本赛季一度所向披靡的曼城，是否会在最后只收获联赛杯？

在足总杯四分之一决赛爆冷负于维甘后，曼城主帅突然发现自己少赛三场还不如切尔西在积分榜上拿到的分数来的实在。

很明显曼城更衣室中最不能提及的话题就是四冠王——当然现在不必考虑这个了。鉴于周三要带着两球的劣势前往巴塞罗那期待翻盘需要太大的奇迹发生，佩莱格里尼也不需要回避三冠王的问题了。

周四开始，估计曼城的重心就要集中在如何追平英超积分榜与切尔西的9分差距上了。至少佩莱格里尼可以从赛程不再密集这一点上找到慰藉，如果不出意外的话，也就剩下联赛可以让他们争一下了。

诚然，穆里尼奥在英格兰的第一项奖杯也是联赛杯——随后才是联赛和足总杯。佩莱格里尼正在追随他走过的道路，但那些曾预测智利人将如同穆里尼奥一样，在第一个赛季就举起多项冠军奖杯的专家们，现在纷纷怀疑自己是不是下错了赌注。

照现在的状态，曼城球迷能否昂首面对球队接下来连遇阿森纳和利物浦的客场赛程？他们的土豪球队能否全取六分呢？

当然，在遇到两个争冠对手之前，他们还将前往老特拉福德踢场曼彻斯特德比。要知道莫耶斯肯定满心希望不用再给曼联球迷写公开信。

曼城本赛季客场成绩只能在英超排在第八，鉴于还有六场这样的比赛，要是佩莱格里尼不想办法解决这一顽疾，估计曼城就要从冠军争夺者堕落到争四狂魔了。

垂头丧气：曼城主帅佩莱格里尼在球队周日被淘汰出足总杯后沮丧不已

至少曼城在战胜桑德兰夺得联赛杯让球队确保了下赛季的欧战资格，但3比1的比分算是对曼城倍感奉承。

提到奉承，巴萨传奇哈维本周接受采访时对德米凯利斯的赞扬，让球迷大呼不解。O

可能巴萨的中场节拍器只是在玩心理战——这一点上佩莱格里尼貌似并不灵光。

但就算佩莱格里尼想针锋相对，德米凯利斯也因停赛无法上场了。

无论如何，曼城也几乎无缘晋级。事实上，卡拉格在其邮报专栏写道，既然已几乎没有悬念，最聪明的做法就是给大牌球星都放个假。

就在他们温布利捧杯后不久，就存在联赛杯成为曼城赛季唯一荣誉的端倪了。

可能大家都忘了，曼奇尼在曼城三年半的时间获得了足总杯和联赛冠军，但这都不足以让他保住饭碗。

曼城夏天新一轮采购潮还未开始，如果本赛季放进他们荣誉柜的只有一个联赛杯，那等到五月联赛落幕时，佩莱格里尼会不会感到一丝丝的不安？

All of a sudden Chelsea’s points on the board looks infinitely preferable to Manchester City’s three games in hand as Manuel Pellegrini surveys the aftermath of the shock FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Wigan.
+ G2 m$ l/ J/ I8 WApparently all talk of the quadruple had been banned at Manchester City’s training ground - no worries on that score anymore. And needing a miracle in Barcelona on Wednesday night to overturn a 2-0 first-leg defeat in the last 16 of the Champions League there is probably no need for Pellegrini to outlaw talk of the treble either.
0 S9 S8 \; U2 }4 `9 h3 aCome Thursday morning, City’s focus is likely to be firmly fixed on closing the nine point gap to Chelsea in the Barclays Premier League title race. At least Pellegrini can seek solace from the fact there is likely to be no need to worry about fixture congestion if, as expected, all there will be left to play for is the league title.

True, Jose Mourinho’s first trophy in the English game was the League Cup - then Carling now Capital One. Pellegrini has mirrored that career path so far but, where once pundits were falling over themselves to predict the Chilean would, like Mourinho, win the title in his first season on these shores, they are now left wondering if the horse they should have backed was the little one.
) [' w4 p6 M6 m0 J5 A# VOn current form, can City fans head into the vital away games against Arsenal and Liverpool brimming with confidence that their multi-million favourites will pick up the necessary six points?
There is, of course, the small matter of a Manchester derby to come at Old Trafford prior to those top of the table clashes. Even David Moyes must be increasingly hopeful that another open letter to United’s supporters will not be required after that one.
& r3 p- w9 q1 F) V) g( ]  z: ?City’s results away from the Etihad so far this season would only be good enough for eighth place and with six of their remaining games on the road, should Pellegrini not address that problem then the main priority will be a top four finish rather than the title.

7 s+ Y2 P, v( z' x5 y+ u, }" u6 iAt least City have already guaranteed European football next season with qualification for the Europa League thanks to their Capital One Cup win over Sunderland -  the 3-1 margin of victory somewhat flattering.
On the subject of flattering, praise from Barca legend Xavi for Martin Demichelis on MailOnline this week will have left plenty scratching their heads.
Perhaps Barca’s midfield metronome was indulging in a spot of mind games – an art which Pellegrini has yet to show he has a firm grasp.
But even if Pellegrini does indulge in a spot of tinkering, Demichelis is unable to play due to suspension.
  v! W$ ?$ I4 _3 l3 bEither way, there seems precious little chance City will be in the hat for the quarter-finals of Europe’s elite competition. Indeed, Sportsmail columnist Jamie Carragher thinks the wisest course of action would be to give City’s star names the night off with the cause surely already lost.
Little over the week after their Wembley joy there exists the very real possibility that the Capital One Cup will be the sum total of City’s silverware this season.
Lest we forget, Roberto Mancini’s record of the FA Cup and the Premier League in his three-and-a-half years at the helm was not enough to keep him in the job.
After yet another huge outlay on the summer, if the only addition to the City trophy cabinet this season is the Capital One Cup, how secure will Pellegrini be feeling when the curtain comes down in May?
