Impotent!

I once again hate the fact that I can predict how miserable it's likely to be, but that ability comes from knowing the cause and the cause is what it has always been for the past two years... Pellegrini! His tactics, his team sheets, his motivational skills, his vision, his substitutions, his choice of players to back, his excuses, his everything! Yes we have got a few older players and lots of games. Yes the players are underperforming. Yes we are in a transition faze that is unsettling. But as I have said for two years it's mainly down to old yellow eyes and I am just tired of saying it. As time has gone on his completely stupid football brain has put pay to any politeness his mild mannered decorum might initially command. He's just a football fool!

Kiev on Tuesday was dull and uninspiring, yes you can say all we had to do was get the job done, but it didn't even look like professionally seeing it out! Silva marginalised to the wing again was the first mistake! I once again for the umpteenth time state HE IS NOT A WINGER! At the start of the season we played him in the middle and we looked much better, for: HE IS A CENTRE MID! So instead of Silva in the middle we have Fernando and what a surprise we look like we couldn't imagine our way out of a paper bag! We are 3-1 up playing at home and we need two defensive centre mids in 4,5,1?? Now in taking Fernando off and moving Silva to the middle most pundits would assume the suggestion is for sterling but again I beat the Iheanacho drum! For god sake play him, put him on the wing, Utd are playing their youth and they are winning them derby's!

Then we have more bad luck as the two players you just don't want injured with the derby coming up get injured and the two biggest under performers are forced on to the pitch! Up until this season I thought we had got more than our money's worth out of Demichelis, but he has been taken a season too far in my opinion and has been pretty poor this season. He should be the guy who covers Kompany when he's out with his experienced old head, but not this season as his old head is making slow decisions and the legs below the head are now looking pretty old too! He also hasn't been able to bring Mangala through, something it looked like Kompany could do at the start of the season. Next season we need to go and pay whatever for an experienced centre half who still has it and give Kompany the season off to recover properly. I have said before I would get Godin if you could and if he wasn't such a twat someone like Terry would be ideal!

As far as the game was concerned there is nothing else to say apart from in the entertainment industry when they are touting 35 quid tickets I wouldn't  pay more than a fiver to see that if I wasn't a city fan! and even then!

Then the derby with an unusually late kick off which made the pre match atmosphere all that more drunken, which I enjoyed! However once the whistle was blown at 4pm there was nothing to enjoy! We were awful! Set up wrong again, where was Zaba? Sagna should have gone in the middle instead of Mangala, or Demichelis for that matter he is playing that bad! Indeed the best centre back yesterday was Fernandhinhio! Also again Iheanacho should have been on instead of sterling.

They were no better, just took their chance in what was the worst Derby I have seen in years highlighting how bad both clubs are playing at the moment. I can't bring myself to go into anymore detail about the game, so I won't as it's my blog!

I said weeks ago in a post I would deal then on top 3, no league, no Europe and look forward to next year! I would now deal on top 4, and that's all, right now! However knowing city we'll now go and finish 5th but win the champions league!! Anyway till next time and the rumour I pray is true is Pellegrini to United, how amazing would that be, if unlikely, as they injected themselves with this mild mannered football poison!!
