You’ve completely misunderstood the entire post. This ALWAYS happens and not just to City. The performances 19/20 were even worse than this season at times and people said the exact same as what you’re saying right now. Pep’s mixing it up because he thinks certain players aren’t performing or aren’t motivated the same. He’s trying to pull a rabbit out of the hat.
People have such short memories and live only in the moment, meaning they’re only able to judge what’s right in front of them without looking at the bigger picture. You sometimes need to look at history to see what might happen in the future.
I used to listen to the radio on the way home from the match and you’d be amazed how many United fans would ring up saying Ferguson was finished whenever they had a bad defeat or didn’t win the league - ‘he’s been brilliant for us but it might be time for him to hang it up now’. They’d slag off his signings, his tactics etc. What would happen? He’d come back with a vengeance just as City and Pep always do.
