Considering our abject point tally against the top 8 this season I would take the point all day long.Even more depressingly, I'd probably take that at the moment.

Poppycock!I am done with this manager.
Maybe he's making it easier for his next side "Zenit" to compete next season. Very likely he won't have to face "Manchester City Football Club"
A Job well executed in my opinion!!! Great statergy.
Manager does take blame but to say it's pointless not criticising the players is, IMO, so far off the markPointless criticising the players. When a team performs as poorly as we do on such a consistent basis, there is only one guy responsible and that's the Manager. The only other thing to say is hopefully after that performance we can cut out all the player interviews to the press on how we can still win the league. Vinnie in particular should keep his gob shut to the press until our performances warrant saying something. I wonder what tactical master stroke Manuel will pull against Manure next week. His handling of the Bony/Kelechi situation has the potential to damage both players. 'Right son, I know there's only 10 minutes left and the Premier league is at stake, but you can still win the game for us. Oh, no pressure like....
Whatever you say about a player, the manager is responsible for putting them on the pitch. What is the point of me saying Bony is shit when it's obvious to everyone except our manager that we don't play to his strengths, he is devoid of confidence and he doesn't look fit. But Pellers plays him in front of our brightest prospect anyway. Or should I criticise David because he is being played out of position with a persistent ankle injury. Should I criticise the full backs throw ins when it's clear our manager doesn't bother to coach set pieces. the defence played ok yesterday so any criticism should be levelled at our attacking play. Fernando played deep so we lined up against Norwich with Fernandinho in the centre and Jesus and David wide. Fernandinho didn't look great yesterday, is that his fault or the fact that he had to look after three Norwich midfield might of put him off his stroke a little. So should I say he had a shit game? Overall, we look devoid of ideas and short of energy. Our manager believes that's the responsibility of the players. I believe it's his responsibility. If you don't train at intensity, how the hell can you expect to play at intensity. Check out any YouTube of our training regime and then check out the same with Pep. We have a hugely talented squad and that talent is sadly being under-utilised. I thank him for his 2 capital one cup wins and our Premier league title but this squad was capable of domestic domination and we have badly underperformed for the majority of his tenure. I could go on but I won't.Manager does take blame but to say it's pointless not criticising the players is, IMO, so far off the mark
