Manuel Pellegrini (cont)

[richards30]

As far as I'm concerned , we lost the title yesterday.

They weren't 100% fit and missed the likes of Fabregas and Costa.

They were there for the taking but Pellegrini's tactics yet again let us down.

You do realise we dominated against them and chances missed like sergios arent the managers fault?? I'll always love mancini for the players he brought to us and at the time the mentality but manuel has brought a professional calmness to the club and it was very much needed at the time!

You don't get it do you. They were knackered ! They made us look good.

Had Pellegrini picked the right team, we'd have won the game not just taken 1 point.

5 points behind Result Grinders Chelsea FC is too much at this stage of the season.

Title is gone.

Just wow! Not really anything to say fella as you obviously are mental. Was the forum like this before the takeover?

I can be as negative as the next fan, but, fuck me, you aren't half talking some serious shite!

After that game I felt so much more optimistic. I know we didn't win, but the manner of the draw, with the players we have missing, was incredibly encouraging! I think it bodes very well for the back half of the season. They don't come much tougher than Stamford Bridge and we were an arse hair away from giving them a hiding!

Specialist subject - talking bollocks.

And that team was...?

 

[mosssideblue]

hard for some i'm sure but despite pellers being an able manager both jose and sir bob bury him.

I assume you mean Mancini? I'm a huge Mancini fan but if he were still in charge we wouldn't be in the top 4. He or his ego was destroying the squad. With FFP we wouldn't have been able to sustain the internal damage he was causing.

As for Mourinho, the 'Special one' finished 3rd last year. He wins when he has all the best players, he pretty much sent Inter into bankruptcy, won one league with the World's most expensive squad.

His histrionics are embarrassing, I know you are a loyal fan of City and I'm sure you wouldn't want him anywhere near our club.

He's had no injuries, we couldn't have been hit much harder, we had to play the hardest period of the season with no fit strikers, our captain missing and players struggling for form. We've now missed our most influential player for a month playing some very important games.

Would Chelsea be 5 points ahead of us if they'd have played 6 weeks without Hazard? 6 weeks without Fabregas? 6 weeks without Terry? 6 weeks without Costa, Drogba & Remy?
Most of them at the same or similar time.

I think we've been very unlucky with injury, not in terms of numbers but in terms of importance to the team, yet are just 5 points behind.

Toure and Bony to return soon, Silva back fully fit, Kompany & Aguero back and fully fit. Nasri back soon.

Pellegrini has rarely moaned about injury, or some very odd referring decisions, Mourinho's humiliating attempts to manipulate the media, the officials and constantly carries himself with a calm and steadiness that I've rarely seen.

He's made mistakes, all managers do, but he rarely gets credit for the intelligence shown. Take the two Chelsea games, he took a huge risk playing Mangala at home, he knew they'd be cuing up to slaughter him if it went wrong, it didn't, it was an excellent call, did he get much credit? Nope.
Yesterday, he picks Sagna over Zabaleta, a huge call, again imagine the uproar had it back fired, again he'd have been slaughtered, where's the credit? Sagna was largely excellent and kept Hazard very quiet.

Pellegrini might not puff his chest out, talk shite all week but he makes big calls. Leaving Zabaleta out, playing Sagna was a great idea. Is he backed? No. He's noticed that Zabaleta has been poor for weeks, he did something about it.

I think he's the best manager in the league. We'll win the league or go very close again.

Great Post. Good arguments well put. No doubt the Bob lovers will try and pull it to pieces though.

Personally I feel that he started with the right team but could have been a bit more ambitious with his subs while we were well on top but not looking dangerous.

You really should change your username, red clown would be more suitable.

Your being very kind to him. I thought he was just a knob for writing shit like that, but it's much worse.
