Can't blame him if the death of his mother has effected him.

Regularly has the look of someone just going through the motions.

Though he's been hampered by terrible recruitment by the club.

Doesn’t he have a say in who we sign then, just asking like..

You're saying the rags are loyal towards their manager forgetting that he beat us three times not only did he do this he also out did pep in those games tactically so comparing it to that year is silly. At the end of the day there is no room to be sentimental we need to be ruthless and practical. Pep needs to make it clear what he wants to do. Imo pep has been great for us but i think were coming to the end of his time here teams are figuring us out and his tactics in the champions league have been baffling.

Lot of hard man talk there. Sacking a world class manager at the first sign of struggle isn't being ruthless, it's braindead and cowardly.

What would be cowardly about it? 2 leagues out of 5 after this season and no improvement in the champions league with the resources he’s had (over the last 4) is hardly amazing despite 2 great seasons.
 
Players might not react the same way to Pep anymore than they did 3 years ago. Did this relation get tired?

We start games well, and after 30 minutes the match plan is dead, pressing is dead, balance is dead, defending from the front is dead, panic starts, we cannot get a grip on games anymore, Pep is late with the subs, while we keep missing good chances upfront we make stupid mistakes at the back, today it was Ederson flapping a cross, last time it was giving away penalties for fun. There is always something at the back.

Our back line with keeper as well cost north of 250m pounds.
Leeds first team cost 15m at best.

But we need to buy another LB and a striker to beat them. I dont buy that "solution"...
We need to get the very best of current players and see how far that will take us.

this what we see vs Leicester, Leeds or Lyon is not the best of what these players can do.

Coaching team needs to earn their money same way as Bielsa is earning his.
 
He’s breaking up sections of the team that were working well to address an injury to our central strikers/ address tactical problems that the opposition may cause but aren’t actually there.

Sterling and Foden have been moved from where they were having real impact to positions where they’re not influencing the game enough. De Bruyne is moving from right to left, probably to try to confuse the opposition but it’s having the opposite effect.

On that note, he really needs to think about how to balance our midfield. Two and half PL games in a succession the midfield has gone missing and it’s ended up like a basketball match.

It’s early doors in what is going to be a unique season but he needs to get on top of stuff sharpish.

Didnt say sack him we need to know if he wants to stay or not if you can't see that i dont know what to tell you. What makes you think he wants to stay maybe he himself is burnt out as well as our players. Btw none of that was hard man talk your responses come across that way not mine.
 
I don't know why some of city fans want to sack pep. That's one of the ridiculous thing I have ever heard. The lack of respect is ..... Pep is going away next season if we don't win anything this season. So let's be calm and let him do his thing one last time.

In the meantime I just want Agüero back I can't stand sterling(as a striker) and the amount of chances he misses.

Noone wants to sack Pep all we want is clarification on his contract Situation

I think pep very well clarified that he has no problem to stay but he needs to deserve it .
I think he will take a call in January/February based on how season is going .
And that is very logical imo.
 
Have to admit, was surprised he put on Ake and Fernandinho yesterday. I would have liked to have seen Delap rather than Bernardo however. Mahrez was fucking woeful and should have been hooked for a proper striker at half time.
 
Guardiolas arrogance is killing us.
The blueprint to beat us has been obvious for years yet he never addresses this issue.
He was a trailblazer and an innovator once upon a time.
Now he gets schooled by bang average managers who exploit our achilles heel.
If he's not prepared to adapt then this is only going to end one way.

I remember a lot of comments like this in 16/17, before we went on and dominated the next two seasons. So he definitely has it in him to turn things around, the question is can he climb the mountain again. I think it's a tall order but I live in hope
 
Fact that our being good or shite basically relies on our front 3 pressing for 90mins points to a flawed system. No back-up and no belts and braces. It's that works or nothing. Genius though

The big difference is that in 16/17 Pep didn’t have the players he needed at his disposal.

We cannot say the same thing now.
