What would we have to moan about if we won all the time anyway. I was so angry and annoyed last night but it is a new challenge to build a new and improved team. Let’s just hope the new players step up and we don’t see gundo or fern again. Quick point if pep really believed Phil and Bernardo were ready they wld of played. What is he seeing that we are not?
No chance as long as pep is here, gundogan will go nowhere.
It's a no from me.An honest question to all, do you WANT Pep to extend?
Calling Eccles a fella is nearly as bad a take as wanting Pep sacked.. :-)Pep reads bluemoon and may go as a result? Don’t get my hopes up fella:-)

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?
I think you need experienced players to get knocked out of Europe, Pep has proved this regularly with us and Bayern.

You can’t judge pep on the chumps alone. Take a step back and look at how he has transformed how we play. He has transformed the club to a higher status. He has fought our corner with cas. Pep has elevated us to super club. It is a hard perch to stay on. The high level of play is not as good as we have got used to and it is simply the players getting older and new players not taking their place in the team.
I have never doubted any of that. I love the guy. Not only would I happily have him sign a 5 year contract I think replacing him will be incredibly difficult and could send us backwards.
Doesn't take away from the fact he continuously messes up where it matters the most. He sat on that team and formation for days before implementing it. Some players miss chances or make mistakes in a split second in the heat of battle. Guardiola actually thought about playing that team and then went with it. He has cost us big time in this particular competition.

Are you trying to blow up the thread? ;-)How about seeing if we can lure Roberto back...
Superclubs sack managers after seasons like we've had. Madrid sacked Capello after they won the league due to failure in the CL.You can’t judge pep on the chumps alone. Take a step back and look at how he has transformed how we play. He has transformed the club to a higher status. He has fought our corner with cas. Pep has elevated us to super club.

Barca will be waving adiós to Setien and Sardi is no more.
I wouldn't want Pep sacked as that would be insulting to a man who has brought us great domestic success. Don't see the point in one more year. We've done that before.

But right there is exactly why Pep was so guarded in his team selection. We battered them but conceded twice and there was another few opportunities where they were a over hit pass or wrong selection from other golden opportunities.
I would rather Pep went for it but we all know our defensive limitations and Pep tried to mitigate against that. People calling him arrogant (not you) are well wide of the mark, arrogance would have been playing exactly as we normally do and expecting a different outcome to previous results against United etc who use a low block and then break at pace.
That seems to escape some people. Pep does not do these things out of arrogance. It's popular to claim that he overthinks things, and maybe he does at times but it's the fact that he thinks so much about things that has helped him to achieve huge success as a manager and will hopefully lead to him solving the problems the team currently faces.
One thing Pep demands from his team is that they run like bastards. That is about as far from arrogant as you can get.
It doesn't just happen with Pep but the number of times I've seen or heard managers slagged when a team they picked and that should have been more than good enough to win a game has lost is many. Sometimes players just don't deliver and blaming the tactics and team selection are just a poor excuse. Top class players should be able to adapt out on the pitch if they need to but they should also get the basics right.

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.
You want the manager to stay and the players to tell him how to do his job?

And trying to sustain a high level for a third successive seasonYou can’t judge pep on the chumps alone. Take a step back and look at how he has transformed how we play.

Do you want Gundogan to play every minute of every Champions League game next season? Because if Pep stays, that’s guaranteed.Yes 100 percent

No. I want them to tell him how well they can do theirs.

Which is exactly the same thing. If he doesn’t know then well that would be unbelievable.

Well then maybe he should show that where it matters instead of coming out with that monstrosity last night.

Discussions would have already taken place about his future regardless of the UCL outcome..Everyone involved has an idea by now but think next season will be his last here..He'll probably sign a two year extension just to avoid questions about his future throughout next season but with a break out clause next year then we'll announce Nagelsmann/Marco Rose at the back end of next season.

Maybe Arteta will have impressed enough at Arsenal to warrant consideration in a few years time, but not yet.I think there's a pretty strong chance whoever replaces Pep has no trophies whether that's next summer or after another couple of years if he extends.
Nagelsmann, Marco Rose, Pochettino, Hassenhuttl, maybe Favre. They will go for an up and coming coach who will carry on Peps work and maybe even modernise it.

Last night wasn’t a one off this season has been awful and plenty including myself said we weren’t winning the CL this year. His record in it is really bad it’s just a fact. I’m hoping that as he hasn’t extended his contract he wasn’t planning on staying. I am hoping he leaves by mutual consent and with our best wishes but we don’t have much time to find a replacement and I don’t think the DOF signings will help any new guy.
Hope I’m wrong but next season will be similar to this.
