Manuel Pellegrini

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

You have to credit Man Utd more though. They threw it at us. Had to risk everything even with 10 men, they aren't just going to sit back the whole game.

Their main threat was on our left, which was left wide open once Milner had received the hook. Fair enough make a substitution but at least make it like for like. But as others have noted we changed back to 4-4-2 and the last 20 minutes today was like West Ham and Newcastle. I can't believe others can't see this. I'm thrilled we won but we got lucky today imo.

The old "we got lucky" chestnut.

If all us Blues sang through the last 20 minutes rather than replicating a morgue until extra time, we would have seen the game out with ease!

Great win and I'm just popping open a bottle of Moet to celebrate, now the nervous system is starting to get back to normal.

I don't understand why people have such tunnel vision. We have another huge game on Wednesday. If you look at the effort Milner put in and the fact he's nailed on to start again on Wednesday. Made absolute sense to give him a little rest and give Nasri some minutes.

Another tactical wonder class from our manager. Takes Milner and Jovetic off replaces them with Dzeko and Nasri, and with one stroke we went from a team that had the rags stuck in their own half and couldn't get out to one being dominated by 10 men. Well done Manuel it was a masterclass of the highest order give yourself a pat on the back, whilst the rest of us reach for the Valium.

Couldn't agree more, bringing on Dzeko & Nasri to replace Milner & Jovetic was fucking ridiculous, we lost our protection down the left which meant Di Maria was suddenly a big threat in a game he was anonymous in for an hour and we sacrificed numbers in midfield due to Jovetic playing deep in favour of a fucking donkey with no movement standing with their untroubled back four.

Pellegrini did more to help the rags in the second half than turtle head, instantly turned the game from dominating a very ordinary 10 men into a backs to the wall panic fest, his changes caused tension in the crowd which transfered to the players and the fact we should count ourselves lucky to have scraped a 1-0 win against that shower of shit, in a game we dominated, especially given the fact they were down to 10 men for almost an hour should speak volumes.

I really like Pellegrini as a man and of course I am happy with the result but we won in spite of the manager, not because of him, he is not the right manager for us and the sooner he is replaced the better.

He is the ultimate underdog manager, he would work wonders with a team like Newcastle or Everton, but as a manager trying to win championships and be competitive in Europe he hasn't got a fucking clue beyond 4-4-2 and try to outscore opponents. He makes changes for the sake of making them, he has no plan B and he is either unwilling or unable to identify a problem and fix it in game.

I know i'm gonna get some stick for this but I don't give a fuck, it needs to be said, we need a genuine world class manager, regardless of how Hollistic they may or may not be, as long as we stick with Manuel we will never progress beyond flat track bullies who get found out on the bigger stage, he is fucking clueless.

Pellegrini out!

I always find it better to win the game before thinking about the next one, also Milner above anyone else is capable of playing two full 90 mins in a week, twas a daft decision

The match on Wednesday is of equal importance to this club,as was todays.He`s damned if he does and he`s damned if he doesn`t make substitutions.
Most fuckers still rely on FIFA computer games as a bench mark to our success !!!
