The general consensus regarding our squad seems to be that we have the strongest in the league with many claiming that anyone would be able to win the PL with what we have available. We've heard from more than one pundit that we should be winning the league at a canter.

But then we hear talk of this squad needing an overhaul when Pep arrives. If we do indeed have the strongest squad then why is there a need for an overhaul?

Surely just a few tweaks should do it or are these claims about our squad being the best grossly exaggerated?

Add that to the best facilities ever seen in pro sport. A game or two of shocks fine we have been shite since the first 5 games. If anyone can explain it, I am all ears.

Just another stick to beat us with. We do have a good squad but when half of the first team are out for large proportions of the season, especially when the full spine is out, it becomes difficult to compete. Obviously not the only reason as we've all questioned the managers selections/tactics and, of course, some of the refereeing decisions.

The question is, 'Why aren't all these pundits patting themselves on the backs' as most of them predicted we'd be fighting for the Wenger Trophy?

And, as we've just seen, even the best pundits don't hold weight when actually put in a position to manage.

The truth is, we are the enemy of the likes of the Scum, Dippers, Arse etc, so we are reported on accordingly.

Anyone with half a techinical brain could get into the top 3 with our squad - Pellegrini lost his half this season.

Whats been exaggerated are the fuckign excuses with regards injuries being the main culprit of our predicament....we were shit from October onwards, well before the inuries, and well before Pep was announced.

We need to ship out 5 definite FIRST TEAM players:

BONY
YAYA
DEMI
FERNANDO
MANGALA

50/50 on Kompany to go or stay.

Well before the injuries?

We lost our centre back pairing to injury before the end of September.

We lost Silva around the same time and Delph and Nasri.

Aguero a couple of weeks later, mid October if I recall correctly.

We started the season with Clichy, Zaba and Fernando injured. And then there was Bony struggling to overcome malaria.

I think Mangala will get another season but feel that VK could be on his way out

And you have the gall to include the word "Exaggerated " in your post.

It means you have overstated the inury "facts" as a reason- we had enough first team players to overcome the one or 2 injuries we had at any one time from October onwards....Im not going to delve into who was available at anyone time but it certainly wasnt a justification of why we played as shit as we did.....next you will be telling me Pep was announced in September as well.

I didn't overstate anything you moron. You suggested our poor form started well before our injuries. I just pointed out to you when the injuries happened.

I didn't suggest they were the cause of our poor form, that's just you jumping to conclusions.

Put your fuckign hand up when you want to speak.

The caretaker has fucked up all season. Scousers at home, Scum at Home 2 days after they had played, the season has become a car crash.

P W D L F A GD TOTAL
30 15 6 9 52 32 20 51 = WTF

First 5 games of the season we were superb , then it slowly went fucking abysmally below average . Clattenburg v Spuds intervened and robbed us of 3 points so did another bent cunt masquerading as ref v Everton at home plus maybe another 2 or 3 highly debatable decisions in other games cost us points .........
but yes absolutely even with injuries we should at least be 2nd in the league right now chasing down Leicester , yep that Leicester team that runs it's bollocks off , is clinical , defends well and battered our so called world class superstar squad at the Etihad . Oh yeah lots of other teams that have the same work ethic as Leicester have also twatted us this season . Nine fucking times we have lost in the premier league thus far this season ...........absolutely fucking pathetic !!!!!

Let't not forget what pit of snakes our squad is.

Demichelis, caught in this scandal right now, Sterling, famous big game bottler. Don't get me started with Kompany, Bony or Otamendi. All the teams above us right now are BETTER.

The reasons are many, Pellegrini, injuries, the board,etc, but they are 4th because they DESERVE to be there. Overpaid cunts that have no spine.

I think one of our key issues is that pellegrini had a good squad but couldn't form them into a team that gelled together - he admits himself that he always plays his best available players, however that might not mean that a silva bony aguero attack would or does compliment each other

Pellers has been the main problem for me this season. Some of his selections are mind-boggling, especially when you know the tactics aren't going to change. I think there's only twice this season where I could say yes, he's thought about the opposition there - one in the CL and one in the PL.

My thoughts are very simple, he's took us backwards.
