Manuel Pellegrini

[afro2007]

the coach has done whatever he can do to make a team perform with is style but the players have some kind of mindset in them proving they do not care about us the fans or the supports,if they do how on earth would be leading against a CSKA MOSCOW and drawing?. Because nothing is important to them to make us the fans happy.

At this point in the season?

Next summer..

And if Pep wants to see his 3 years out You would risk Vieira would you ?

Either of the two have been on the cards for atleast a year now.

Pellegrini certainly needs to change his approach and philosophy because the environment is not conducive for it. He cannot keep saying that ''we will continue to play the same way'' because although that sounds good it does not mean that it would yield better outcomes. We have the players for better and more effective formations and there are times for 442 but not every time.

442 is fine as long as the wingers can tuck in to support the cms, which is what Nasri is excellent for us at.

There are a few players nowhere near where they were last year form wise which also isn't helping.

We need a couple of signings for me, Negredo playing as he did last year in the first few months is a real miss and his pressing from the front also helped to release pressure.

He needs to ditch this 442. Its naive and is costing us games. We all know Silva behind the striker is the best option.

Compared to other elite-level managers he's fairly average. Guardiola or Mourinho would've had 95 points with our squad last season.

I think 94.

How can you come to such an opinion?

Yaya needs freeing up, Fernandinho partnered with Fernando at the expense of Dzeko and a back-line that is consistently picked together.

This myth that players don't care is nonsense, I detest that opinion and it is a foundation-less, speculative piece of diatribe to be frank.

Sadly, that seems to be out of the question now.

FFP is certainly taking it's toll, despite the numerous "experts" on here printing mass articles about it having absolutely no effect on us whatsoever.

We went from signing Yaya, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Milner and Dzeko to signing no one who could genuinely improve our squad. Fernandinho perhaps being the only one. It all kicked in during that summer window where we signed Maicon, Sinclair and Rodwell.

Pep or Vieira.

At this point in the season?

Next summer..

I don't think we'll get rid, we'll just allow his contract to run down so Summer 2016 for me he'll leave having fulfilled his contract.

Although I do think unless he changes these useless tactics in certain games especially away from home and Europe he might be staring down the wrong end of a gun before that, but I'll let those who make such decisions to well make em if they think it's necessary.
