Doesn't matter who the manager is, the players are now the main problem.
They have run their race and a lack of desire and intensity has killed this team.
The manager is expecting things from players who just aren't up to it.
He has failed in his duty to recognise and work around those fundamental fault lines.
And for that he will surely pay with his job.
Pellegrini isn't fully at fault. It's been a mix of huge expectations after the money we've spent. We should take a step back and look at our spending compared to Real Madrid and barcelona. They can go out and spend millions on one player. When it does come to buying players, we've been totally inept to sign a player who would become a key player in this side. Weather it's been marwood or txiki, we've been wank in the transfer window for 3 seasons now. It's catching up with us now, espiecally with our ageing squad. There is a certain worry in me that we could be in a for a couple of seasons going through a transition, because we need a serious overhaul.
Another thing is mentality. Our players talk to talk, but they seem to do it with arrogance. It's almost like, we've done it before and we will do it again. In them title run ins, we just got on with it, we didn't speak a word. This arrogance is showing on the pitch, I can almost guarentee now that weve fucked up today, we will go on another good run. It was the same in Mancinis last season, best team in the league, but our arrogance and half hearted performances have killed us.
We've got some massive decisions to make in the summer. If pellegrini was to go, I want to see a manger come in and txiki to take a step back with the transfers dealings.
