The whole managers love affair with Yaya has cost us again. The debacle about him going will ruin the season.

But we were a whole lot worse when Yaya got subbed ???
So your point is ?

Don't know what the point is but I'd have subbed Yaya for Kelechi at halftime and left Delph on.
Mightnt have made any difference, but I really think Yaya is a twenty five minute a game man. And that's at the end when the others have tired.
I think he's past starting games in this league. The game is being played past him.

Absolutely but we can't pass or function when Yaya isn't on the pitch . When he is on the pitch teams just run through us which is why we have had all these problems all season . He is slow as fuck which makes us slow as fuck both going forward and chasing back defensively . This is critical to our failings this season BUT we were even worse when he went off today , no pace on the pitch whatsoever with Navas and the directness of KDB missing . I really fear for us the next few weeks with all the injuries we now have .

Yaya used to carry the ball for us like a proper box to box MF. Now he treats it like a hot potato. He's the best passer but as its so predictable he will pass it oppo just stands off.

Doesn't run forward, doesn't run backwards.

The polar opposite of what we need from him.

Why would you play demi who's slow as fook when sagna played great against villa? Yaya enough said, kolorov headless chicken and one striker against a team that has bruisers in defence, were at home for fuck sake.
Also I don't know one city fan that was gutted our manager announced he's on his bike, he's way past his sell by date along with half the team

We started with possibly 5 of the slowest premier league players there are today in Yaya , MDM, Zabba , Otamendi and Kolarov . Silva cant chase and Aguero was a lone striker so that just left Sterling ,Delph and Fern 1 to run there bollocks off = lost cause

The manager has take full responsibility for another total debacle.
Yet again a complete disregard of how the the opposition we play will set up and play against us.
It was obvious they would defend in numbers then hit us on the break.
Why?
Because that is exactly what they have done in virtually every game this season.
Only our Audrey Roberts of a manager, the walking corpse that is Pelligrini fails to spot it!
He really is a complete and total tactical retard who needs to be shown the door tomorrow - never mind the end of the season.
If the rags beat Chelsea tomorrow and we lose against Spurs next week then a top 4 spot is under serious pressure.
Mr Motivator will leave us with a place in the Europa League.
Oh sorry I forgot - we are still competing on four fronts.
Are we fuck!

When you are winging it and we have been, it comes in top whe the opposition rook up with a plan. Fair play to them today they had our number and confirmed the BS takes you so far. We are IMHO about to see the season go belly up, Spurs could be another game to confirm what we already know. No legs no plan b and if a team goes for us we get battered.

So what would a decent manager do for Spurs
1 get some pace at cb(k and M should be fit, if not Sagna)
2Get a functioning 3 in mf, two Ferns plus Delph
3 Play ya Ya in Silva's position and fine the cunt if he drops back over the half way line
4 start Nacho and kun
5Do some fucking planning

It's far from over but our defence needs seriously sorting from now onwards

We were embarrassing, the ref was blatantly corrupt. And most of us knew this was coming when we saw he'd been chosen to ref our game.

Fair play to Leicester and their fans. Top performance from both.

I reckon the cocacola cup thing is all we have left to win. League no chance, CL no chance, FA Cup we'll put out the kids. Fucking fuming.

Yaya has been my favourite player in recent years but if he starts another game in central midfield I'll shoot myself. However, yesterday his lack of effort was matched all over the pitch in the second half. Wankers.

Yaya's performance yesterday.

At least our match report is honest:

I really fail to understand Pellegrini's team selections why change our full backs after they helped get 3 points at Sunderland with imo a very good defensive display.Against a very fast counter attacking team he picks Kolarov who with the greatest respect to him is not the fastest LB we have.My point is if it's not broken don't try to fix it Sagna imo has been our best RB this season in fact it's a toss up between him and Fern1 for best player full stop.He should have left the back 4 as the one that played at Sunderland.

He totally cocked up the tactics yesterday - unforgivable really at our level - as others said, hence the board spending $$$s on Pep next year

RE: Zaba penalty incident - Dermot has had his say on Sky and says that 'technically it is a penalty' but 'the referee was right to give a free kick'.

You couldn't make it up!!

Did he offer any explanation as to why he was right to give a free kick?

Oh and btw are S*y showing the incident over and over again by any chance?

I couldn't be arsed reading any further mate as there's no explanation he could give as to why that's right.
