Willy has to play in the Final

He picks Willy, he has a shit game but we win anyway. And we all live happily ever after.

The end.
 
Yet another thread slating Pellegrini. It does become a bit tiresome in every thread.
Before he came here he was perceived as some sort of master tactician. Solid defensively and often using a 4-2-2-2 system with wide full backs, a solid back 2 and a wide man who often cuts inside.
In five years at Villarreal the philosophy served him well as he took a club from a town with a population of just 45,000 to the Champions League semi-finals in 2006.
In 2008 they finished above Barcelona.
In 2009 he went to Madrid with Raul and Guti messing everyone about then gets Benzema and Kaka parachuted in and sees Ronaldo out for 6 weeks. A lucky manager he most certainly isn't.
He then goes to Malaga and oversees the only second debutant team to make the last 8 of the CL. The first was in 2006. Villarreal, as managed by Pellegrini. Malaga were a very dodgy decision away from the CL semi final.
When he arrived at Málaga Pellegrini outlined his ideas to World Soccer: "to be attacking, to try to take control of the game, to take responsibility, to be attractive. There are small differences of course, depending on what players you have, but there is a footballing concept and a concept of spectacle that is non‑negotiable."
Like Villarreal, Málaga wanted possession, playing out from deep and pushing high to win the ball. Their wide men, interiores rather than exteriores, came inside to create a numerical advantage in the middle of the pitch. In the absence of Cazorla, players at opposite ends of their careers, Isco and Joaquín, took on greater creative responsibility: both have been superb. Every training session is based around the ball and Pellegrini listens to his players. Yet those who have worked with him suggest that he is far tougher than his elegant, well-mannered public persona suggests.
Sometimes I do wonder whether the players get off a little to easily. I note people hoping he goes to Chelsea. I hope not. They currently have players far better suited to playing his way than our players are.
I'm not saying he hasn't made mistakes because he obviously has but I do sometimes wonder about the level of criticism which frankly borders on the absurd.

I bet Chelsea fans cannot wait to get this tactical genius you describe.

Thing is Karen, we want this trophy on Sunday and it would really hurt if we came home empty handed. If he doesn't put out his best team then it's abit of a slap In the face to those who really want this and those who are spending what little they have to go and support them
