Of course not. But I have a feeling one or two "city fans" who have been extremely quiet of late will be making an appearance.

Come on. We always lose against Sunderland away. It's a bad yard stick.

Couple of amazing performances followed by piss poor. That's pretty much Pellegrini's thing and I don't think that will change. The highs are really high and I fully appreciate them but it will not win us anything. Couple of up and down seasons of this and he will probably be gone so I'm not going to get too attached to him. Just try to enjoy the highs and forget bigger picture.

So all in all, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. He is what he is.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I agree, Ted, but I gave Mancini plenty of abuse for those performances so no reason Pellegrini should get away with it. I wouldn't mind if it was one game, but Cardiff, Stoke, 2nd half at Villa were very similar

I wasn't a Mancini fan, but there's no link to Pellegrini and the results. A shit performance is a shit performance whoever is in charge. And there were lots last season and lots this season.

Well said.
Lot of people still harp on about Mancini and compare Pellegrini to him but his performance last year was good enough for sacking so no point and he isn't coming back ever.

Pellegrini has got nothing to do with Mancini sacking and good result is a good result and shit result is a shit result. Now Spaniards are whole another thing. It was their decision to sack Mancini and replace him with Pellegrini so only they should be j6dged according to how fruitfull the change has been/will be.

Unlikely i know but wouldnt it be brilliant as even the rag media couldn't argue with that

Achieved the target of Chumps League last 16.

Will get knocked out in the next round.

Title has gone and on current away form might just scrape into the top four.

If we do not qualify for next years Chumps League the s**t will hit the fan and he will be gone.

Doubt too many will be surprised I am one of the 12 and will be staying that way until we are back looking. Like a top 2 team. Can't see it being till we get a new manager who knows how to motivate.

Unlucky.
If we had De Gea and the rags had Hart, we'd be top with a 9 point lead and they'd be in 12th place - that's the difference between a 'good' keeper and a 'top class' keeper - 12 places - think about it.

On one hand i find myself in awe at the way he has us playing football because at times its simply breathtaking.On the other hand our defence as a whole has been nothing short of farcical.I'm growing more concerned that if we can't tighten up defensivly we may forget challenging for anything at all this season.To already have 4 league defeats is shocking really and especially hard to stomach when you look at how weak some of those teams are.I know injuries are not helping matters but i just really hope we can see a more settled back 4 playing together as right now the the defence is on a constant shuffle, its anyones guess who starts.

I am one of the 13 highly dissatisfied with Pellegrini and that will not change until his continual mistakes are corrected.

I make no bones about I never wanted him here, was happy with Mancini - having said that if a change was to be made it needed to be at least as good as Mancini or an upgrade and the answer was Ancelotti before Real got him.

We instead appointed Pellegrini who has no track record of winning trophies, and who in my opinion is a downgrade on Mancini.

We are on the brink of being out of the title race because to win the league this season, we need to reach 80 points and can afford to lose probably 7 matches - we have already lost 4 out of 11 matches and it is only a few days after Bonfire night.

The defence is all over the shop from crosses, general play, against any pace, counter attacks - the lot.
The protection the back 4 is being given by the midfield is woefully inadequate - this is where playing as a unit, as a team comes into play. Also the ridiculous decision to allow Gareth Barry to go - Barry made it clear he would have been happy as a squad player.

Individual mistakes have led to goals and Pellegrini is not to blame for that.

Attacking wise at home we have been very good, away from home - apart from away to West Ham we have been average to very poor.

Qualification for the Champions Lge Last 16 is progress yes but I anticipate Mancini would have guided us through the same group Pellegrini has faced in Bayern, CSKA Moscow, Victoria Plzen.

Carragher is spot on - he said, "City should be qualifying from an easy group like this." He went on to say how organised, solid and difficult to beat the team was under Mancini during his reign, every away game it seems like we are wide open.

I am thoroughly pissed off with how the season is going, really thought this season the league is there for us to grab it and boss it and we are fucking it up royally - 8th in the league after 11 matches says it all and just 19 points. United have been so average and they are above us for fucks sake.

Some fans may be starstruck by some of our football and rightly so but scratch beneath the surface and all is not well, to win leagues, you have to scrap, dig out results, battle when you are not playing well, both at home and away. This City team is nowhere near that at the moment if you compare to when we won the league in 2011-12, and until Pellegrini sorts out our defending, makes us difficult to beat away from home, we are going to have more days like this for the rest of the season.

In my opinion we won't win the league, and if Pellegrini carries on as he is, we are going to have a real scrap to finish top 4. He isn't the man to take us forward at all.

Without Kompany last season, Mancini averaged 1.91 points per game. Without Kompany & Silva ?

Agree with all but the last sentence. I would give him at least 18 months or 2 years before changing. He has inherited some players who are not to his liking. Let him build his own side
