This is his third season with us. Yet he is still making the same stupid mistakes. He is either failing to prepare properly, thus by default he is preparing to fail. Or maybe he is just incompetent,age related.
Against Villa bottom of the league, Pellegrini went for a midfield 3, and we played most of that game, without a recognized striker when Bony went off injured. And he decided not to replace like for like. He later said his reasoning for this, was that Iheanacho was not suited in the lone striker role. What role did Iheanacho play yeserday afternoon for us ? we ground out a draw, in one of the dourest games of the season. It was a shocking negative display. Against the Rags, I could sort of understand his game plan, A point away at a title rival with injuries,could be valuable at the end of the season .
Today, here we go again 50,000 of us thought prior to kick off, when reading the team sheet. That dreaded combination of YaYa, and Fernando, in his midfield 2.To face a Liverpool side managed by Klopp. Every City fan in the stadium knew what was coming,except our own fucking manager. We knew they would pack the midfield, harass us off the ball with their energy. We all know how Dortmund play under Klopp. What was going through Pellegrini mind with that team selection. This is a serious question ?
We go from being ultra cautious, and negative, away at Villa bottom of the league. To a ridiculously stupid system, against a Liverpool side with a manager we know much about, from all our meetings with Dortmund. It plays out exactly as we all fully expected, over run in midfield ,Ya Ya blowing out of his arse, strolling around the pitch not tracking back. In effect we were left with a midfield 1 of Fernando losing all his composure, If that was not bad enough, once our solitary midfielder was over run, the last line of our defense was Demichelis, and Mangala. Demichelis last game saw Spurs shaft us by 4 goals, Mangala is useless, unless he is along side a decent defender like Kompany, or Otamandni.We know this. But the Engineer thought today was a good idea for this pairing .3-0 down in 30 + minutes
this also irks me about Pellegrini.. Within half an hour, it was obvious to each and everyone one of us, we were up shit creek without a paddle.3-0 down. He was sat there looking shell shocked. We should have been 5-0 down at half time, except for Liverpool poor finishing. He still waited until half time to make any changes, I mean seriously. What was that about. Even then he made things worse. Today could have been like Boro away under Sven. It was that shocking.
I could not believe he was so incompetent with that formation today. It was actually criminal. Not the first time he has done this to us either. His obsession with a midfield 2 has cost us many times before. How many more games before he learns, if ever.
Alarmingly he said he doesn't know what went wrong today after the game. And would start the same 11 again.
I think our form is concerning enough for us to be already making contingency plans for right now. We have put all our Eggs in the Guardiola Basket. We have already lost out on Klopp, with our Guardiola obsession. If he Stays at Bayern, and then goes to the Rags in 2017/2018 we are going to look like complete chumps. We have only 3 wins in our last 8 Premiership games. Our form this season has not been great.Good performances have been few, and far between. My point here is our obsessing with a manager who might never even come. And writing this season off under Pellegrini as a transitional one, might even cost us our top 4 place. If Guardiola is not coming next season, there is an argument in my eyes, to get rid of Pellegrini and get Ancelottii in before our season ends in disaster. We need to know where we stand with Guardiola. Keeping Pellegrini could be very risky for us indeed.

You echo a lot of the views of other posters - but that last paragraph is losing it a bit IMO

I fear the top bods at the club will replace him regardless of who is available.
A massive game live on TV against one of the biggest teams in the country and he picks that team. That won't be forgotten in a hurry.
They will want answers.
