Im in England for one fuckign week (go back tomorrow) and I've had nothing but shit from everyone about how embarrassing we were the other day, at least back in my coconut land hideout I can just turn off my phone ffs !!!.............Pellegrini does it to us every fuckign time when the whole world is watching us.

Fuckign still spewing...spewing because we have been shit for fuckign ages and I see no light.

Kompany & Lescott were our last solid defensive partnership but that was under Mancini, a more defensive minded coach. Pellegrini has no intention of addressing any defensive frailties we've shown now for far too long otherwise he'd have done it by now. It's his way or nothing it would seem.

The other thing we had in front of Kompany & Lescott was 2 hard working, tough tackling Midfielders in Barry & De Jong. Fernandinho & Delph could do a similar or better job but they keep getting switched around for Fernando & Toure who I could run past & I'm a 49 year old fat bastard.

On the goalscoring CB. Keith Curle used to score a few but he was penalty taker at the time, he was also a good leader/captain.

Said it before and I'll say it again. Would have loved to see Curle and Kompany as a centre back partnership

I think the leadership needs to be from the top, so this will improve when MP leaves as we have regressed under his "leadership." I think Zaba and Vinnie are good leaders. I'm assuming a new, dominant central midfielder will arrive with the new manager. It's hard to know which new players will be leaders without seeing them regularly.

Picking Zabba over Sagna was the rright choice imo as he offers so much more going forward. Kola had such a mare today that in a hindsight maybe Clichy would've been the right choice but seriously I do not see how that would have changed the game. (and before you start going on about Clichy being the better defender that imo is bollocks and it is just as likely that Mahrez would've gone past him as well for the 1st so that's).

I was talking about this on Saturday morning with non-City mates. I said if we play our FBs in an attacking role we'll get murdered. Sagna and Clichy would've been far better, probably not good enough, but a correct tactical decision. Instead Pellers plays right into Ranieri's hands. He must've been laughing his cock off when he saw his lightening attack would only have to outfox daft Martin and the Hipster. On. A. Plate.

As close to perfect that you could get for me.

we definitely did not need fullbacks picked on attacking prowess for last game. As was said previously our 2 slowest against the maybe the fastest attack in the league. Poor choice.

We also approach every game with the same strategy, and Leicester was perfectly set up to counter it. Complete mismatch and another lethargic performance from Yaya. Captain? Fuck off. If we could play with half the intensity that leicester have, we would walk the league every year. Tired of it, can't wait for a complete attitude change and shipping out players who don't/won't fit in, rather than making them vice captain.
