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

We fucked up against Spurs by being so defensive at their place and not getting an away goal. We got a pen and missed it and then just sat back and didnt play our normal game. Yes we were utterly fucked by VAR in the home game, but that away game still annoys me and was similar to the Lyon game.

But it doesn’t change the fact that we were cheated, and that’s the point I am making, we will never beat the officials over 4 knockout rounds, never. Let’s be clear, a marginal offside was given, a blatant handball into the net wasn’t. Not rocket science

He’s still the best manager in the world.

But let’s not dress it up, that team selection against Lyon was absolutely diabolical and he was directly responsible for us going out.

He’s got plenty of credit in the bank so of course we should be delighted and get behind him if he renews.

But if anyone thinks he’s beyond criticism and he’s doing us a favour by managing us, they need to work on their self-confidence.

Agree with you, but the players shouldn't get off either, the keeper was shite, the defence was shite apart from Cancelo, the midfield was shite, and the forwards were shite apart from Raheem (who missed an open goal).

Not enough credit is given to Lyon and their coach who gave Pep a lesson if we're honest, but we should probably still have won the game at the end without the errors (at both ends).

Those Liverpool games still give me sleepless nights. In one 2 legged tie there were probably 10 awful decisions all in favour of one side. If one tie should ever demonstrate how corrupt uefa are, then that is it.

With the spurs one, we were screwed 100% again, but we should never of given them the chance to screw us in that tie.

The keeper made a howler at the end, it happens.

The defence - playing 3 at the back, which I think I'm right in saying we haven't played all season. Laporte is coming back from injury, hasn't looked in form or fully match sharp, played left of a 3 and looked totally exposed down the channel.

You've got a 19 year old kid with about 10 professional games under his belt playing in the middle of a back 3. The most important position. He's slow as shit and in a high line was left brutally exposed against rapid players 1v1 in a foot race when they knocked it over the top.

Then right centre back, you've got Fernandinho who has probably never played a single game in that position in his entire life. God love him, his legs are going and he's doing his best but was brutally exposed.

The midfield of Rodri and Blindspot, surely the slowest centre midfield partnership in the whole of Europe? Just constantly passing square and backwards and slowing us down even more.

That's not entirely their fault, there was absolutely no passing option out wide because we didn't have any wingers. Sterling and Jesus up front both being man marked with a spare centre half. So their only forward passing option was DeBruyne.

Not DeBuyne's fault, but it seemed like the entire game plan was for everything to go through him. So all Lyon had to do was not give him any space. DeBruyne without space and without runners is near enough obsolete. He's much better with someone alongside him, Silva, or Bernado or Foden, taking some of the focus away from him so he can find space to exploit.

Then Sterling playing down the middle does what Sterling down the middle does. It's not his game. The few times he did drift wide and run at Denayer 1v1, he tore him apart. If only he had been doing that from the start.

It just goes to show when we brought Mahrez on and went to something resembling our normal shape, the performance rose ten fold, because people were more comfortable in their roles. They knew what they were doing.

But that first 55 minutes killed us. Our confidence totally shot.

Yes. Lu replied to Cheeseman's tweet with "no".

Pretty succinct and to the point. I asked someone I know who works at the club too, and their response was "nonsense" to the idea that Pep had agreed to sign a new deal.

I think those conversations will be had over the next two weeks rather than them having already happened and everything decided.

lu did say García didn’t want Barca as well so he can be wrong. But I guess he is closer to Pep

He was very wrong about that, but it sounds like everyone at the club was taken by surprise by Garcia's decision.

As you say, Lu is closer to Pep than the entire British press pack. That circle is very tight and if he's saying that Pep's not agreed to extend, I'd take that to the bank. Especially when the 'source' on the other side is Cheeseman.

We're better man for man than all the sides we lost to this season.

What kind of reasoning is that?

I swear I must have been watching a different side to everyone else all season, because the side I watched played 9 games vs teams playing 532 and only won 3 (1 while playing 5 at the back ourselves).

Did I not see Arsenal coast to victory playing the exact same game as Lyon just a few weeks ago when we played 433? Did United not beat us twice doing it? Wolves?

Why are people still pretending we would have just walked to victory by doing something that's failed time and time again all season?

You keep telling yourself that. We were shite in a 343, 352 and only took control of the game when we went four at the back.

Also his starting line up was woeful and his substitutions (or lack of them) showed he shat it. That loss was entirely on Pep. They finished 7th in a farmers league ffs.

well let’s hope for our sake Ian is right on this one and Lu is just protecting pep from an early leak for whatever reason. What’s you’re thinking Ahsan you seemed unsure if you wanted pep beyond anyways still want him?
 
A Spanish Reporter said Pep has not extended the contract and City and Pep will announce the decision about Pep on December

We can’t be perfect every game. If the officials had done their jobs and not cheated we’d have won

Forgive me if I'm wrong,but I get the feeling you ain't so keen on Mr Cheeseman :)

We took control in a 433 when Lyon were just sitting back, as soon as they needed a goal they scored 2 easily.

That means he will announce that he will be leaving then at the end of the season,so the club has 4 or 5 month to line up the replacement

I would be surprised if he doesn't extend, at least for another year.

However, if true, I think it will be Pochettino.
