Nearly cost us.
Big blot on the copybook manuel.
Agreed.
Although only 1-0, we were quite comfortable and looking likely to score another. His substitutions turned the game around and we completely fell apart. Taking Milner off was a stupid move, and he was quite right to look so pissed off at being substituted.
Pellegrini is quite clear that he will not change his style of play, and the opposition know that each week. I just can't help feeling that he's so determined to prove to everyone out there that he is right in his way of thinking, his stubbornness could end up harming us as the season goes on.
A derby victory is always to be celebrated, but Pellegrini really needs to take a look at our performances and his tactics over the last few weeks and learn from the mistakes he's been making.
