Manchester City

TBF i think the biggest issue Pellegrini has is that he's basically now a caretaker until Pep takes over, the players have checked out and don't seem to be working for him. .

Poor management from the club really as it's undermined his position and the players seemingly have given up the ghost this season.

Yep that's true but I think the issue their poor form (respective to their squad) dates back to last season too. They used to have a fear factor about them that has been slowly dissolved (even before the announcement).

Pellegrini bringing in Demichelis all those seasons ago was the first chink in their armour.

Frankly they should need no geeing up from Peli - they have just won a cup and they're in the hunt for two others and a league title. **** it they ought to be virtually self-propelled with such an array of gongs offer, not to mention the need to impress Guardiola

They're a bit like us in some ways with the vast sums of money wasted on bog average players however they do have a core group of players that are still very good.

The loss of KDB hasn't helped them as he was turning into a big game player for them

Yeah I like him. Rolls-Royce that boy . Great delivery of the ball.

I think He's doing it on purpose so Pep has to sit through the Europa.

Which would be glorious.

De Bruyne looks like a special player doesn't he? A really big miss for them. While he'll not be another Messi, I can envisage him becoming the creative fulcrum for Pep's Citeh.

Makes it all the funnier that Mourinho bombed him out of Chelsea.

Their away support What a joke they are, a pitiful always the victim chant on about 75 mins aswell. At least it made a change from the Steven Gerrard song which seems to be their only one. Nothing club, shame they're getting a new manager as they are an easy 3 points at Anfield every season.

I thought our fans were pretty **** too. Only songs really sung from AR were 'Manchester is ****' (how embarrassing) and boos for Sterling. Is that not what we complain about other clubs doing?

Didn't hear anything though from the away support I must say.

[redmike65]

At one point half the squad had a bouncy tune in their honour, now no one has. Admittedly its hard to be arsed when half of them are out injured and the half will be sold

Far from it.

The Manchester one, embarrassingly was the most frequent, granted.

But we had a couple of renditions of "Fields...", many Sterling / greedy *******, and loads of Kolo renditions. And deservedly so too. He was epic. Plus a load of stuff I can't remember.

I've sat in that end quite a few times over the years and that was the most choral I've ever known it to be.

Were you in AR this game Dom?

Yup. Right in the corner by the Centenary.

Someone is using doms account. Since when does he go watch us live and since when did he bother posting so positively about the experience. He didn't even like football for years.

Agree. He is normally like a miffed wifey
