Pellegrini can never build a dynasty with this group of players

While the builders were in, it seemed Manchester City needed a Campus worthy of their first team. Now they need a first team worthy of their amazing Campus. With this missed opportunity to close the gap on Chelsea the pressure grows on Manuel Pellegrini’s team to match their club’s ambitions.

in a game that raised further doubts about the balance of match-winning talent in City’s squad as well as their capacity to summon the necessary intensity, not just when it suits them but every time they punch the clock for work.

Chelsea could afford to lose this. City could not, though a Jose Mourinho side would never consider victory optional.

Character in this context means their willingness to throw themselves into battle each week with the same unwavering intensity that Chelsea do.
There are times when City resemble a gang of famous and comfortable actors who pick their moments to give it all for the director. There is a suspicion that they turn it on in bursts, usually when they really have to, or when a fellow superpower is on the pitch. But what if all this emphasis on attitude and application conceals a more troubling reality?
What if too many of City’s current squad are just not good enough to build a dynasty in the former style of their Manchester neighbours?

First, the Fernando-Fernandinho midfield combination would be no match for Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic in a Chelsea-City fixture of no injuries or suspensions

Chelsea have evolved this season and added the formidable Costa and Fabregas. By no stretch could the same be said of City, whose reliance on Frank Lampard’s late goals – and expensive move for Bony in this January transfer window – indicate a certain patching together

Paul Hayward, if you were wondering...

Anyone who questions the character of a group of players who have won the league twice in three seasons from seemingly impossible positions simply doesn't know what he's talking about. The fact he's judged the Bony move before he's kicked a ball confirms his stupidity.

Why do people so readily make themselves hostages to fortune?

I know, but it's fucking disgraceful having to read that bile.

If Chelsea were to win the premiership and the league cup, what would be the odds of Moureen winning the manager of the year award?

Its a baffling article that wouldn't look out of place on a Chelsea forum. Comparing the two Ferns to Matic and Fabregas is bizarre. Did we sell Yaya and no one bother to tell us? As for our character well given that two out of three seasons involved our rivals imploding like a clown car and us going on impeccable runs precisely when it mattered should make you pause for thought before rushing to damn our lack of it.

As for the 'Chelsea could afford to lose' bollocks. Yeah right.
