Martin Demichelis

[ardwickboy]

Against Chelsea he played him in midfield instead of Rodwell and against Norwich he played instead of Lescott.......I hope Joe Hart does not get injured or we might find him in goal.

So Lescott and Rodwell would be our saviours? I must have missed the overwhelming evidence.

Dear oh dear.

Tired listening to 'expert' summarisers on television tell me that he is such a weak link. Sure he makes some mistakes, as does every other player, but if MP rates him enough that should be good enough.

Rodwell can run at least - when fit obviously,!! would love to know just how fit he is, he looked good at the end of last season when he got a bit of a chance - some people on here really down on Rodwell, give the lad a chance .

Demichelis not good enough IMO - But obviously a favorite.

Two things worrying me now about Pellegrini:

1) He does seem to have his favorites

2) He starting to look a bit one dimensional

3) When we're up against is he doesn't seem to have ideas or at least the right ones to make a difference!!

Rodwell played against Watford and that match showed why he is on the bench.

Bull shit - there wasnt a player on the pitch that played even ok in the first half .

But look at the quality of backup. I have supported Rodwell in the past but he's only just regained fitness and certainly didn't shine when played recently. He could come good after a run in the side but it's a big if and a big gamble. Loads of people love Milner but plenty think he's only average. Lescott isn't the answer to anything, IMO. Nastasic is looking very poor at the mo.

All the alternatives are flawed. DM is also flawed but can at least put some good passes together and get the game moving.

Pretty sure the Norwich fans were cheering when he got on the ball today, before turning to boos. Even though he didn't have a terrible game today I never feel comfortable when the ball goes near him

Very good game today from MDM , appears to be a high proportion of rags posting tonight who know zilch about the finer points of football.

This is the problem, its not that people know fuck all about the game because they are not keen on MDM, as it happens i also fall in to that category.
Im not saying he's a poor player ( although sometimes with some of things he does it makes me wonder) im saying he's not "GOOD ENOUGH" for where we are in our attempt to become one of the major players in Europe.
His deficiencies are highlighted more so now that we have a couple of injuries, but i must admit , i dont think pellegrini helps his cause playing him and toure in a 2 man central midfield( when he does ) i think its got to be a 3 man central midfield, sacrifice a striker and play toure in a more advanced role where he can be devastating to say the least.
I think certain away games and against the top teams who pack out there central midfield, we may have to follow suit but im not sure wether or not pellegrini will do this.
MDM would cope much better in a 3 man central midfield, when he's in a 2 you can hear the creaks, he's under too much strain - his pal pellegrini is hanging him out to dry in a 2 man c/midfield.
My last point , i dont like the way MDM seems to be so obviously a pellegrini favourite, and some of my fellow supporters also think MDM and pellegrini can do no wrong- i mean , what would be wrong about playing lescott as the left footed partner of kompany instead of another right footed player?? Lescott really hasn't been that bad when he's played tbf.
I know lescott isn't going to be vinnie s partner next season (he probably won't even be at the club ) but surely to fuck MDM wont be his partner either or for that matter wont ever start- off the bench at best in my opinion.

By the way mate, just because MDM isn't my favourite player - DONT CALL ME A RAG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
