Were you at the back singing your rendition of the boys in blue?

That's right!

Your post confuses me?

Sorry sarcastic frustration from Saturday

Sack the whole squad

But that's the thing... it's not the squad; it's the manager.

The manager's job is to motivate his squad and to get the very best out of each and every player; beyond that, the manager must be strategically sound, putting in place a game plan designed best-exploit an opponent's weaknesses while countering their strengths. Finally a manager must be tactically savvy - able to change his game plan to adapt to unexpected contingencies.

In every single one of these areas, Pellegrini is a colossal failure.

The only thing Pellegrini has going for him as a manager, is that, unlike Mancini, he doesn't piss anyone off.

I've nick-named Pellegrini "The Demotivator" - because that's what he excels at. Substitutes players off when they're on a hat trick; pulls them off when they're just killing it and enjoying themselves; rotates the best players out when they clearly want to play. Hugely demotivating. And to top it off, he's incredibly low-key - incapable of sparking any desire to kick the opponent's ass.

I can't wait for Pep.

It's not the squad's fault here - it's the manager.

That said, Pellegrini seems to be an outstanding person. I applaud his continued commitment to our team in spite of knowing he's going to be replaced.

I wish him the best of luck at his next club... but equally so.... I'm elated that he won't be our manager next season.

That's dandy.....its just the line between sarcasm and stupidity is often a very fine one around here.

our performances are on his head..we've spent 100 million and gone backwards, we are getting thumped at home and cant beat a team in top 8...but he's a nice guy...fantastic. Whose job is it to get the team performing to their best ?..we're spiritless. We'll be nice and mushy and wish this cold fish all the best whilst we slide down to who knows where on the ladder after our worst season since the takeover. He should have been sacked after we got hammered by Leicester. Now we are in my eyes and on current form very unlikely to finish top 4

I just don't know WTF is going on. How many teams this season, without the quality of individual that MCFC have, have ripped Norwich apart?

I'm just wondering how much of a formality Tuesday is gonna be!

 

[Bluep*ss]

Just wondering - which was the better 0-0 draw - this season - Rags away - Villa away - Norwich away. We were poor in all of them

We are a big scalp ..teams try harder (more shame them) but it's true...we don't help ourselves by playing slow backwards football...we have the quality of players to blast the likes of Norwich away. Just a shame we don't do it often enough.

Best was the rags (we deserved nothing) worst was villa (we should have scored 4 or 5) Norwich hmmm well..

We look timid and devoid of ideas. For the first time in 5 years I genuinely don't know where a goal is coming from. How many blanks is that this season? Yet we play attractive football?

I said we had become Arsenal. Well they are actually better than us. They're easier on the eye.

Fuck me, watching the fucking rags is identical ATM. We are not entertaining. Not even a little bit.
