For me the time for him to go was : when he decided after a week that Garth Barry wasn't good enough! After a week???? How can any decent manager make this decision? When he didn't know the rules of the champions league! when he decided to play Garcia at centre back when Micah R was available and then played the plonker in midfield when Milner couldn't get a game! When he decided to loan out Micah Richards and bring in a far worse replacement! When he bought a load of average/below average players - Mangala (a joke - Sterling screwed him to pieces!! )and the hapless Fernando - for ridiculous amounts of money When he played 4-4-2 against Barcelona, got hammered and then played it again! Too many bad decisions from this manager over the course of two years. It's time for him to GO! I think there is general consensus here that it’s now time for Mr P to go!

Cannot wit to get a new manager.

Which is what happened in the second half, only one team wanted to win - we didn't look to bothered which is the worst thing you can say about a team. The manager needs the team working as a unit when we don't have the ball. He is like wenger in area's of the game like this. When we haven't the ball we are hopeless & Liverpool just ran all over us. V.k is having a car crash of a season, at least mangala was man enough to say that he has "struggled" unlike Mr k who hides behind the waffle. So some class vincent' I was under the impression that you were a gentleman etc. The team have gone soft - the boss looks like his number is up. We could be battered 5-nil by barca with how things stand at the moment. I see big problems on the horizon in the coming months... We must not fall out of the top four now which would be a nightmare for the club. With f.f.p & transfere fees etc I feel that we will be long shots to land the type of players we need I.e pogba, Vidal, Alba etc... What a sh***y week. Good to read all the different points of view, another good job Mr view - top site - no pride in battle.

Of course its probably not just him, there are chief execs and directors of football etc dictating transfer policy and the rest. MP has brought some calmness to the club, no reporting of players fighting and the like but truthfully we have not progressed, his signing have been poor on the whole, we are and ageing squad with several decent players in it who are not, sadly, capable of taking us to that next level. It might seem harsh but we need a bit of a clear out, and a new manager who will demand more from his players The Goatman, as you know has been saying for months that you should mark the manager as well as the players because frankly he’s not up to it.

As they should do. They need to be aware of how us fans all feel. That performance yesterday was atrocious. I fully agree about Pellers, he simply isn't up to the job. And I'll be as strong as to say his decision making is down to something far more worrying, it is stupidity. He defends his 4-4-2 set up and to a degree he's not wrong. But like Siamack said, you've got to have 4 very disciplined fighters in there. Yaya and Merlin are definite starters but they're both luxury players. Great at going forward, awful at going back. Therefore you need not one, but two James Milner's in there doing all the chasing, back tracking & dirty work. Nasri cannot play in the same 11 as Merlin. Play one or the other, with Merlin always first choice. Fernandinho's performance yesterday was disgraceful from a professional footballer. He didn't have a clue. If you watch his performance you'll see he just jogs around like a kid in a school playground game of footy. Never knowing where to go, just following the flow. He was left somewhat abandoned by Yaya but that doesn't excuse his positional sense. He simply isn't good enough. And don't get me started on that donkey, Fernando, I just thank god he didn't get to come on. He's truly awful. I think my mother could give him a race. So why wasn't Jimbob in there to chase down the likes of Coutinho? Even Lamps could've done a better job as he's no mug. We have a clueless manager who has been found out. I don't care if he's a nice man, who cares? You wouldn't see Mourinho making such mistakes and he wouldn't allow players like Nasri & Dzeko to stroll around like its a kick about in the park with their kids. Then it's down to our leader, Kalamity, sorry, I mean Kompany. What the hell has happened to him? His game has totally collapsed. His composure & concentration have completely deserted him. Why? I can only think there's things happening behind the scenes that we don't get to hear about. I'd guess that he's lost faith in the manager as we all have. My biggest fear is that Kun & Merlin could start thinking their futures lie away from the Etihad (as Milner probably is too) and we could lose them which would be a travesty. The pundits got it so right, Jamie Carragher saying there's something seriously wrong at City which needs sorting very quickly. And, of all people, Gary Neville, saying our midfield yesterday was embarrassing. It's sad to admit that they are both spot on. Can we entice Simeone or Guardiola? I doubt it. But fingers crossed. Then we need a big clear out of the dead wood. we've spent millions on very average players whilst Chelsea have bought quality. Mangala, Fernando, Fernandinho, Navas, Jovetic, Dzeko etc. We need to once again break the bank and go ruthlessly after the likes of Pogba, Barkley, a long term partner for Komps, a truly world class winger, even Cresswell, the left back from West Ham who's really impressed me this season.
