What is wrong?

We don't have any reserves we can rely on.
We don't have any creative midfield players bar silva.
I think we should have gone for Erikson in the summer because Silva's creative on the left and Erikson's creating in the centre. We need a creative CM in Jan to open up teams who put 11 players behind the ball and a striker to replace Dzeko. A certain Polish striker who has opened up the possibility of coming to city springs to mind.

Mysterious isnt it? We have gone from having one of the best back lines in the league whilst losing away games really from the type of bad luck which had plagued the club before the FA cup win a few years back. This "engineer" has broken are defense with the Players getting all these injuries from absolutely nowhere. We could be 8th by the end of the day, 90 million British Pound Sterling spent and out of the title race in November.

So what if we are scoring more goals and are in the last 16 of the European Cup. Viktoria Plzen would struggle in the championship and the racists would have got a point if it wasnt for Joe Hart. Who has subsequently been dropped when he was dubbed the best goalie in the world by the media and fans at our club after his performance against Dortmund over 1 year ago!

We won the league once on goal difference in the most extraordinary of circumstances which probably wont repeat itself for another hundred years for Manchester City FC or another rival club. It doesnt matter if we are scoring 7 goals against Norwich were 7th in the league and are luck away from home has seemed to have vanished. Its the most consistent team that wins the premiership and we are worryingly of the pace in that department.

You either love or hate him or whatever but Mancini was a lucky manager who would have got us out of Group D with us breathing up Arsenals throats.

Pellegrini is the Brian Clough of Spain and is a top manager! He is in the wrong job and doesnt know how to manage an already established top side and neither could Mr Clough. Mourinho love him or hate made an excellent observation to the spanish press when describing Manuels decision to manage Malaga after having managed Real Madrid. Manuel can turn shit to gold but cant gold into platinum and i feel City are going to suffer because of that.

We have made the mistake of a lifetime sacking Roberto Mancini. He was pitch perfect for this club and would have been our Sir Alex!
 
Much like under Mancini we play in a way that requires the entire first 11 to be on the pitch. Every player is integral to the way we try to play, leave just one out and we lose that specific skill from the entire team.
 
Manager makes too many unnessesary changes at the back. Why make 3
Today when one would have been enough?

As someone else said, creatively we rely too heavily on Silva.

Defensively we rely too heavily on kompany.

Navas either has to start and build some form or might as well pack him off to Spain. Surely that game was made for him.

We can't play two up away.

Pellegrini needs to start thinking more about how to grind out results away from home.

Away form is a disgrace...
 
Teams aren't scared of us and they know they can beat us. We are very one dimensional and we defend so high up the pitch that every team knows that they can hit us on the break. Plus I've never seen any defence change as many times as ours does.
 
Some of our players only turn up for the big games away from home, several of our second team are just not up to the level required. I thought we were to play a pressing game high up the pitch, to do that everyone needs to work hard and close the ball down quickly. Not seem us do this in an away game other than Chelsea. The players need a good kick up the backside after today.
 
I'll tell you what's wrong. If Yaya doesn't turn up the rest of the team can't be arsed either
