Interestingly his team selection on Saturday was slaughtered on here before the game and we went through comfortably whereas his team selection yesterday was pretty well received on here other than Savinho.
He got it wrong yesterday as playing 2 wingers plus Semenyo and Haaland meant we were always light in midfield especially when 1 of the 2 is Silva. He put Khus at right back to try and stop Viniscus but he's poor going forward so we lost a lot there.
I said a few weeks ago it probably is time for him to go now, I'm also as pissed off about the political stuff as many others but when he goes it will be with massive thanks for the best years, the best football, the multiple records and trophies and even in this boring year we've scored joint most league goals with Arsenal having played a game less.
I am ok with a cup and top four next year IF we play some football and players play their natural roles and we get rid of deadwood and bring quality players. See some fucking plan, that is all that I am asking.
I want to lose in front of a better team, not because of this constant scenario.
Exactly where i am at mate.
This myth that our core fan base demand Trophies is absolute bollocks.
Older fans have been brought up on the occasional Cup run and looking forward to Derbies twice a year.
One thing life was it was never dull excluding Pearce era. We had many players not technically gifted, but they always put a shift in, and we loved them for it. They went on the Pitch played for the shirt many became club icons. We knew we were only the noisy neighbour back in the Day but we didn't give a fuck.. We had what the Rags never had a true Manc following the only true. Manchester Club. Men and Women from all working class areas of Manchester.
When i hear some of Pep sycophants making out we are high maintenance it enrages me, are we fuck.
All we want is to enjoy our football, connect with our players, see that 11 on the Pitch are actually putting a shift in.
And right now that is not happening. We have a squad and a manager stealing a living, putting in 45 minutes here and there. Even when they play for 45 minutes here and there it is horrible boring insipid football. It actually feels like the passing for passing sake is to run down the Clock to the final Whistle. Let us do the bare minimum over exertion, just pass our way from the first Whistle to the last. Fans deserve full refunds this season for the slop put out on that Pitch. Players going through the motions. It is horrible to watch, it isn't entertainment is the product of a Manager who needs to be evaluated mentally if he thinks that is easy on the Eye to watch.3 Seasons of decline. Our last Title win it was already evident his brand of football was in decline.
Last Season he should have tried to evolve his game. He didnt, his arrogance came through, only his style was the way, and it was evident it wasn't any more.
So we have had 2 full Seasons of rinse and repeating a style that is so yesterday. At the same time thrown in to the mix i think heis losing it mentally. I have wondered once or twice if he has deliberately stitched us up in some games to punish us fans for his mood swings. That Derby at the Swamp springs to mind where he inexplicably made the Rags look like peak Real Madrid. At the time the Rags were Dog shit and only threat came from counters we could have been 5-0 down at half time. It defied belief how he left the midfield wide open. Ironically it was a bit similar to Madrid away last Tuesday. Yesterday after the game at Werst Ham his sarcastic laughing telling the press they can criticize him now ,wtf was that about ?.Always about him. I wish someone would have asked him why they only creative player in the squad Cherki can not get on the pitch and start in a must win game .
I just want to go back to enjoying the football and being being entertained again.
Right now opening a tin of magnolia paint and staring at it for 90 minutes is preferable.
If it means clearing out the dead wood including Manager and 2 years rebuilding and trying something different i am happy.
City fans don't need instant gratification.
Pulling in 30,000 dies hard fans in Division 2 should anyone that.
