Well we’ve been saying this for 12 months now. He continues to ignore foden, continues to play Mahrez nearly every game and we all live in a cuckoo land of expecting it to change and get better. Dias looks great agreed, Torres again looks really good. However, Rodri isn’t improving, Mahrez plays nearly every game, Bernardo isn’t getting anywhere near what he was, still no left back, Jesus is hit and miss, ederson can’t make a save, pep refuses to make a sub, kev is way off his best, we refuse to pass forward, we play the ball wide and cut back inside every single time and as a side we are utterly predictable.

Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)
- Thread starter tolmie's hairdoo
- Start date
I know its hard to replace the likes of silva, komps etc. Impossible maybe.
But we remind me of arsenal all those years ago, lost the likes of vierra, henry, campbell, petit, bergkamp and replaced with players 2/3 levels below and never quite recovered. If we arent careful we could end up having to spend another billion to compete

Anyone hear what Pep had to say after the game?
He was so, so happy with the performance.
Didnt see the handball and was so, so happy with his tactics which played to Spurs strengths and so, so happy with the timing of his subs.

One things for sure. We’re back to gundo and Rodri for the foreseeable future.

What he did in the past is done, irrelevant, he even says so himselfCan some of you lot put a name forward to replace the guy who's won us 8 Trophies & who'd still be wanted by just about every club out there?

We are going backwards, alarmingly so. The form of nearly every player has fallen through the floor. Pellegrini and Mancini were sacked for similar but its been said here, we are frightened to death of going for someone like Nagelsmann and Poch was never in the running so we have had no choice but to give him a new contract, hopefully some players still get all dewy eyed around Pep and we will go and get them because at the minute its looking tragic.
Again most of his tactics work minus the final result of us scoring so where do you blame the players?I repeat, he picks the player's coaches them and sets up the tactics before and during the game. Although Rodders isn't up to the job, that's not through lack of effort.
Signing Mahrez as talented as he is, made no sense then and less now. Who pushed that deal?

I agree, but players like that don’t have replacements. You find a player that his own attributes and you find a way or system to fit them. look at Jesus. Nowhere near aguero level as a Pure striker but when we have him sterling and foden we have an amazing press and the team adapts to play successfully that way.I know its hard to replace the likes of silva, komps etc. Impossible maybe.

we didn’t sign debruyne to replace yayas 20 goals a season. We let him do what he does and others score the goals As a result.

Totally agree mate, maybe Khaldoun in hindsight should of waited until the end of the season also..I was surprised really when I first got told it happened, i was expecting the season to unfold further before he made a decision
I honestly thought he would wait because he has always said he would decide on whether the players are still responding to his methods (which at the moment look far from it)
Yaya in his last season probably still moved more than themOne things for sure. We’re back to gundo and Rodri for the foreseeable future.

Yesterday’s man beat yesterday’s man.
Remember when we had a CM who could actually step forward with the ball and make a difference.Yaya in his last season probably still moved more than them

Haha what do you expect. That was fucking ace? We’re on t(e verge of greatness?Moaning city fans again do my fcking head in end of. Support the club or do one
we got easily beaten by an average spurs team. We have been shit since Lyon and Sporadically before that.
Anyone seen this game before? Bags and bags of possession, lots of pretty passing, not much work for the opposition keeper, and the opposition score with every opportunity? I hate to say it but we’re becoming predictable.Other teams and managers have adapted and improved their tactics but Pep hasn’t changed
