Collymore says Pep cannot be considered one of the top ten managers in history.

A wise philosopher once asked a great question that no one seemed to have an answer to, the question he asked was

Spoiler

"Stan Collymore?"

Beat me to it :)

Collymore is a clueless ****.

And classless, woman beating, dogging clueless ****.

Another newbie slagging raz in a different thread, slagging pep and bigging up klopp, well done on a pile of factually incorrect bollocks

It’s not bollocks. And I didn’t ”slagg” anyone. I still believe Pep is the right guy for us. Grow up ffs.

You said pep hasnt improved raz , his stats and performance prove you wrong , you clearly havent watched him or have a bias..

I think that City's problem is that they can't say if Pep is staying or not until we have lined up his replacement. If Pep said he wasn't extending then it would kill the season because players and fans would be speculating on who was coming in (never mind the media). It would have been much easier if Arteta had stayed and Pep could have helped him transition to the top job.
I think we will hear by Christmas one way or the other and my gut feeling is that Pep will not re-sign his contract. We will hear at the same time who is coming in. I would have loved Arteta and Vinny as a management team but suspect now that it will be Nagelsman (also a good choice in my view.)

Job would be to big for arteta and vinny . Would love vinny to succeed in the end but at the moment if pep goes which I think he will do then we need the best out there and that is nagelsman in my opinion .

When I was France for the Euros collymore was running around with camcorder filming all the kick offs with the Russians in Lillie . Took a lot of stick aswell

kaz7 Pep has improved raz. However it seems that when it comes to one on one's with the keeper. It seems that raz nearly always pannicks.

That's on Raz not Pep. Can't turn a peacock into an eagle.

No but Collymore can considered one of the top 10 worst pundits in history.

Three players had covid and two more isolating, think people should calm it down

Good point about the Covid.
None of it is Pep’s fault.
It’s just how it is.
Nothing any other managers would have done would have made any difference...
Everybody is dropping points.
I am still optimistic for the season.

He is a dickhead who can only win things in scotland , i would be gutted to replace pep with him or poch

Out of curiosity who would you be happy with if pep didnt want to renew?

I dont know , just not those two , would think it would be peps muse Naglesman (sp) or Belsia

I don’t think bielsa is a possibility. He is much more demanding than pep and egos will definitely clash, except if our players won’t work like his leeds players

 

[Damanino]

Imagine Bielsa telling Mahrez to run back from the box in sprint and tackle in his own box to help the team.

Btw the way Bielsa team is playing that cannot be done when you go for 4 trophies and you have games every 3 games and on top most of your players do play international games as well a lot.

It looks nice now because tams do not sit back against Leeds, they dont respect and fear them yet that much and they can this way surprise teams with heavy pressing and incredible amount of running, but what I like is the way they commit players forward and a crosser looks in and may see 3-4 potential targets.

We often cross with 1 pontetial target and that guy is isolated between 3-4 defenders in very small area. And is probably someone who is very shit at heading th ball like Sterling or Mahrez.

Sometimes we are scared to have 4-5 attackers in the box even if its just Bernardo, KDB, Mahrez, Foden all being inside the box when a fullback is about to cross.
because if they clear it they wont track back much and a quick counter will punish our defence big time.

It's going to be poch. Bielsa will develop Leeds and nagelsmann has contract till 2023. Poch is free so could come next summer. Pep could go to Barca or PSG

Pochettino seems to be a popular choice but I cannot understand why. He has won 4 PL Manager of the Month awards between 2013 and 2017 and absolutely nothing else. It would be a bigger risk for us than it was when Barcelona appointed Pep after a year with their B team, but at least he was familiar with the players. I realise surviving so long with the Spurs chairman was a notable achievement but apart from a smiling face and reasonable English language skills and plenty to say for the media why would we go from a serial winner to a serial non winner. He may be available, but at what cost is he free.

 

[samarasra]

Good question. Some seem to forget we played our best EVER under him. You can't replicate that season after season... And this season NO ONE is immune from upsets/ injuries and the otherwise unexpected. I can't help but blame that sector of our fan base (obviously growing in number) who are pitifully greedy and petulant and simply expect our players to be in human and play perfectly every season. Yes we looked poor yesterday, it's football not a magic show. I get so F'ing sick of the whining and lack of respect some here show of our longstanding players and staff who pipe up only when the chips are down yet show up after we're flying like nothing ever happened. If you want to pull for a winner every season buy the league winners kit after they're crowned and wear it until they aren't top anymore: rinse and repeat. If we win Saturday vs. Sheffield were top 4-5 and in the thick of things in this tumultuous season in which everyone- players included- have been touched deeply by this pandemic. Weve played 5 bloody games FFS. Weve had major players injured all season. If you cant compose yourself and keep from throwing your rattle from the pram every time we don't win 4-0 find a new hobby.

Great post, realistic, sporting and human and a very welcome breath of fresh air.

So are you saying people on bluemoon shouldn't criticize Pep or the players ? And if they do have negative feelings about team selection or performance you'd prefer them to keep them to themselves and not voice their feelings ?

You need to read Zenmanc's post again, nowhere does it say people shouldn't criticise Pep or the players, nowhere was it said keep negative feelings to themselves. For context read some of the "Pep is shit, players XYZ are shit etc" posts, responsibility comes with freedom of expression, abusing the players, the management, the club and providing no constructive criticism is a waste of a post imo.
