Pellegrini - The English Managers Syndrome

[hilts]

Pisses me off but it could be worse. At least we're not stuck with Special Agent Turtle, LVG

I hate to say it but if the turtle was with us we would have more points, the football would be dreadful, the press conferences entertaining

Same was said about Delph needing to start after 1 fantastic game. Then he promptly stared giving the ball away again, and left the defending work mostly to Yaya, as he kept getting caught up field.

Yaya and Silva play because they are 2 of our best players. Sure off form right now, but they play coz they set our team up and how we play. The lovely over the top pass for Aguero's lob over the goalie that hit the post. Yep, that was Yaya. Clichy tried it later in the game, but Aguero was called offside. Some of our players just unlock better. Yaya and Silva are 2 of those.

Yaya can still play that pass without being in a midfield 2. Silva should have started, then should have been hooked when he was having a stinker, and then shouldn't have been hooked when he started playing well and when we were in the ascendancy. Those are all Pellegrini's decisions.

He's a boring predictable fucking dinosaur,how about taking off Yaya who looks like he couldn't give a fuck and Navas who never ever does fuck all.

Beam me up Scotty.

Blah blah hit the post twice blah fucking blah.Blah blah 3 clean sheets blah blah blah.

They are fucking us in midfield with one player in Delph who is doing the work of two yet again.And this **** can't see it.

Get a proper manager in who will get more out of this squad.

Sat there in his fucking comfy slippers.

There is nothing wrong with Pelegrini. He is doing fine. People just need someone to moan about. Go back to the Mancini years, and every problem being stated now we're being moaned about then too.

Let's outline some of the complaints.

Why is Sterling not starting? Well he put him in today, and Sterling promptly gave up almost every pass to him
Delph should be a starter, Pelegrini is too dumb to realize it. Well he started Dwlph, had a stormer the first game, mostly stunk it up this one. Going balls away, running up field every second he got and leaving the lazy Yaya with the job of actually chasing Westham players all over the pitch. Eder Valencia chased down tackled by Yaya in the box, Kouyoute slide tackle by Yaya, Interception of Payet in our box by Yaya. While Delph was mostly too excited to join the attack. And that's why he doesn't play.

Why doesn't he sub Yaya? Same reason why he often doesn't sub Silva until lately, they are both far superior to what's on the bench.

Start Kelechi more? As much as I agree with this, I reckon if he messed up in one game and his confidence gets crushed, his development may stall. Sure I disagree, but I'm not stupid enough to pretend I don't understand the reason behind it.

Why can't he fix the defense? The defense is actually pretty decent. Concedes fewer shots than almost every other team in the league. Makes you wonder what our fans would be saying if we had the defense of one of the 18 other teams we are better than. It's narrow minded silliness to be fair.

So what's our problem then? Well that's simple, our best players are not performing. And most of that has been due to injury. I mean we pulled out a draw in a game we had no business being in because our biggest star produced. When Silva can't pick out a simple pass, talk less a magical one, Yaya isn't bombing forward and scoring magic goals, Kompany is in the stand instead of on a striker, Dihno on the mend, Zaba just got back, Nasri on the mend.

There is little Pelegrini can do about that. But I know it's popular to woman about him and blame him. Pele was second last year and he is currently 3rd (assuming Arsenal will at least get a point). The team that was 1st, lies in the 2nd half of the table, after being coached by a guy half of the Pelegrini haters wanted as Pellars replacement. He too has a star studded squad just like ours. We are still playing ok, they've melted away though. But hey, it's all Pellars fault here, but the players for Chelsea.

Pellars is a good coach. And will go as far as the talent at his disposal let's him.

glad you were watching the same delph as me ,yaya was head and shoulders above him ,but the blind hate is clouding some peoples jugement

Is the corpse still here?

Just curious what will his saving grace be when we are no longer in 4 competitions?

Think they're going to go with his win percentage stats from that season with Real Madrid where he won no trophies with the most expensively assembled squad in history.

 

[blue wang]

Precisely. A man with some football knowledge and common sense.

My question to you dax. Will we see the return of 442. And will we see yaya coming from the bench at any point this season

You forget the Christmas and of season parties

Yaya can still play that pass without being in a midfield 2. Silva should have started, then should have been hooked when he was having a stinker, and then shouldn't have been hooked when he started playing well and when we were in the ascendancy. Those are all Pellegrini's decisions.

Silva never started playing well, he was poor all thru. Had a few passes completed but did not have any impact and killed a few breakaway plays. But that's neither here nor there.

The key here is that Silva would have started for you me or Pep too. And for good reason. He is a WC player. Currently in a funk, but a stud nonetheless.

Yaya would have been fine in a 2 if Delph played half as well as he did last time out. He didnt.

Playing 3 CMs sounds good on paper, but until it shows to be effective in reality, its just a theory.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Didn't we fall apart around this time last year?

Can't see anything changing tbh.

 

[blueyorkie]

Can't wait til the old **** is fired.

If we win the league this year it will be:

a) a miracle

b) very much in spite of him.

Leaving Yaya on. Leaving Silva on. Keep playing Yaya in a two. Keep playing silva and kdb together away. Not starting Nacho. Playing Yaya at all.

He's a moron managing the best squad we've ever had.

Yes he seems nice. But that's not enough.

No need for that, I'm the same age as MP
