Absolutely correct but would he listen? The high line kills us but there’s no sign of anything changing.Proper shit the bed this season but let’s not forget he’s without Rodri and Bobb, someone needs to tell him there’s no shame in playing on the counter.
And Bobb. what exactly has bobb done? Seriously it’s funny at this pointProper shit the bed this season but let’s not forget he’s without Rodri and Bobb, someone needs to tell him there’s no shame in playing on the counter.

This absurd dependence on Rodri is something that one might think an elite manager should be able to handle better.

Who the fuck are Mwamba and Kovetic?Why not Mwamba on the bench at least ? Even as an option. I rather he gave O'Reilly and Reis minutes with the game gone than Gundogan and Kovetic. Why bring Dias on if he's not fully fit with the game gone and risk further injury ?
The guy looks to have changed so much, he looks more relaxed the last couple of weeks, is he simply resigned to writing of the season, or has he made a decision to go in the summer?
Bizzare team choices today and then the reluctance to change during the game, KDB looked utterly broken from the off, yet Pep kept him out there.
The biggest worry going forward to me is this club WC in the summer, the last think this squad and manager needed, everyone at this club (Viana apart) needs a long summer holiday away from the game to refresh for next season.

Team shape yesterday was far better than the nonsense ‘flat lines’ stuff we’ve seen particularly in the Champions League. We were better at moving the ball through the lines and there were a fair few times we played through them nicely.
Not great, of course. But then it’s not going to be with Lewis, Gonzalez, current De Bruyne and current Foden. Hardly Stones, Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne of 22/23. Or Delph/Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Silva and De Bruyne of 17-19.

I think we could collapse even further as this week sone of our starters look to have thrown the towel in .I’m very confident we’ll get champions league. I had today down as a loss but think we’ll put a run together soon and get 3rd
Agree and it’s gonna cost us big time it’s like the only reason we don’t see Walker is because he took it out of pep’s hands and went .His loyalty to the old brigade does him no favours.

If a new manager were to come in then that club WC could be a blessing to get them started.The guy looks to have changed so much, he looks more relaxed the last couple of weeks, is he simply resigned to writing of the season, or has he made a decision to go in the summer?

We really could do with turning up against Spurs. This team needs to show some steel and grit from now on.I think we could collapse even further as this week sone of our starters look to have thrown the towel in .
I am starting to think that's a possibility, huge period coming up for the club, 115 and a full rebuild.If a new manager were to come in then that club WC could be a blessing to get them started.
It's a lottery knowing what to expect these days, we looked right on it against Newcastle then looked like we were already beaten against the dippers and Madrid. That comes from the managers messaging to the players for me, even Everton got in their faces and gave them a game of it - we rolled over and the way the heads dropped after their first said it all.We really could do with turning up against Spurs.

Sniff sniffThis absurd dependence on Rodri is something that one might think an elite manager should be able to handle better.
The team we've seen in the previous seasons to this is finished now. There's still one or two dissenters on here who can't let go but ultimately they're in a fuzzy headed nostalgic trance. My gut feeling is Pep's putting on a brave face in his typical charismatic style which I agree with. I would be stunned however if behind the scenes he's not plotting how to rejuvenate us into a great team again. The contract extension more or less tells us this. This summer really needs to be about sorting the deficiencies in the team out, of which there a few to be honest.It's a lottery knowing what to expect these days, we looked right on it against Newcastle then looked like we were already beaten against the dippers and Madrid.

Or maybe he's more relaxed because he's happy with our signings and he can see our next great team forming.The guy looks to have changed so much, he looks more relaxed the last couple of weeks, is he simply resigned to writing of the season, or has he made a decision to go in the summer?

Pep it’s not a quitter he has made mistakes sure but he has got more things right as our trophy cabinet shows, next season we go again we will be right up there again winning trophies I’m convinced of that he will then leave after becoming the best manager the premier league has ever seen. Some of the posts about him are real disrespectful be careful what you wish for
In pep I trust the guy is a genius

Excited to see what Pep is able to build for the next iteration of this great club.
I hope that's it but starting to have my doubts.Or maybe he's more relaxed because he's happy with our signings and he can see our next great team forming.
New players not used to it. Others not capable. Others lacking confidence.So they are not listening to him ?
But you’re right let’s sack him.
