I'm of similar opinion,last night it was obvious we were losing our grip on the game and yet he didn't react accordingly.Some of his decisions and substitutions are odd to say the least.
Taking Yaya and Aguero off at 60 mins and replacing with Fernandinho and Jovetic would have secured the result imo.Clichy for Kolarov would have been my 3rd sub.
Navas was absolute gash when he came on.

Your right Navas was light weight .
Not many players can come out with any credit after that result .
Pellergrini was at fault for letting things go stale in the 2nd half .
Still furious we tossed away 3 points

It's becoming blaringly obvious that a there's a flaw in the system. We do play very central and everyone knows it.
And it doesn't help that our only primary winger (Navas) is afraid to take on the full back. We need what Bellamy used to bring to us.

The second half last night was as frustrating to watch as the first half of the home tie against Bayern last season. It was so apparent, so painfully obvious that there were certain things that needed to be changed and there was this air of inevitability about it.
I worry that the players have no fear factor as far as the manager is concerned, that there are no consequences for lapses in concentration (unless you're Joe Hart). That was a white flag job last night, a capitulation and some of the basic mistakes made by some of the players points toward a lack of desire, focus and complacency.
He needs to shake them up, that won't cut it in what we're trying to achieve.
He also needs to look at himself. It's his job to halt a drop in performance like we say last night and he's often to slow to react.

Its time for him to show his true mettle, and looking at how angry he was last night, I think he will. He has to deal with the sacred cow that is YaYa toure, and do like he did with hart last season. He has to get jovetic in the side, at the expense of dzeko. And he has to think hard about rotating his left backs too much. Kolorov is not doing it either.
We aren't anywhere near crisis, but we need to get better. Unless he turns things around in the champions league there's big pressure on the league campaign. These are all solvable problems but to me he has to make some bold decisions with players who aren't doing it. It isn't about formations particularly for me. It's about not letting teams run at us from the midfield.
I think he will act now and get this season back on track. I still believe he's the right man for us. Three poor performances in the CL don't change that. But it's time to be bold, turn up the heat and shake things up.

We wouldn't have drawn with CSKA Moscow with Klopp in charge .

Surely as a top paid experienced manager he should have been dealing with these problems ages ago, we have looked poor in Europe a long long time now, even when we have won games in Europe and there haven't been many we haven't looked right, even in the league we have always been a team that tends to play in fits and starts, we are totally unprofessional in europe, have been for years
