we have the arrogance to think wasting full first halfs in many games wont cost us big time. Not just Hull, was similar many games this season. Sometimes we really raise the tempo and get out of it lucky, but lots of times not.

The first half today, or against Arsenal or second half against Burnley. Absolute joke and not acceptable. These are 45 minutes without creating a single chance, no tempo, no plan to attack, shamble defending usually.

Last week there were people arguing that Chelsea draw 1-1 gives us new confidence, new belief, Mourinho was scared, play the same attitude and we have to fear no one might even win next 5-6 league games in a row.

Than 6 days later, when we only have to prepare for a fucking shit Hull side, we come out and play that first 45 minutes.

Play with attitude like this in many other league games and we might struggle to reach top 4 then...

Stoke away coming up, bad results there nearly all the time, expect Pelle to rotate defence once again for no reason, expect Stoke to counter us with pace, but defend deep generally.
They hardly will do anything tactically that might surprise Pelle. We know what we have to prepare. Just like against Hull.

Iw we go 9-10 points far from Chelsea with some tricky away games left like Pool, Spurs, MU, we really have to worry mostly about the chasing pack.

Dont know what the hell Pelle is doing last few weeks. Burnley, Boro, Arsenal, Hull, and also the Everton when they were in deep shit form.

How the hell and what kind of gameplan he will have vs an inform Barca team in a cuple of weeks? Where we hopefully will have 40% posession maybe or less...
 
Been very poor this year has manuel. Famed for his man management skills and doesn't seem to motivating them at all
 
He can only work with the players we have. Unfortunately we had another shit transfer window last summer and wasted money on an average centre half who makes Lescott look composed on the ball and a midfielder who'd just about be good enough for a top Championship side.

The team is crying out for fast, direct players, someone in the Bale, Oxlade-Chamberlain mode, and has been for ages.
 
You can't blame it all on the manager.
Serious questions need to be asked of the players and their general attitude. They imploded in 2013 and handed a shit rag side the title by 11 points, virtually surrendering and given up by the end. The players then got Bobby sacked.

Fast forward 2 years and history is repeating itself, we have not got the balls or attitude to win back to back titles, it's no wonder opposition fans label our players mercenaries. I don't like the label but on days like this it's hard to argue.
 
If Silva didn't have some knock, taking him off for Jovetic was plain retarded. He might not have a great game but you just don't replace Silva when you need goals against Hull fucking City. Take Demichelis or Kompany off, Hart, whoever..
 
He comes across as a nice bloke and all but tactically he is nowhere near good enough.

You can say he won the League and League Cup double last season but at the end of the day out squad wa miles ahead of everybody else's. Chelsea had no forwards an didn't have a competent central midfielder until they brought in Matic in January, United had their worst squad in 25 years, Arsenal were Arsenal an Liverpool were carried by Suarez and only had one game a week, it would have been one of the biggest failures in the PL era for us to have not won the league last season.

I think if we go 10 points behind in the next few weeks and get a battering from Barca i reckon there is a possibility of him being sacked before the season has finished and Vieira will come in for a bit and blood some of the kids ready for next season.
 
When you look at vinny, zab, silva and kun and you know that they are a million times better than what they are demontrating right now then you know something is up. These players have run though brick walls in previous seasons and we know what they are capable of. Totally not arsed if they show pellegrini the door in the summer because I've lost all patience with our turgid style of play.
