Manuel Pellegrini

[NipHolmes]

He might be a charming man but he's not the man for Man City, last season I seen him as a decent man manager who won't change his tactics, this season he's failed. Simple as that. In the summer we need a change.

Just won a double. Get a grip

Tactics been figured out and too stubborn to change them. His stubbornness is really pissing me off now. The best managers hold their hands up and adapt to each opponent while Pellegrini is too arrogant to do that and thinks we will dick every team 10-0.

Can someone translate the interview he just gave on Sky? No wonder the players can't understand his instructions.

The next 7 days will have a huge bearing on our season, based on the last 3 matches we could be in big trouble.

I'm tempted to say it but I'm going to reserve judgement just yet.

It is looking like Pellers will be replaced in the summer imho.

 

[Love Bites and Everything]

I'd shed no tears if his time did come but it won't yet. However, is tactical stubbornness and lack of flexibility is astonishing.

It's the players I'm angry at. They're not at it, it's plainly obvious. There's a real lack of hunger about them and there's some real wage thieves playing for us at the moment.

I thought Newcastle played really well .
As for us WE looked a shambles .
Kolarov was guilty of that 1st goal !!!!
Why did he play Silva tonight that was brainless from Pellergrini .
Massive game for him on Sunday .
Any more of this and I think its bye bye Manuel !!!!

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

he said we wont change the way we play which means we are up pooh creak because we are playing rubish no tempo no desire to win .dzeko up front is terrible all in all not looking good!.

We didnt play well. We must do better. We are conceding too many and not scoring enough.

That's it, nothing to read about our defence being as open as a 24 hour McDonalds.

Fact of the matter is he sets us up too open and the same move does us time and again, sit back and attack City on the counter. Even David Blunkett can see it.

Yep, 3 must win matches coming up. United, CSKA, QPR.

CL could be a disaster after 4th group game if we dont beat CSKA, and they arent Newcastle reserves's level thats for sure.

Also defend like we do recently and United world class attackers will find more than enough space...
We really dont want to hand VanGaal his first big scalp of the season.
While QPR away could be tricky, they will counter and sit deep, but will have energy for sure and they will be up for it. Not sure we will be up for it as much as recent results showed.

I fear at least two of these 3 games will be draws or losses. Nothing would make Chelsea and Bayern/Roma happier...
