Pellegrini Satisfometer

[nottsblue]

10 wins from 1st 15 matches is pretty good by Pellers. After that win yesterday were 2/1 favourites to win the league. We have a very good manager and world class team. I'm satisfied with what i have seen.

Bob on

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Out the group stages for the first time. Surely that will silence the doubters for now at least. How can anyone not be satisfied?
Our football is once again a joy to watch.
Well done Count.

[Ted Hughes]

Well the defence is still a total mess ( some of that is individual stuff tbf) & without 100% improvement in that area, a fully engaged Bayern or Barca, or maybe even a PSG or Juve, will hand us our bollocks on a platter, but so many other things have improved so much, & the way we play football, is the way football should be.

I don't know if it's enough to win us stuff this season, although I think it probably is, but either way, enough is enough, this is what I've been asking for & he's doing it, so fuck it, I'm upgrading to 'satisfied'.

[kinkylola]

bit mystified by the 12 highly dissatisfied, but I'm going to chalk it up to they have no revisited this thread to change their vote. Otherwise, I'd like to hear from them as to why, out of curiosity.

[xavi6]

I've upgraded to very satisfied. I think Pellegrini is doing a great job and has been unfortunate with individual errors fucking things up. We would have a few more points on the board were it not for them.

He has us set up well and the players look to have bought in to his philosophies so it's going a lot smoother than I thought it would.

Plus he bought Negredo, who I'm happy to admit I had doubts about.

[Alioune DVToure]

Satisfied, on the verge of upping that to highly satisfied.

The one statistic that still worries slightly me is D1/L3 in the league, since we've lost all three of those by a single goal. We need to find a way not to go home empty handed if we're not at our best.

My theory about Joe's moment of madness at Chelsea is that he was coming for the ball because he felt the need to mount a quick counter attack, as we were still chasing the three points. Pellegrini needs to realise that when we go away and play against sides in our top-six minileague, the pros of leaving with one point far outweight the cons of giving the opponents the chance to bag three.

[Alioune DVToure]

In other news, Soccs has been pretty quiet since calling our manager a 'fucking clown' during one of his bleary-eyed reminiscences about Mancini.

I wonder if he's still one of the twelve (12!) members of the 'highly dissatisfied' camp.

[Foreverinbluedreams]

Quite amusing that there's 12.

I wonder if 30 pieces of silver could persuade any of them to change their vote.

[john68]

I wouldn't take the Highly dissatisfieds too seriously, I think it'sprobably members who have simply overlooked the thread and failed to update their vote. I'd be surprised at any other reason.

It's a progressive poll and there is no reason to be dissatisfied at the way things are panning out. We play good football, it's entertaining and the only doubt remains with our defence. As we have seen a dramatic improvement in attacking flair and goals scored, I am hopeful that The Count will at some point turn his thoughts to our goals against and we should see some improvement there too.

We wait and see.

[Slim]

That's pretty much my standing right now.

We can be so much better than we are defensively, just a matter of finding the balance.

I just upgraded from sitting on the fence to satisfied. Very satisfied is quite some way away though. The gaffer needs to get the defence working first. I also woof like to see an unbeaten run in the league, putting some pressure on Arsenal and widening the gap to the rags. It's almost criminal that we're not more than two points ahead of them, considering how poor they have been and considering that we got three points off of them.

I think you're barking mad.

Just to confirm then ;) I haven't changed my opinion yet, as we still haven't been convincing away from home in the Prem against 'weaker' oppo. It looks like we are going the right direction I will give it that, but then we keep seeing a slip into the land of complacency or something. Against bigger teams we seem fine attitude wise, just defensive slips. Set up looks better too, but I want to see a couple of convincing away performances v lesser oppo before i am prepared to relax my stance.
It is no good going and ripping the rags a new one if a week later we go and get turned over by Cardiff, I want to see that has changed.

highly satisfied
our attack makes me moist
our defence, or the lack of it, keeps this place alive

So if we can draw or beat Sunderland, our bogey team for the past couple of seasons, will that be enough to sway you?

Hahaha very good!

I've not yet voted, I'm on the fence. I think I'm satisfied now that he dropped Joe and got the swashbuckler out of our defence.

If:
Kompany comes back and stays fit
Clichy sorts his form out and
One of the two keepers just performs decently

I think we should smash the league. It's clearly starting to come together. No stupid African cup of nations to derail us post Xmas. The defence will I think come good and if needed we should buy a new defender or two at new year. Otherwise zero changes or new faces needed IMO.

No he will have another excuse. Probably that Sunderland are in such bad form that they just don't count.

We have actually just beaten West Ham, CSKA, & Newcastle away from home amongst 4 away games in a row. A reasonable test of that theory I would have thought.

Sunderland are always in poor form when we play them at the Stadium of Light, however, they somehow manage to pull a very undeserved rabbit out of the hat against us.

They will be bouyed by the win last night as well

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

I'm very satisfied. I can see where we're headed and I fully expect us to get there. Happy days.
