How a squad with a
multimillion payroll, suddenly is embattled lately, by a mediocre game in both
Champions and Premiership Leagues.
Especially when every
point of the League in play is very important for the chaps managed by Manuel Pellegrini
and by dropping points like that, the Citizens can miss their opportunity to
catch up with their arch-rivals the Chelsea Blues.
As all of a sudden this
star studded squad, is playing a sort of not so happy football, alongside
there’s a certain mood of a mutiny at Etihad Stadium- very well a lack of
ambition everywhere in its initial eleven.
Very well a certain
discontent, as many say it’s against their Boss; still the defending Premiership
champions from last campaign aren’t living or playing to their standards.
As we all know that
in the prestigious Champions League, the Sky Blues aren’t capable of putting a
good display of football very well make a repeat of last campaign statement in
this competition, by almost netting a place in the finals.
That was then and now
is the present seen a bit hazardous and at times prickly with the way this club
is playing and some of its players not delivering as expected.
With a loss against
almighty Barcelona recently and Mister Pellegrini, stated that many of his players
were at fault, we can say there’s a certain air of animosity at Etihad locker
rooms, by its Boss accusing its core of players directly.
Still the Citizens
can win the league if they can turn things around on time and as last campaign
they can repeat with another miracle that took the EPL Shield out of the Liverpool
Boy’s grasps.
The mood at Etihad is
a bit tense and needs for an immediate solution to remedy its woes that are
making this club its life miserable lately in every match played, very well trying
in their quest to repeat once again.
As rumors place Pellegrini
out of Man City and Ancelotti the Real Madrid Manager in his place, many things
can happen at the end of this campaign with a change in the helm of this club.
Something that many are
asking about the strict policies and discipline instituted by Manuel Pellegrini
lately, are justified by many of these players not performing as expected and
low performance ratings.
Separating from the squad
possibly on a permanent basis are Samir Nasri, Fernandinho and Vincent Kompany,
tells you something is not going well at Etihad and sends a message of certain indiscipline
or indifference of these players.
It certainly looks
like there is a way to make someone’s bed, if not the players making a certain
mutiny or revelry against their Manager in solidarity with their suspended teammates
after his comments the other day, of no to blame him but the players.
I do recall one
thing, the Citizens have one man that can be a good instigator and has been
known to make life miserable for its Managers, who else but Sergio Aguero who
got the ax on then Atletico Madrid Boss Javier Aguirre!
At the end, if this squad
starts making changes in the middle of the campaign very well see a new man at the
helm, it won’t be a solution with immediate results- but a sort of catastrophic
consequences can bring to this squad in the long run.
It will be a living
shame if this club starts a sort of debacle when it needs to make a strong push
to the top of the table and unseat the Blues and claim once again the Barclays
Shield, a mutiny at Etihad will be disastrous and not so good for the Sky Blues
aspirations.
