: Manuel Pellegrini
Of course we can win it, although we aren't favourites because we are in the 'marzipan' layer: not one of the 3 favourites but in the little group just behind them.
Saying we can win it is like Liverpool or United saying they can win the FA Cup.

I don't want to pi•• on your chips Manuel .
But that's talking out of your ar** !!!
And no way will we win it playing 4-4-2 .
He actually said we are one of several teams capable of winning it,slightly different........
And Chelsea managed it with a far worse squad.
Good! Talking about winning it makes all the right noises both for where the club want to be and to attract future players. If he says we are small time and have no chance how the hell will he get the players to perform. Confidence is essential. He is never arrogant nor stupid, he said it in a way that clearly takes into consideration the variables at play. Chelsea won the CL as above with a poor squad. Liverpool won it despite being nowhere in the league. Denmark and Greece won the Euro's! If we pull through and get out of the group anything can happen. You have to believe you can win it or there is no point!
