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

May be slightly unpopular but this feels to me like a team very much at the end of it’s cycle. We have too many big players underperforming: Bernardo, Rodri, Gundo, Mahrez. Even KDB and Sterling have been up and down. Neither the tactics nor the desire seem to be there either. At some point it’s just time to move on, and it looks like that point is probably the end of the season.

I still want to believe Pep can turn this around and get this team back to where we were 2 years ago.

But if things keep going like this, it might get to a point where that makes the decision on whether he stays beyond this season for him.

As soon as he began playing inverted wingers things have gone downhill. He is incapable of seeing that the fix is simple and for that reason he needs to leave.

Apart from the year we won a domestic clean sweep with inverted wingers. The rest is bollocks too.
 
Pep himself is the one who keeps saying he has to deserve a new contract. Based on last season and this one so far frankly he doesn't. Still has time to turn things round mind.
 
I think he will, and I think it's obvious he will. He's emphatically stamped on the Barca links, and it's obvious watching us play he's changing our tactics and set ups and evolving. Will it be successful we wait & see, but I don't think Pep would be doing it if he wasn't staying on.
 
There seems to be a mood that has spread throughout some of the more experienced players that could indicate he has lost some of his positive aura..Or maybe it's just pandemic related..
 
That was just a nothingburger match imho...Sterling was terrible, kev full of mistakes(maybe time catching up with him?), gundo and rodri utterly annonymous, bernado did nothing, Kyle walker is just all physicality and lacking brain.

The only standouts were laporte, dias, and cancelo(who was motm for me). Gabby did ok and scored a belter but what else was there after that?

I remember one of the first interviews pep did when he came he mentioned mentality, well he needs to take a look at his team and himself and start asking serious questions. This is suppost to be a winning team...not one that gutlessly sits off for a draw, at home, against a team without their main defender, and with a meandering CB on a yellow for a huge chunk of the game.

This city team is in desperate need of real pace and trickery. Sterling has a turn of pace but has zero confidence it seems and his decisions on the ball are awful. Also rodri position is still a big problem...he's workmanlike at best nothign more. We need real talent there and wingers who can actual run and be a threat.

Shocked at the match tbh we were like a wilting spinach leaf.

EDIT: Bah, i should have put this in the post match thread really.

Maybe if he buys a fast pivot midfielder in January to dislodge gundo but if he doesn’t then can’t see it this season . Still really fucked off with sterling’s performance today . Shocking absolute shocking performance
 
There is a slight problem with de bruyne in 2nd halves getting tired.
