I'm seeing a pattern with Pep overrating managers he respects. Bielsa, Tuchel, Klopp, Vieira.

Not in my opinion, we shouldn’t be starting either of Kev or Gundo at the moment, we need what pace and energy we have to be on the pitch - front 5 should be Phil, Grealish, Bernie, Jesus and Mahrez.
We have enough pace in the rest of the team imo, neither Phil or Grealish have enough experience in centre midfield and we would be a bit light if we played them there, against stronger more aggressive midfielders we could come unstuck.
Also gives Bernardo more passing options and allows him to play a bit further up when Gundogan dops in alongside Rodri.

nail on the head, oh for a dzeko and yaya todayMissing a striker obviously, as others have said. Someone to offer a penalty box presence/aerial threat and poaching ability.
Also could do with drive in centre midfield. A Yaya type of player, somebody to take the game by the scruff of the neck and even bully the opposition's midfielders. We haven't really had that since he stopped playing regularly.
We have players that offer different type of "drive" from midfield, Kevin's runs on the counter, Phil's direct running and Gundo's frank Lampard like ability of drifting into the box during a slow build-up and scoring. But we still don't have anyone with the physicality or that has all of what Yaya had.
And both are the types of player that Pep is unlikely to buy or pick to start regularly.
Sorry but that’s nonsense pal. The red card and the offside were hard to take but they were the correct calls. We did that to ourselves today
Don’t know could gone either way but with it being city it is always there worse way.
Once we went one nil down the referee was loving it smirking when Silva kept point out that there goalie was taking ages over his kicks! Giving us next to fuck all all game but we now except this as fans and the players pep do now also!

Pep’s stats for coming back from a losing position, are bang-average at best. You can almost guarantee that when the game starts bad, it ends bad!Half arsed, complacent and sloppy from the start. Misplaced passes and unforced errors. And usually when this lot start a game like that, it only ends one way.
The apparent inability of manager or players to turn round a deficit, especially when losing at half time, is something that is rarely discussed but should be.
Defeat next week is unacceptable. Time for the manager and the players alike to earn their money. An attitude like that first half today cannot stand

His win rate though there is no contest from any manager.
You're lucky ye're not Everton supporters.Actually I am, had to start wearing specs a few years ago when I started mistaking Tits Out Jackie’s knockers for Willy Caballero
You'd surely get confused with a midfield pairing of Thomas Gravesen and Lee Carsley.

I think the top brass have got complacent on the football side of things - They're probably more interested in attracting sponsors, advertisers, etc rather than players.We won't be signing anyone in January mate, infact I'm not even sure we'll sign a striker next summer. Doesn't seem to be a desperate need for one from the top brass at City
To be honest, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Txiki goes back for Kane in January, hoping to get him 'on the cheap' - Especially now he's effectively downed tools at Spurs.
We've got too many players approaching their sell-by dates, and not enough talent coming through the EDS. If we don't make a few 'marquee' signings over the next two windows, we're at risk of falling out of the top 4... Just in time for Pep to leave.
