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

Football has evolved to be about the team with the fastest players and who work the hardest.

If the priority for Pep isn't pace in midfield, attack and defence, he can go for me.

Technical ability is a given. Pace is what we need.
 
To me Peps taken the team as far as we can go.
Barring a miracle next season we wont ever win the CL under him.
Bewildering tactics last night and many posters had written us off at 8pm, me included. Why pick Eric Garcia a man who wants to join Barcelona?
Why pick the slowest midfield in the world?
Why not just go for it with the attacking prowess that we have?
Why spend weeks praising Lyon a team that actually is not that great.
Pep turns into an idiot on knockout games and even more strange was post match he said the team wasn't ready to win the CL!
Not ready? Weve been in it 10 fucking years!!!

We need a new manager and new direction if we are to ever conquer Europe.
Can’t really argue with any of your points there,bar the team selection ( yes it was the wrong one)regardless of team picked I still thought we would win,how wrong was I ..
 
Haha it's a nice idea but Mancini couldn't even get us out of the group in the CL or win the Europa League. I'm not sure consistent league success but an average of the Last 16 in Europe would appease some here!

It's clear the mistake was getting rid of Pellegrini. Is Di Matteo free these days?

Apart from the last bit I like Pellegrini but a second spell wouldn't be the wisest of choices. Same with Mancini he wouldn't solve all our issuses and the players weren't fully behind him either.

He obsesses too much on the opposition mate. That team selection was shocking last night apparently Lyon were terrified of Foden. Why not play the lad then?

Very simplistic view
I get what you mean with pace we definitely need it in midfield
Our problem is our finishing is shit and we can’t come from behind very well
We then Gift goals at the other end
We score in first five last night we score 5
We concede in first twenty we get beat
No plan b just keep doing same shit
With same result

With pace all over the squad, we don't get beat in my opinion.

That's what Bayern Munich have identified and are building. A squad with quick players in almost every position.

They see where football is and has been headed.
Years of identifying how to beat tiki taka has lead to the Germans moving toward pace in play.
 
As angry as I am right now I would love him to sign up for another 5 years.

But however long he is here for what I really, really want right now is for the senior players like De Bruyne, Sterling, Gundo, Laporte etc to stand up to him. I want them to knock on his door and tell him how shit that was and they don't want to be put in that position again. We expect loyalty from our players yet KDB is 29 and we've just badly let him down when he's at the height of his powers. That cannot keep happening, you don't get too many opportunities at this competition and the ones we get can't be wasted against average teams.
 
Whose fault is that?

Dunno mate, I tend to notice it more when we get beaten, but it almost seems like a stick to beat us with, to accentuate the impact of us being beaten.
It’s also used to marginalise and downplay our wins, a kind of ‘oh, well that’s no shock, they have the best squad anyway, what do you expect, let’s move on’ type narrative.

Is that what you were getting at with your question, or were you saying you also don’t think the squad is good enough, and suggesting blame re our recruitment?

Or was it both?!
