After keeping the scousers at bay and saving 3 penalties to win us the match people will stop calling him Willy Wonka and start affectionately referring to him as, Willy One-cup.
Btw i was at the wigan game and was disappointed that joe started, pants was great for us and deserved his place. Anybody would look shite with wes brown and o shea in front of them!!!
Correct!Well... he won A double, not THE double ;)
'Great for us' FFS
Pantilimon dropped numerous clangers which are weirdly ignored by many.
That same year his 'performance' was largely responsible for us being knocked out of the league cup 4-2 at home to Villa. Clanger followed by clanger followed by clanger.
The following season we needed Aguero to come off the bench to save us from a Pants inspired 2-0 half time deficit to Watford in the FA Cup. Howlers all over the shop. He was then shocking AGAIN as Wigan knocked us out at home a round or 2 later.
He wasn't good enough for City, WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FKR SUNDERLAND and now isn't good enough for Watford.
But hey, he seemed like an affable fella on CityTV videos.
Have to look at this team.
One on hand, if Willy gets dropped his morale will be in the toilet just like Jovetic.
On the other hand, if he gets picked and costs us the final, the TEAM'S MORALE will be in the toilet and we could well miss 4th
On the third hand, if he gets picked and we win, everyone's morale is boosted and Joe might start to up his game.
I don't relish the manager's job.
Hart plays PL and CL and is our nr. 1. Caballero plays the domestic cup competitions. So to me it's pretty clear to both goalkeepers and the entire squad who is playing on Sunday.
And if we fail to win we can continue bashing our manager and 'his mate'. We do already, so nothing changes.
If we win surely it isn't because of the manager who still picked the wrong goallie. Still nothing changes.
So why bother ... ??? We can only win by pure luck. Unless Pep makes a phone call when having his usuall morning shit and tells Pellegrini what to do. Obviously with the latter obeying as he is such a stubborn man that only wants to play his mates in the squad.
My ten year old lad just reminded me how crap Willy was in the Charity Shield (apart from the 3 goals) and if you want a real measure of how bad he is look up the highlights of Melbourne City in the Gold Coast pre season friendly. Truly truly awful - and this is from me who still blames Margetson and not Pollock for our lowest ebbRight well Joe has been one of our players of the season so I fail to see why he needs to up his game. And on your first point neither Pellegrini or Willy will be at the club next season so I fail to see the damage dropping him for the final would do.
