sometimes???! he’s a flat track bully with money, and an arrogant **** cos he’s won trophies at the best barcelona team ever and bayern domestically but the whole world has seen king pep to being a below average coach at top top level, and tonight is final straw after that lineup especially after getting turned over by united 3 times in season while messing about with team and lineup..
Go on then.
In a game against a side that was always going to get men behind the ball and hit on the counter why play Fernandinho, Gundogan and Rodri? He played a pedestrian midfield in the FA Cup semi-final and I kind of accepted it as the CL was close and it was D.Silva's last appearance at Wembley.
he's repeatedly trying to play the maerick genius who sees things others don't see, when the club is on the cusp of the Champions League. That simply was not even close to our best starting line-up.
You telling me that team wasn't good enough? Are you saying we didn't create enough chances?
It was on the players tonight with a special mention for the officials.

And the season before that he took a team to 100 points.
His plan didn't work tonight but anyone who thinks the team couldn't have fucked up had he done something different has not been paying attention.
Whatever was or was not wrong with Pep's team selection, at 1-1 his team were in the ascendancy and should have gone on to win but they got fucked by VAR, Raz fucked up and Eddie compounded it.
People say it's all on Pep but that is a frankly unbalanced view. City have had a lot of misfortune in their UCL eliminations under Pep and he had some with Bayern so it's probably little wonder he tries too hard with the UCL rather than just trusting to the usual.
We are in the middle of a rebuild, we need some better players in key positions. The manager can only do so much and he is not the one out there on the pitch.
City had four big chances tonight and missed them all - that was not all on Pep.
Yeah the guy who created the best club side (probably) ever is a below average coach at top level.
he needs to nip it in the bud and sign for another 3 or 4 years
No it wasn't and no we clearly didn't......
We did lose 3-1, you realise it was Lyon that won the match not us???
I can laugh now, I didn't at the time though.
About £400 on a season ticket and Mr Bean was in charge.
No it’s not. He’s here to win the Champions League. He’s failed 4 times. The club has sacked two previous managers for failing to win in Europe despite wining domestic trophy after domestic trophy.
This is nothing to do with the mentality of city fans. If you are happy enough to pick up a few league cups because we were in League One once then that’s your prerogative but some including myself want to see some real progress in it after Pep has had 4 chances now, more than the previous managers, more than Mourinho gets, more than any other manager gets at the super elite clubs who we wish to be side by side with.
Your small time thinking is the reason why he constantly fucks up year after year because he doesn’t respect the name of Manchester City because we played Grimsby Town in a league game once.
Manchester City in 2020 are a billion dollar valued club with an unlimited transfer limited within rules and as such should be treated as one and if Pep is not fulfilling his contracted objectives then he should go. There is no room for sentiment at the Elite level otherwise Joe Royle would be in his 22nd season with us!
Peps fault, yeah?
Probably "a good point for this football club"Mate. I tried to escape marys hospital before she gave birth to watch a Stuart Pearce nil - nil :D
I've loved it too but tonight can not be undone. When he came, he was the superstar coach. He was like Mourinho Mk 1 but the aura will vanish now. Let the club, fans and players down. It's not the first time he's made daft decisions in key games but this was the biggest of the lot.I've supported City all my life and seen some absolute shite! Guardiola coming to City has been unbelievable! Absolutely wonderful football, with plenty of trophies to go with it. Very disappointed with tonight. Very frustrated with Pep for not going for it but given the season we have had I never felt truly confident we'd win the CL. I'd love Pep to sign for another 3 years and rebuild this team.
