Most of the defeats this season have been very similar and yeah some responsibility lies with the players but does anyone else think Peps entire game plan revolves around the assumption that the opposition is just going to sit back and admire how good City are ? Because it seems to me that when they decide to try and put up a fight we don’t have an alternative plan.

The thought of playing Madrid gives the fucking shivers. We've just been done by a team that has Xhaka, Luiz, Mustafi and Maitland fucking Niles.
To be honest mate, any manager who cannot see how to set up a team to beat us, shouldn't be a manager

that new coach has improved our corner taking thats for sure
Just saw between our game and Liverpool game they had 6 shots, all on target and scored 4 goals.To get beat 2-0 by that shower of shit is a fucking embarrassment.
They conceded 49 shots and no goals. Only shot on target today was when the ball slapped off Sterling's face.

It’s not as simple a fix as throwing money at it, we risk getting more of the same, though there are key positions to refresh eg CB.
Is Pep willing to adapt for teams that have worked us out. If yes, that might require a different type of player.
The players are good enough. The tactics are the problem

If a team penned City in like we did to Arsenal for large chunks of tonights game, we'd get absolutely hammered.

You think he would have known that already. This squad are either not up to it or Peps lost his mojo.No
The verdict on Monday gives us the motivation to go forward
Pep will know what needs sorting and will I am sure sort

True. Very simple and very effective. Sit deep and play 2 or 3 speed merchants up top to break away and score. Not rocket science is it.To be honest mate, any manager who cannot see how to set up a team to beat us, shouldn't be a manager
Did you think the 16/17 team would get 100 points the year after?
We’re a very good team with 2-3 holes in the bucket just as we did then. Plug those holes and we’ll be flying again.
The recruitment has to be right though.
Feels different TBH, that was Pep's bedding in season.
Maybe that's why he only stays at clubs 3-4 years.
