[I'm With Stupid]

Nzonzi's shit on the break isn't he?

for the love of christ just bench kun. overrated, never passes, and is living off his form from 2 seasons ago. and we need to invest in a specialist diver the scum cant play football but they win due to diving ...

LOL get out

In the pregame they said Pellegrini had never won a major trophy

Is that true? No league, nothing?

How is this piece of trash still around?

wtf?
Milan lost to a freshly promoted team.
we have what I consider, to be one of the WORST coaches for any top team... I want him gone more than anything on earth

I was seriously asking. Pelle came with really high accolades.. I had assumed he had won something.

Nearly a thousand posts on a City forum and you're asking a question like that directly after a very sour match. I'm 100% certain you know the answer to your daft question as well. Just here to cause trouble.

Another dross performance. A disgrace considering the talent we are supposed to have in our squad. Yet to see it.

We're probably desperate to sign him now, fits our incisive gameplan.

 

[Rammy Blue]

It's very apt

No it's not. Billy didn't sack Bob, Sheikh Mansour and Khaldoon did. Just discuss the fucking game.

It was a reference to the game...

No probs then fella, it was just because you quoted me.

I agree though with regards the performance, it was fucking hopeless. What concerns me, more than anything, about MP is that (and I said this after the Cardiff and Hull games) is that he isn't trying out the 3 man midfield. We know what a weapon Yaya is when pushed forward yet MP sticks rigidly to the 2 man midfield. Strange.

Well I believe Pellegrini played a part in the dire performance. I disagree of it not being his doing. He was brought here with the intention of him being better than Mancini and I dont think right now we need to give a grace period of 5-6 games to find out because we all can see where the team is heading.

He has my full support as long as he is on the seat but there wasnt even a change of tactics and formation. yaya was deep most of the game and nasri was running around not knowing what to do. Tracking back that almost costed a goal? He shouldnt be there in the first place. pellegrini needs to turn things around because this team looks very average at the moment.

There, knee jerk stopped.

You are right we should have gone to a 3 man d. That saved us so much last season as well.

Too early in my opinion to be panicking, but we have looked all over the place in defence and midfield, and I am hoping this is down to at least the loss of vinny and pellers not knowing his best central midfield yet.

However we don't look like having a system or the player don't know their positions if we are playing 4-4-2 we are unbalanced because nasri/silva never stay on the left and come inside leaving a weak flank and Milner isn't a winger same Yaya doesn't look like he knows if he should sit deep or push forward so is doing neither, the players we have suit a 4-3-3 with 2 holding mids an atacking mid (Silva/Nasri) just ahead of them and a 3 man attack at present we look like bar the main striker the middle and attack don't know where to play and we are disjointed.

I have faith though that we will click together and win the league we are still the best squad.

very poor by city , if we carry on like this ....cant see us anywhere close to the title

only positive was hart...no creativity....toure is poor ...problem is his hype isn't allowing him to be dropped

 

[jimharri]

Not surprised by the flapping and whining. We were poor today, no doubt about that, but really with the injuries we have, and a CL game in midweek, plus the rags next weekend. The point and clean sheet will do.

Absolutely no need to panic or make rash judgements about the players or the manager. We will get much better.
