Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

Everyone single one of us has weakness, and so do the great's, I think Pep's is self doubt in the Chapions League.

I said earlier, his Barca team that beat United at Wembley were magnificent, in my opinion that night they produced the greatest performance in the history of club football.

Compare that to last night, arguably we are as talented ( Messi apart) but were sent out waving white flags from the start.

An incredible contrast.,

Have to agree with all you’ve said. Last night was the first time I was really disappointed with Pep. I have to say as soon as I saw the team I thought “oh no what’s Pep done this for”. Not only the selection, formation but also looking at the players, apart from KDB none really made think “this is a great team”

How much of it is down to him or it is the Director of Football?

There seems to be a systematic failure at not our club but at all our feeder sister clubs as well.

We've produced one player (Aaron Mooy) deemed decent enough to be a squad player. Meanwhile NYC get schooled consistently by a club formed a couple of years later. Melbourne City are meh. Girona relegated. All these "CFG" signings are mostly garbage. Who is signing of on this crap and why is it acceptable?

Our youth system is broken and they don't get opportunities. No clear pathway to the first team.

Is it our scouting and if it is then why don't we just hire Dortmund's? Much has been said about Sancho and we can argue about that forever but they also signed Claudio Reyna's lad when Reyna was still employed by CFG. How unreal is that. They also signed Bellingham who's at least two levels above that lad we signed from WBA, Morgan Rogers.
 
Pep just needs to go back and look at his time at Barca,or even the back to back title seasons with us,he has changed his thinking on formations and football way to much,yes you adapt and improvise but maybe he just needs to take a step back and go back to tried and trusted ..

Personally don't give a sh1t about the CFG, and if I am honest I don;t like it, but understand some of the reasoning behind it.

The only thing that matters is Manchester City Football Club

Yep agree in part but there is no guarantees in football am just saying under Pep those two season will be our best maybe ever next manager winning a cup for many won’t be good enough.

I agree with a lot of your recent posts mate but we are nowhere near as talented as that Barca side. We’ve had squads that were but not currently. Only KDB and peak Silva and Aguero would’ve got into that team from our current squad.

But the idea is if they can't find quality youngsters or players for our ever expanding portfolio of mid table dross sister clubs then why does anyone have any confidence that signings for City are going to work out.

We're starting to lose a lot of club icons and with the exception of Sterling and KDB they are not being replaced.
 
His mentality changes around CL knockout stage games with high stakes. He starts to worry more about opponent, that Spurs first leg last season where we did not really make an attempt to get much needed away goals only to lose the tie on less away goals scored.

Unfortunately what we did vs Real to eliminate them is the exception rather than the rule.

For me its much bigger worry tho how Solskjaer and Wolves found him out multiple times in PL. Soton, Norwich too. If those teams can do it no wonder CL later stages teams do it too.
