Pellegrini Satisfometer

[Bridge'srightfoot]

I well understand your point Bridges but it is both pointless and nonsense. Which is my point.
Read my reply to Lee.
What happened last year (or any other fuckkin year) is irrelevant to our present situation and dragging last year up is pointless.

It really is as simple as that. NONSENSE AND POINTLESS

No you clearly don't understand my point, as 3 times now you've accused me of blaming Mancini for Sunday's performance when I wasn't.
About 4 people have now pointed this out to you and you still remain blissfully ignorant.

I do deem it relevant. As if anything it was a staunch criticism of Pellegrini that he hasn't improved our away form. That's one of his tasks this season and so far he's failing in that respect.
To justify his appointment, then he surely has to be an improvement on the last man, which was Mancini. And away from home, he's shown no improvement in the league so far.

So yes it was relevant. Yet I love how you were so, so keen to interpret it as a dig at Mancini, which it clearly wasn't.

really can't agree with you about that. Sorry.
It is absolutely fair (and appropriate) to compare seasons. It's not just about comparing managers. but rather comparing City with its own past performances to see if we are improving or not. How else can we determinbe if players, coaches, managment, tactics, or money are making an impact on our club?

Surprisingly (to me) comparing the same League games this season and last (where possible) shows a performance this year which is 6 points better in the league as well as better in the two Cup competitions (although the draws have been kinder).

My thinking is that if you are going to chuck someone out (whether it's Pearce, Erikssen, Hughes or Mancini. Barry or whoever), then whoever follows owes a debt; to be better. If they don't bring improvement we have a right to whine. We owe at least that to the professionals that have served us well yet been cast aside. Even the "clueless" ones.

Sunday's performance was a huge letdown. I fully expected to walk out of the Stadium of Light as 4 - 0 victors. I don't have many gripes about the starting 11 because it was strong. Even the defense, which is what it is, was stronger than it has been in games past. We do struggle without Silva's creativity but do we need Silva to get 3 points at Sunderland? Absolutely not.

There are some losses that are induced through poor management, some through poor player performances. I think the lose at the Stadium of Light was a combination of the two. However, Pellegrini's tactical decisions were less than favorable and contributed, I believe, more heavily to the end product. We knew that Sunderland would sit 9 guys in the box. So, when 1 - 0 down in the 2nd half with a monotonous, bogged down offense, I feel like Pellegrini should of had us counter-attacking at every opportunity. Why also sub-in Dzeko for Negredo? Bring Dzeko on for a defensive midfielder, etc.

Pellegrini needs to identify the causes of offensive stagnation and correct them. I don't expect us to win every match against bottom-dwellers (though, no reason why we shouldn't) but without consistency AWAY, battling for a top-4 spot seems pressingly imminent.

John, sorry to disagree with you fella but either you really don't understand his point or you're having a go at Bridges for no good reason other than to vent your frustrations. I've seen some good stuff out of you previously so I can only presume the latter and that's very sad because it's pointless (as you might say) and needlessly divisive.

I think....all in all...that the Count is doing better this season than Mancini did last season simply based upon the CL performances, coupled with our attacking panache.

Whether we finish 2nd in the league or 4th hardly matters if we don't win it. I'd rather a go for broke attitude, and end up 8th that pussyfoot around with a couple of defensive mids AND Yaya in the side with Balotelli up top fall over himself. You can't tell me that this year's performances haven't given you a big throbbing boner for the most part.

I'm actually pretty optimistic about this team, and our manager. We're in the first third of a fun season, with a lot of teams challenging and some good players kicking around everywhere i look on the top sides. Isn't this all we really deserve as fans? A: Yes.

cheers

Excellent post and sums up this season so far for me. If we cut down on the defensive mistakes we can have all this and the title as well. A big IF, but not beyond us.

I don't think anybody is anything other than optimistic with what we've seen of the play, it's the naivety away from home that gets to us. Teams at home play for their fans, expecting them to roll over, after they seeing the Cardiff game, is the worst kind of it.

FFS...Bridges...are you so fucking stupid?

I have already explained my point to you in a previous post...your post was NOT a comparison with Mancini, You offered fuck all for us to compare. It was just a simple statement, with no reasons, no evidence.

Ted is wrong to say he agrees about what you said about Mancini. Not because he was wrong with what he offered in evidence (which he did) but because there was fuck all in your statement for him to agree with.

Why was it a typical Mancini game? What particular aspects if his strategy or tactics were similar? What brought you to that conclusion.

Understand yet?...probably not.

Bizarre, John.

You're really doubling down on the pedantry here. I don't think anyone else had trouble understanding what bridgey was referring to. Let's hope it's just a phase you're going through.

I can't quite believe it either.

no but you're a fucking idiot. 3 times you accused me of blaming Mancini. 3 fucking times you accused me of blaming him for Sundays performance. If you understand my post you wouldn't have. No one else had trouble understanding it. Yet you have. It was similar to a typical away performance under Mancini. Slow build up. Lack of creativity. Little penetration. I've already given that explanation about 3 times but I guess you don't understand that either. And we've lost the last 3 games there in similar fashion. That's why is was similar. Yet you can't understand this. Inexplicably. And you accused me of blaming Mancini for Sundays performance when I was blaming pellegrini. Because he is showing no signs of improving on Mancinis results away from home. That's why is was relevant. other people have pointed this out to you. Stop digging. Either you're slow or just being a general c*my.

[dick dastardley]

well pelle came to city every one was unanimous that we needed a centre half with quality, Kompany atm is a creaking gate and the amount of time hes been out is worrying, pelle's team selections are of concern to me because away from home we look dodgy as fuck when teams attack us, there are 3-4 players that need to be shipped out if possible at xmas.
until we sort our away form out and stop fucking about with changes in the team every week wont get consistency. ok weve had injuries but the players coming in have been pretty poor e.g garcia, richards and clichy to name 3
For me pelle has a lot to learn about our league it may take time, but how much time do they give him to sort the shitty stuff out???

[john68]

Obviously you are incapable of understanding any deeper thought. Certainly incapable if understanding what I am trying to tell you.

There seems little point point in pushing you beyond your capabilities. Ah well. I did try....:-)

It seems no one else had any trouble understanding my initial point. About 5 posters have already mentioned that to you.
You however, are on a wind up or losing your mind.

Because you clearly, clearly didn't understand it if you think my post was blaming Mancini which you accused me of.
It was blaming Pellegrini for not improving on Mancini's away form. It was a dig at Pellers, not at Mancini.
I then explained why it was like a Mancini away game, the play was slow, unimaginative with a lack of penetration and poor substitutions. That's why. Many similar aspects of Mancini at his worst. Tell me that game wasn't similar to our last two trips to Sunderland? Apart from the timings of the goals they were fucking identical.
Please explain how you felt that was me blaming Mancini for Sunday's shambles?

It's not anything like that. It's a whole load of angry cunts who are venting by putting other cunts in boxes.

Same old shit, different manager.

Ha ha ha, nothing ever changes mate, but I wish it did. It is a protectionism thread in many ways as if one thing it's brought up to debate the issues then there are around 5 replies to the contrary.

The last time I seen it so bad was when Hughes was manager, which probably says a lot in itself.

Anyway, I'll stay out of here for a while, my writings can sometimes be seen as provocative. I'll be back when we've won our next home game ;-)
