The problem is that you're far too wound up about things and there are worse things in life to get wound up about. And it's not that I violently disagree with you about Pellegrini as I've said on here that I don't see him taking us to that last level we're aiming for.St Helens Blue (Exiled) said:Prestwich_Blue said:That the trouble with SHB. Had one good season then turned to shit. But I'm hoping he'll come good again.
You mean I am not towing the party line ????
Go on explain. Am I not allowed to express my opinion that in my opinion he has taken us backwards.
I will say it-We won the league because Liverpool imploded..Yes yes I hear you that the league is won over the 38 games but in reality they gave it us.
He gives us nothing anymore Pellegrini other than his usual mundane answers and press conferences.
My mind is made up,results show we are regressing. Of course you can lose any game but...
Stoke home
Newcastle reserves home..
He's a dead man walking
But I do disagree that he'll be given his marching orders mid-season without the club having a clear Plan B. Even Mancini, who'd had a similarly poor run of results and whose relationship with the board, executives and most of his senior players had completely broken down, was given to the end of the season (or would have been if news of Pellegrini hadn't leaked).
His fate will depend on the conversations he has with Soriano & Begiristain. If his attitude in those is that he doesn't have a clue what's wrong or how to fix it, he's history. No question. If however he does have a concrete plan, then he'll be allowed to implement it. A lot may also depend on who we can get to replace him as there's no point in getting someone like Koeman or Martinez, who represent a bigger gamble than Pellegrini. It will have to be someone who has the pedigree and experience to take us that final step, closer to winning the CL than we are at the moment. It may be they've already had conversations with someone and have an understanding in place. It maybe that if Dortmund parted company with Klopp n the next few weeks we'd pounce but I simply don't know.
But however disappointing last night was, we're still in two domestic competitions and could, potentially, win another double. So I appreciate you're a passionate blue but why not chill out, reflect on the things you've got in your life that are blessings and stop getting yourself into a state about a game of football.
Thanks for your response. I am really chilled out and am not in a state but am I not allowed to be passionate about the team the club I support? Yes some are more relaxed about the situation and are easy come easy go but that showing last night was simply not acceptable in any way shape or form. Then you have the people who simply blame the officials and UEFA.
Of course they were shocking but we have all sort of come to accept that for a while now.
As you say,I agree with you that if he has no answers then he is toast. He is saying it is baffling him our performances etc. I don't know what he does on a daily basis after training but he needs to sit and analyse things,watch the game over and over. Surely he can see that Moscow cut through the middle of us like we weren't even there and if he can't then what is he not seeing that the majority of us are. I will say it again,he is stubborn beyond belief Colin and I can't see him changing at all unless the powers that be question what is going on.
QPR-We know they are going to press us,no time on the ball etc. Another potential banana skin. What if the worst case scenario happens then. 2 week international break and I would say he will be on even thinner ice. Maybe for the remainder of the season Kidd will promoted or even Vieira,of this I dont know.
