Gone Now/'Liverpool Moment'

[Socrates]

I really hope you're right but I feel the Pep announcement has had the opposite effect on us - instead of players playing for their futures under him, they've decided to down tools for the current boss (although you could have said that last season). I just can't see us beating the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea away and Arsenal & Rags at home - not on today's form, even though it was an improvement on last week's debacle.

We need to hold our own in those games and get at least 6 points then not fuck up in the other 8. That would put us in with a huge shout.

The difference is that when you play Chelsea, Arsenal, you know that these are clubs filled with very talented players and are more than capable , on the day of playing brilliantly,goingon the attack. Without resolving to the 10 man in the six yardbox that is stiffling the City attack.

I know it sounds a little crazy , but i really think City should kick the ball around at the back for as long as possible just to get these mofos to come out and actually try to play footy. Playing the long ball only works against us this season because Ott is clueless and MDM should not be in the squad nevermind in the team. Zaba is passed his sell by date , as too is Clichy. We need to hold the ball more in our own half to get teams to think they have chance to play.

That has had fuck all to do with our form. We have been shit for ages before the announcement as well. That's just a shit excuse media etc we use if/when we keep playing shit.

Yeah but don't you think the players knew anyway behind the scenes? Also need to take into account the fact Pellegrini is a truly hopeless manager who's been stealing a living for the past 3 years.

You might be on to something there. Do you know I thought that pellegrini had pulled the wool over our eyes in his first season with us, you know the one when he won all those trophies. I thought jammy fooker you're not pulling the wool over my eyes and then he got us into the last 16 of the champs league the following season again and I saw straight through it "just a jammy fooker" I said to myself. This season he won the group stage but I'm like you I'm having none of it just more luck. Some people eh? Seriously it gets on your tits. Still he'll be gone soon enough and if he does win something again this season we'll know it was down to luck - the jammy fooker!

What have the Romans ever done for us?

[Blue Since 76]

If Kompany and Aguero play every league game the rest of the season, we'll win the league. Sounds a big ask, but it's not that many games. Without one or both of them, it'll be difficult, probably impossible and Kompany is probably the most important.

I still think we'll win it when we beat Arsenal at home

Very droll

I have some sympathy for Craig's viewpoint, as I've always felt that under Pellegrini we have never/rarely been more than the sum of the parts, (perhaps his first few months are an exception to that view)in which case there is an argument that he never added anything more than any other mediocre manager could have done with the same resources, as the sum of the parts has always been the first/second best squad in the league in his tenure.

I do however think that we can still win the league based on the talent in the squad. I don't think we can win it with a tactically inept manager and a squad who don't appear to care that much. Pellegrini will be the reason we do/don't win the league from here on in, it's time for him to prove he can get the team to be more than the sum of the parts

I agree.

[dazby]

I'm stunned by the fuckers that say he has no plan b. Whenever he takes a midfielder off and puts a striker on THATs IT!! That's a plan B!!!! He's changed formations during a game. That's a plan b or even C!!

No plan B

[Alioune DVToure]

If we can take last night's form into Sunday and beyond, we'll end with a pot or two. Even Fernando looks to have found a bit of form.

Mine was a sarc'y one FC, wasn't it obvious with 'his first season' ;-)
