The heat – if it was ever off him – is back on Manuel Pellegrini who is now looking at games against Arsenal and Southampton to make it a haul of nine points from 12.
But the game against Wolves last night showed all the old frailties in graphic detail at times and here CandH contributors Saul and The Iron Man from Essex gives his reasons for much needed change.
Saul writes: “It was an expected defeat against a team in their second season in the Premier League.
I think all any football fan wants to see is stability matched with progress. At West Ham we’re seeing a little stability but zero progress.
I like Pellegrini as a man but I also liked Bilic too. That doesn’t, unfortunately, translate into them being the right men for the job.
I’m struggling to find ANY reasons for Pellegrini staying on, no progress, no tactical awareness, no way of getting the best from each player on a regular basis. It’s sad.
And the ‘Iron Man’ adds: It’s only a matter of time now.. put him and s out of our misery, why wait any longer?
He hasn’t shown any improvement over the last few games. One good result means nothing if we go back to being rubbish again four days later.
Arsenal on Monday – forget it nothing for us there!
As I said in a previous post this morning re : back to the same old ways “ .
It’s ludicrous for a club to rely on one player ; Antonio .
I don’t normally go for critizing a player just to single him out , but honestly , why did we spend £45million on Haller ? . If it’s Hallers fault or not he doesn’t Seem to give it his all , or is that just him ? , because if that’s just him we don’t need him .
It’s crazy how Pelligrini hasn’t been shown the door already . The best Christmas Present I could have is the news Pelligrini is gone . And that is a SAD thing to have to say . We were expecting and waiting for SO MUCH MORE ., But instead of being in a happy place it’s the complete opposite . Pelligrini is proving to be exactly the same as ALLADYCE & BILIC .
No changes untill the Fans get really , well and truly Fed Up . As I have often said on previous occasions ; can’t blame the Board , they obviously thought Pelligrini was a major sighning as we fans also thought . Looks like 65 thousand fans + two got it wrong .
We need to get out of this Quad Mire and the Chilean ain’t the man to get us unstuck .
Who is ? , well that will always be contentious , but in my opinion we need a quick fix and that has to be Moyes : Again . But this time let him have a decent throw of the dice .
Just to throw it out there !, a question and or idea .
Would it be an awful thing to put Declan Rice in at CF ? . He can hold the ball up , he can win tackles , he can distribute , he can get his head on the ball and gets shots off ! .
Just a suggestion . Not looking for arguments .
I like the idea but rice cant shoot for toffee and also dont see him winning against two burley cbs
I like the idea but rice cant shoot for toffee and also dont see him being able to out wrestle 2cbs on a constant basis
