No fight in this team

I am a believer that this is the reason why we have changed the club badge, to have the motto "pride in battle" anywhere near our club at the moment would be a piss take.
 
This is exactly what happens when you pick players based on reputation, not merit. You have to breed a culture of hard work in a club and the only way you do that is by rewarding hard work. Too many of our players get game time when they don't deserve a shirt, we all know who I mean and that's what makes it worse. The fans can see it, the management (Mancini and Pellegrini) clearly can't.
 
I'm not accepting its a lack of fight,its a lack of organisation from the sidelines and a lack of leadership on the pitch.

I didn't witness a lack of enthusiasm or desire today but I did witness a lack of cohesion,understanding and preparation.
 
Lack of desire, passion, no urgency, lack of cohesive team approach, no desire to press, break at speed, we are a shadow of the team we could be if we were motivated and well managed
 
Forget formations for a second, the least you expect and rightly demand is a personal responsibility from each and every one is them, players, coaches and manager to give it 100% every week.

It is simply not happening.

There is an awful lot of people wanting to completely absolve the players of any blame, despite for some of them this isn't the first time they've all but downed tools. It's always easier to blame the manager, or the board, or the referees or whatever else you want, but at some point the players have to take a hell of a lot of responsibility as well. About half of the team we currently have were here and downed tools in Mancini's third full year and now the same problems are happening in Pellegrini's third year. Now I agree that Pellegrini seems to have lost his head to a large extent, but the players have to take responsibility as well, they are the constant between both very similar looking collapses of standards.

Can they simply not be motivated by managers after a certain amount of time? Do they constantly need new voices and new ideas to remain interested? I don't know, but the supposed "leaders" in our dressing room have let the standards of this club fall off a cliff for the second time under their watch now and it needs looking at.

Leaders in the dressing room are great, but you need leaders on the pitch, but we didn't have any today, that is a serious issue, and it was obvious at kick off.
