i'm not happy with how this season has evolved, the so-called aura that is Pep Guardiola has left me wondering was it hype from people that know nothing about football.
But i'll make an excuse that its not his squad. from those he's those he's brought in so far, 1 has been great, 2 have long term injuries, 1 is struggling in a struggling defence and 1 is Claudio Bravo. So given the summer to bring his 'his' type of players and those that arent will go, if its the same this time next season with a team of 'his' players and 'his' playing style, then yeah, he doesnt deserve to here because he hasnt improved us.
emphasis on 'his' team and 'his' style ... cos i dont find him doing his job for City or the fans, just for himself. He hasn't adhered himself to me, so far, as a part of our great club like other managers we've had have done or tried to do.
I'll ask him to give you a call, maybe you'll feel better then. FFS 'aura that is Pep' what a load of bollocks.
First season with half a squad he doesn't want but had to keep as he's already changed too many because he inherited a squad not fit for purpose as the 2 previous seasons proved.
He's had to play 12 more games than Conte, Klopp, been decimated by injuries to KEY personnel (Jesus, Kompany, Gundogan), which have forced other players playing more games when ideally they could be rested, a back 4 that has the worse fullbacks in the top 7/8 clubs, a keeper who for all his ability has struggled with confidence.
The way he's got the front 3/4 playing alone has been exciting enough for me, we're seeing one the best forwards in the game spring to life in front of our eyes!!
This time next season with a couple of new additions at the back and probably another holding midfielder we'll have this discussion again. Quite a few on here will be eating humble pie.
