Pinching myself at how one man can re-invigorate an entire club so quickly. I felt that we had become a little lazy and complacent as a club. Lets face it many of us have never known such success as in recent times - credit has to go to the owners, Mancini, & the core of players that arrived in the first stanza, but after the initial successes we became quite frankly dull and predictable. I know it's early days but Pep has started as we all hoped, he is the extra 10% that takes us to the next level. From diet to pre-match planning, to ensuring the players who are with him are made to feel ten feet tall, yet by his astute handling of some of that core group, they know they will only have that support if they continue to play at the same intensity. Some now look like real world beaters - is there a better holding midfielder than Fernandinho, a better left handed centre back than Kolarov (can't quite believe I'm writing that!) and I loved the fact that today we ended the game with a team filled with under 22year olds. I think the atmosphere today showed that we are all pulling together and long may that feeling continue. Thank you Pep.
