We need to rest players

[mancity1]

Nothing to do with rest.

iv said this before and il say it again. Why does any team bother with carling cup? Is it possible to win all 4 cups? We should always play youngsters in carling cup. Something which MP fails to understand.

We would not be in this situation with all these injuries if we ignored carling cup.

That's pretty speculative to say the least.

We have players who are carrying an injury that needs proper rest or some type of surgery to attempt to fix namely DS , players like Mangala , VK , Kun who are soft tissue weak and suffered with long term injuries to KDB and Nasri.

Injuries happen in training as what happened to Nasri and have happened to us at regular intervals ( almost one new one per match ).

We have to look at how we train , when we train and most likely bring in specialists that know how to manage players regimes that will minimise risk of injury for maximium output.

The sheer speed and physicality of the premiership has left a few of stalwarts behind and some of our new arrivals are for a number of reasons finding it difficult to adapt as quickly as we would hope.

Should get the lads over to Abu Dhabi over the Med for 3 or 4 days. Bit of team bonding, sunshine and physio sessions.

Part of me does feel for Pellegrini, despite him never being upto it, the injury situation he's dealing with is dire. But we had a January window to address this and went into the season with too small a squad. I'm fed up of the excuses though now, just want us to start scraping a few wins together.

Abu Dhabi, the Med? I'd get this bunch of shit houses training in Wythenshawe park. These fucking prima donna's need a wake up call and quick. They were a fucking embarrassment,they should openly apologise for that today.

The CO cup should be used for younger players to come through so that when the injuries mean you are down to the bare bones, these players can be trusted to come in and start a game. Pellegrini has been very reluctant to do this, possibly because he knows it's his best chance of silverware.

Think he also ties it to the idea of a 'winning mentality', and that fighting on all fronts breeds a collective spirit. It worked in his first season, to an extent, but Ferguson knew and Wenger knows that there is only so much football players can manage.
