Why play a high defensive line, with midfielders who won't track runners, against a high pace counter attacking team like Southampton? Watching Samir, who I support, jogging back was embarrassing.
The team work ethic is at fault here and that is cultural. I expect big changes in that area.
Our fitness levels seem to be the worst in the league. Either everyone else is on banned substances or nobody has been cracking the whip with regards to our player's lifestyles and fitness regimes.
We look like we're taking part in Soccer Aid most of the time.
This isn't football manager. A few players will leave and a few will come in. Realistically I expect at most 4-5 in, given the squad we have I would expect about the same number out, and as long as Bony out I'll be happy.

It's not a case of no longer good enough for most, it's more a case of not good enough in the first place.
We are masters at signing players who have never been or ever will be good enough for this level whilst criminally overlooking the talent we have produced from within.
The reason the likes of Kolorov started yesterday was because Pellegrini has not brought through players who have enough game time to come in and do a job.
It's his biggest failing. Over reliance on players that time and time again let him down. Bony, Kolorov, Delph and Demichellis being the prime examples from yesterday. How Kolorov and Delph got a game after the shit they produced at Newcastle is beyond me.

Demichelis, Zaba, Kolarov, Yaya, Delph, Fernando, Nasri, Bony and Navas are no longer good enough for us.
In fact, some never have been good enough.

From yesterdays line up only Hart, Nacho, Fernandinho and Sterling should feature next season. The rest are either (Way...) past their best or not up to the required standard.
Still hopeful for Wednesday but happy to see the end of this season...

This is what is likely to happen except Delph would get another season. Two full backs, Denayer for Demichellis, CM for Yaya, a forward for Bony. This would already fill our CL/EL quota, wouldn't it ? Nacho doesn't qualify as Club grown next season also I believe.Caballero, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Demichelis, Delph, Toure and Bony.
Kolarov, Delph, Bony, sterling,nasri,zabaleta,naval, based on yesterday's performance against Southampton are not good enough for city anymore ,move them all on for better upgrades,it's not just losing that hurts,but the way you lose.

Sad to watch zaba yesterday. Some of the players don't care kolarov, bony some are just relegation standard, Delph but zaba was equally as bad.
