My point is there is no conclusive evidence on either side because we are looking into the future. How Baconface evolved and adapted has zero bearing on Pep, who is currently showing some reluctance.One side has it wrong: you can't say he's past it purely on the basis of one season. The evidence is not enough to draw such a conclusion, especially given the context: a somewhat tired team (4 titles in a row!), aging players and many injuries.
On that logic, Ferguson was past it in 2004, 3 years before his next PL title. Obviously, he wasn't, even though United were relatively poor for several years. And it's not like Pep has been underwhelming for 3 years now. We are 2 years after the Treble, one year after 4 in a row, and less than one year since going 26 games unbeaten in Europe...
Time will tell. Right now it's premature to argue Pep is past it.
Whoosh!Perspective hey yours is of the chart with entitlement!
If you think a new manager coming in will win half of what pep did you’ll get a shock!
My point is there is no conclusive evidence on either side because we are looking into the future. Only time will tell. In the meantime it’s entirely a matter of opinions.
You can't say that 15 years of success and 1 bad year have the same evidential weight. Not even close.
Pep will be back. I think we'll be brilliant next season.
People are free to question him as much as they want. But questioning him after one bad season after 4 years of unseen success in English football is both unjustified and disrespectful.
You need to Google the difference between “evidence” and “opinion”.
For instance, a sentence starting “I think” is usually nothing more than an opinion.
Once you’ve done that, maybe you’ll learn that you’re the one disrespecting others.
Tolerance is a two-way street, mate.
No point in engaging further with someone so blinkered. Let’s leave it there.Most reasonable people form their opinions based on the available to them evidence and their ability to process it.
It's obvious that 15 years of success don't weight the same as one bad year (marred by injuries, etc.). The recency bias has gotten the better of some on here.
Again, questioning one of the best managers in history, one who has been exceptional for the club, on the basis of one bad year is both daft and disrespectful. Well done.

Id agree if he didn't go to the club world cup with no injuries and do the same things . Same players picked , same tactics , same goals conceded , same games lost .Most reasonable people form their opinions based on the available to them evidence and their ability to process it.

You can't engage further, silly arguments can take you only so far.
he is terrible coachI hope Kompany takes over pep when he retires
Know when to stop.

We were. But we couldn't finish them off because the majority of those who could finish them off were sat on the bench.We were good in the first half vs Al-Hilal couldn't finish them off and due to his playing style we are vulnerable to the counter attack.
Still had enough on the pitch to really beat them but didn't finish them off.We were. But we couldn't finish them off because the majority of those who could finish them off were sat on the bench.
