True, and it's testament to our general quality (and Pep's brilliance) that we score as much as we do. But we can't claim, in all honesty, to have a truly clinical bastard in front of goal - a Kane, a Ronaldo, and as much as we might hate to admit it, a Salah. Sadly, wiithout that crucial part of the XI, you're always going to have nights like tonight, where a hurricane of chances are whipped up in the box, but the lack of a natural, fuck-you-I-will-score finisher means they just keep spraying wide.

Absolutely. It grinds my gears that the club seem to have sleepwalked their way through the task of replacing our greatest ever striker. It's inexcusable.

Tonight was the first time I thought to myself, "we aren't winning the league." And guess what? With a striker we'd be 10-12 pts better off. That's a hill I'd die on.

These Haaland rumours need to be true because if not, Pep's time here will likely fizzle out in a whimper.

Not entirely. There’s no doubt that we wouldn’t be in a title race right now if we had a quality striker. Guardiola says every time we drop points people will say it’s because we don’t have a striker. Majority of the time that’s exactly what it is.

Peps taking the fucking piss out of those who say it.

We will buy a striker in the summer.

In the meantime we are 4 points clear at the top.

Or we just didn’t get ripped off for Kane because we could get haaland this year.
Patience.
Nothing wrong with that.

100% correct. Kane as good as he can be, doesn't offer the same options as Haaland does now.

Txiki will haggle over £2m on agent fees and spends £70m alternative who is worth about £30m.

Damn that Txiki and his haggling. If we’d have had anyone else in charge of recruitment I reckon we might have won a few things these past 10 years.

Omg when someone says 'let's get Kane' I wanna puke..
Guy's 29 with dodgy ankles and no trophy pedigree.
The ship has sailed for him last Summer.

"Likely" fizzle out. The question is do you see us winning the league again if we persist with no bona-fide, world class striker? Do you see us winning the trophy we covet most, as a club, without signing said striker?

If the answer to those questions becomes no, then I would argue Pep's time here will end underwhelmingly.

The trophy we most covet as a club? You sound like someone in the media or rival fan

Pep has said it, KDB has said it and most City fans and said it The Premier League is the one we most value

Spot on mate.. Premier League for me all day long.
Yeah it would be great to win the Glorified Cup competition but it's only a cup at the end of the day..given a good draw and luck you can win it..much harder to win the Premier League.
