18-0 will do it for them - assuming the obligatory 10 minutes injury time, that's only goal every 5.6 mins. Time to panic ...

Otamendi emerges with no credit at all from today or the season as a whole.
Can't pass, gives away stupid free kicks and out of position way too often. A big disappointment overall.
In addition to spending half the game on his arse.

Don't forget Nigel he alone did the work it takes the Ferns to do together.Erm, the one that had Tevez and Dzeko supporting Aguero, rather than Bony and Nacho, and Gaz Baz, Lescott, a fit Kompany and a mobile Ya Ya

Haha, mate, that is pretty much the conversation I've just had. Felt like throwing the TV through the fucking window.
I disagree about Nacho though, it was only a game as bad as last week against Arsenal, lol - he's got great promise but just so raw at the moment.
I think Nacho has been mismanaged. He's too young for us to be relying on him from the start in big games. He was a player to bring on for 20-30 mins.

Our owner must have known we had Pep in the bag and I respect the decision that they thought Pellegrini deserved to see out his final year and they trusted him to do so comfortably I suspect. I think scraping 4th on the final day of the season was not in their thinking as they probably thought a good talking to after last season and what he achieved in his first was enough to trust him.
I think this season has brought 2013-2014 into perspective as many of the character traits which have failed us over the last two seasons were present as far back as then. Many spotted it back then but many more missed it, but as the months passed by and turned into seasons it's all became glaringly clear we were tactically regressing from day one.
He's gone now, but some how I feel the polarised opinions of his tenure will continue to cause debate and divide.
Anyone that knows their football knows that the last 18 months have been unacceptable. But a quality manager can even make a difference with the same players. Just look at the impact Klopp has had a Lpool.
Hopefully Pep will clear out the deadwood and we can push on next season. But with the amount of players required the title may be a big ask next season. But fingers crossed.

I think you know the point I am trying to make, but your blinded by your views on him. Our squad has weakened over his tenure, Age, recurring injuries and attitude have been the main factors, but you carry on blaming the manager if it makes you feel better.
This place is going to be hilarious next season

Only half?

You forgot Rodwell, Johnson, Sinclair, Richards, Lescott, Maicon, Garcia, Guidetti and Razak. That squad?The one where Kompany, Zab, Silva, Nasri and Yaya were in their prime. Oh and Tevez. Much stronger than now.
