Finally. Someone who isn't spinning about like a dog trying to take a shit. Hats off to you mate. That should be what's minimally acceptable. And if he fails to make the finals, win a cup instead.
All the farfing and excusing is beyond silly. We are talking about players who should be amongst the best in the league here. Even if they are not fully gelled thru October, by December they should be humming. Which gives them 5 months to wrestle the league away from anyone.
Sure, unlike the Pelegrini haters, if 5 or 6 of Pep's key players get injured, we'd take that into consideration. Too bad the same fuks who don't think the injuries are an issue now, are the same ones whining about Pep not being able to teach his system. Fucking hypocrites!
