I think and it's very painful for me to say, but time to move on... Team needs discipline, manager with the new ideas and what's more important - push to perform better.. Pep has lost his charisma and players aren't afraid of him any more, he is like buddy or good friend who you can joke with and share ideas, but not the boss - who you are afraid of..

You shouldn't ever be afraid of your boss,that doesn't get best results.

You need to admire and trust a boss,and he needs to inspire.
 
Pep is getting most of this squad. Problem is that, this squad is completely average with KDB only WC player.

The blame lies in office.

Agreed talk about this squad and its depth is overrated.

Still relying on a 32 year old too injury prone now to win us games is clear indication how poor our recruitment has been.
We had to heavily rely on the soon retired Vinny to win us our last title.
Combined with Pep's situation ( he never managed a club this long in the past ).

Probably time to do a complete clean out and sever ties with the Spanish connection.

They are past their used by dates and can't get world class players in a City shirt which we need.
 
I don’t believe things are going to change, he’s a stubborn personality and he will persist and persists with things that aren’t right because he won’t admit he is wrong.

He’ll be sat at home thinking how can he rectify today and put it right Tuesday and he’ll come up with a 2-3-4-2 formation with Dias on the width of the 4.

Instead of just playing a standard 4-3-3 and playing to our strengths!
 
Could Pep or his assistants please teach our players how to attack the near and far post
in order to score easy goals?

Lazy feckers, always staying back and watching the scene instead of attacking dangerous areas and take responsibility. Painful to watch. Me shouting at the screen too often today.

Dippers or Bayern would have ripped that poor Hammers team apart today, tbh.

The lack of front post runs is painful, especially from corners.

Seems like 90% of the corners we put in go to the front post yet there is almost never someone making that run. I like to think that our corner takers are good enough that they aren't mis-hitting them to this area all the time so why is no one ever there!!

Exactly, our players seem to just get stuck on the six yard line.
 
Hate to say it but his time is up, simple as that. Realistically we are not going to get back to 17/18 and 18/19 standards under him, we are so far away from that right now that by the time we've built a team as good as that he will be long gone.

Khaldoon should have said to him in the summer are you signing a new contract yes or no? If the answer was no or he wasnt sure then shake his hand, thank him for his incredible service and appoint a new manager.

The next guy we bring in will almost certainly not be a better manager than Pep, but its not about that. We need a fresh approach with someone who's in it for the long haul. You cant rebuild a side with a guy who wont even commit past the end of the season.

He's been the best manager we've ever had but he's stayed a season too long, he deserved to go out in glory but as other blues on here have said, this has got Pellegrini's final season written all over it.

Looking forward to winning the Carabao Cup in an empty Wembley though...
 
I just don't know what will happen with Pep. I really hope he shakes off all the negativity that has crept into his demeanour and stays to rebuild the squad.

As fans all we want is to get behind a youthful rebuild. We shouldn't waste time and reminisce about those players who brought us the successes of the past 10 years, they have gone and leave us with great memories. Pep has to rely on the younger guns - I want to see Torres, Foden, Dias, Delap, Palmer and others given a chance to become mainstays of the side. I don't want to see the likes of Mahrez take a place and just selfishly go through the motions. Youth, pace & power is the answer and we have the players to do that now - so what if we get beaten a few times - I want to see us attack teams and frighten them to death. The PL has caught up with us and it's not cutting it having 70% possession and scoring just 1 or 2 goals.

I also think in todays market you cannot simply buy a team - kind of ironic that other teams fans and the media say that is what we have done yet forget that most other teams have actually not been shy on spending big as well. We don't hold any records for transfer fees, nor for salaries so in my opinion it's a myth we have solely bought our way to the top.

I want Pep to come out and say "enough of this negative mindset, I am going to build this young team and you try and stop us." I don't want to hear about too many games, too many injuries anymore. We need positivity Pep.

A lineup (without Jesus and now Sergio for a while) of Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Ake, Rodri, Kev, Foden, Bernardo, Torres & Sterling should be the first choice 11 - stick with them, tell them that they are the core and others - Delap, Palmer, Gundogan, Cancelo etc - have to push them to get a place. Once we have a fit forward to come in there is nothing sub par about our potential lineup.

Pep don't be stubborn, sign an extension, and say fuck em all, we are going to create something wonderful, just watch us take it to another level again. That is the Pep we know and love - in return we will put our arms round him and give him a hug - all we ask is reignite the fire and passion. There is no club in the world that would give you so much control. There is no club in the world with fans that have humour, passion and a quirky side that makes us uniquely Man City Fans - we are blue moon, let's go.

Oh and ps don't make Raheem skipper again he doesn't need additional worries to think of he just needs to play with freedom.
 
His first challenge as a manager - everywhere else and in his first 3/4 years here he’s had the best squad in the league, that should win by default. Now we’re in transition, and there are other good coaches with similar levels of talent at their disposal - the kind of competitive environment Mancini had to contend with - he’s being exposed.

Likely 2 titles in 5 years with the players he inherited/signed is substandard - we’d won 2 in the previous 5 as well.

It’s time for Khaldoon to scrap the faux-Barcelona project - Soriano and Txiki clearly got the jobs on the understanding they could facilitate Pep, Messi and European success, and have ultimately failed expensively. If we’d allowed Cook, Marwood and Mancini to continue their work with the same momentum they’d established, we could have bagged 6/7 titles in what’s been an underwhelming post-Ferguson Premier League era - even the 2012/13 title was given away due to players downing tools in the knowledge of Mancini’s pending departure.

Enter Pochettino.
