Today wasn't about the game itself in any way. But how many games like that have we seen over the last two seasons? It's clear Pep has given us absolutely everything of himself the last 10 years and had no more to give.
The 2017/18 Centurions season we had players like Walker, Kompany, Bernardo, David Silva, Fernandinho, Stones, Gundogan, Sané, Sterling, Foden, Jesus, Yaya and Aguero. Who in the remaining squad is close to the level of those players?
I have to say that I'm excited about the future as we have some young players with potential. We may have a very good team in 2 or 3 years time. But I'm very much of the opinion that we asked too much of Pep for too long.
