Pep- dont expect......

[johnmc]

Yep,the Chelsea game was more the exception......he is usually comfortable and composed on the ball,not yet brilliant..... but plenty of time to improve.Ive said it before but he could be similar to Ferdinand with the right coaching and opportunity.

Doesn't look like he has that level of pace to me?

Ive never noticed his pace as a particular weakness but that might be because his positioning is normally very good.

Yeah you don't necessarily need pace to play that position if you have it upstairs. Just the Ferdinand comparison. Always thought his pace got him out of trouble.

I know haha. I'm sure pellegrinis contract is up 30th June so first week of July will be pep time ;-)

Sign some players with a modicum of determination. Determination is my greatest hope for Pep.

A little heart couldn't hurt for a team which had 2 shots on target in 180 minutes in the biggest match of their careers.

Look what determination can bring to a team that simply should not win anything, Leicester.

Obviously we can't throw money away, but if we could, these are the players I would send on their way:

• Hart (His aerial ability is painful to watch.)
• Clichy (Filler.)
• Demichelis (Pellegrini out. Demichelis out.)
• Kolarov (Not bad going forward, but a hazard in defense. A player with a pulse, but no heart.)
• Otamendi (Liablity with his wild tackles. If he only had half the intelligence of Kompany.)
• Sagna (Filler.)
• Delph (Sweet lord.)
• Navas (Fast, but crossing and finishing more likely to end up in a parking lot.)
• Nasri (How on earth is he still here?)
• Yaya (On a good day he can still make a difference. Unfortunately those days are too far apart.)
• Bony (A lamp post would statistically hit the target more often.)

Zabaleta as well, but might keep him because he brings more determination to our team even if injured and in a hospital in Argentina.

Mentally he is in the job now and that's all that matters.

Everything we are doing right now will have his input.

I'm convinced Sterling and De Bruyne were purchased on Guardiola's say-so.
