The battle for 4th place

[City_Sean]

We can, i agree but some man management and leadership is needed from Khaldoon and Txiki.

They wont sack Pellegrini but they must have a word and demand that certain things change immediately.

I agree. It's time for everyone at the club to earn their coin, the manager, chairman, Txiki etc.

What pisses me off is that at the start of the season I would have argued that (on paper) we had the best squad Manchester City FC have ever had. Even if you don't quite agree with that, it has to rate (on paper) as one of the best, and arguably better than any other in the league.

OK, we have had a lot of injuries. But even given that, we are now in a position where getting 4th is far from guaranteed, with teams just below us clearly playing better. I just can't get my head around it. Is it all down to the manager? Some people would say that with that squad BFS should have won the league. That anyone remotely competent should have won the league.

Going pear-shaped doesn't cover it. I honestly don't see us getting 4th unless something close to a miracle happens.

I can't shake the Pep thing from my mind either, mate.

It would be the very nadir of Typical City.

Of course you cant. It's been said countless times he's coming no matter what. Even the bbc have confirmed it today, I take it you haven't seen it? Do you want pep to personally Pm you?

You're asking if the bbc is reliable yet admit you're worried about a made up story by someone on twitter?

if we continue with our current run of from , we will not even get a europa league place , dippers , rags , hammers and southampton are all playing far better than us , we have to win six of our last eight games to get champs league ,not sure where these wins will come from , and i cannot see the likes Pogba wanting to join Pep at a football club who has no european football for next season

Statistically 4th isn't gone yet. But the way we keep playing it is.

God fuck off bill. We had a near enough full team today except Kompany and De Bruyne and we got raped by the cuntest wankest United team in decades.

Are you taking the piss pal? Did you see the centre back pairing we played? Full strength my ass! Even still Zaba was on the bench could have gone right back with Sagna at CB and it would have been a far safer decision, doubt Fernandinho would have been happy starting in that role from the off. Also we had twenty odd shots, including the header that hit the post, Silva's pass into Aguero at the death that he snatched at, more possession too... but yeh we got "raped" as you put it! *smh*

We also dominated the game even if it was against a visibly tiring Utd team.

Nasri and De Bruyne are big misses. We had so much possession outside their box. Surely those two would have added some much needed quality. We also lost Sterling and his pace against tiring defenders would have been a big asset. Losing him was a big loss.

Nothing is going for us at the moment. But we create problems too by playing players who really should not be playing in high intensity Derby games.
