Manuel Pellegrini (cont)

Fernando in a midfield 2. Two of our best players from last week on the bench. No natural width. No pace. Taking Silva off when we're desperate for a goal. A tactical masterclass from the manager.

This. Totally clueless, "the engineer" is wrecking this build.

i think there must be questions being asked about his abilities now, i personally rate the guy and want him to be a real success but have to admit i now have serious doubts about him. Our defense is a shambles and at times we look clueless, maybe when Yaya comes back and with the introduction of Bony thing may turn around but things need to change quickly. 7 points is a big gap but the saving grace is that we are only in February and time to put a run together.

If we lose to Barca the season could really go into freefall.

Hopefully today is the final nail in the coffin of the useless Chilean yes man.

An imposter of a manager who has brought nothing to the club but failed signings.

This 'charming man' is a useless **** who needs to fuck off and fuck off now.

Must try harder.......

Make no mistake, Pellegrini is responsible .. Get him out before it is too late.

Q&A for Pellegrini

Do you practice corners in training?

Do you have any tactical plan or do you just hope that the natural talent of the players will win the game?

Do you feel you can motivate the players?

Why drop players who are in form?

Best two players against Chelsea were arguably Milner and Navas. Both dropped.

Weird.

Milner had been on fire against Middlesborough and Chelsea . He is the closest to Yaya Toure, yet that Flop Reges is chosen ahead of him in most games.

So many things the manager got wrong today. Sorry if already posted but why on earth were Nasri and Silva playing on the sides that don't suit either of them for the whole of the first half? It wasn't working, unsurprisingly but still we persisted with it. Neither have the pace to go past anyone on the outside but couldn't really come inside because they'd be on their weak foot. The other problem with this Manual masterplan was that because both were not drifting inside as much there was barely any space on the outside for the fullbacks to run into to create some width. Completely fucking baffled today.

It is so crystal clear he has absolutely no tactical plan. He picks 11 players and hopes their individual talent will win the game and when that doesn't happen he sits there doing nothing. Clueless mark II.

Could one of our technical experts post caller Alex's irate but succinct post match rant on BBC Radio Manchester please. I understand they were going to post it on their site.
Summed it up perfectly.


I'd add:-
No improvement whatsoever in our play - actually regressing.
Failure to improve our clear failings.

On another note - the players look heavy - over conditioning.

Time for him to go now I'm afraid.
Not a snap decision either, it's been building all season.
We are defensively so bad, the attacking isn't much better, it's been the same all season and nothing has changed.
What do we actually do in training?
We certainly don't seem to be working on our weaknesses, our corners are a joke and the defending at times is shambolic.
The biggest problem for me with pellegrini is he has absolutely no plan b, we been found out and he changes nothing.
We play the same way over and over again, we make changes to the starting lineup and play the same way, we make subs and play the same way, he doesn't look like he has different tactics for different teams.
I'm actually at the stage at the moment where I'm not enjoying going to the games.
Something has to change, Manuel has had plenty of time and money to improve our squad and he's not, if anything he's gradually making us worse.
Rant over. (God I'm in bad mood).
CTID.

The player brought in under him are complete shite, would love to know if he asked for them or was it Marwood or the Spaniards.
