Can you imagine paying 70quid plus to watch two teams lined up on the edge of their box. Neither team wanting ball that's in the centre circle.

One day City should do this against a park the bus team.

These park the bus teams are ripping fans of by refusing to play football

If Pep doesn’t want a heart attack like last year, better keep Ankaji out of starting 11.
My formation:
Ederson
Nunes Dias Gvadol NOR
Nico G, Silva
Lewis KDB marmooth
Haaland

I’m not sure about Lewis but reckon he is the best option over Foden, Savinho or Gundo.

I'd have Savinho nowhere near today. Nothing he has done these last 3 or 4 months warrants a place in the squad, let alone the team! I'd put him out on loan next season and give him a proper bollicking that it's his last chance saloon. Really not impressed at all. Foden too, but at least Fodens built up some credit in the bank with the last 5 or so seasons. But I'd still leave him out today, hopefully he sorts himself out for next year. As for Gundo? Pep loves him so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him start. He has played some half decent games this last month, so him starting wouldn't be a surprise. 4-1 City :)

Last Wednesday night comes to mind. But, they paid more than 70 quid.

I watched such a game once: World Cup 1982 Germany vs Austria. At 1-0 to Germany both qualified for the next stage so they played pat-a-cake for most of the game. Algeria were eliminated.
 
I think everything under a microscope looks massive.

He has basically said if he needs to pay defensive he will, we need the point no more, we need CL football. From this game, this game only, we need to qualify for the CL. How is that a BIG GAMBLE, and why does that mean he is changing is style of football forever.

And why do modern day football fans talk like they are presenting aa Youtube channel.

That's why you should never go to a dipper, rag match.

Who said he was sending a message? He was (presumably) asked a question and he answered it with a smile on his face. Why on earth do people insist on dissecting every little thing anyone says?

Exactly, and this is the reason people don't say anything in the post match interviews inane questions and worse answers The media are looking for any angle, they will use half a quote without any context for a click-bait story When people say why don't City say anything about the charges this is exactly why

In the press conference, Pep touched on a very important issue related to City's style of play.

Are we witnessing a change in Pep's playing philosophy, which is based on adherence to his timeless principle of adopting an attacking style of play based on possession, passing, and high pressing?


Or is he shifting to a more flexible style based on the principle that the end justifies the means, thus adopting a conservative, defensive approach and using counterattacks to snatch a point or three?


PEP: "If we have to play in a certain way to take a point then I will do it. If that means changing the principles, sitting back and waiting for the transition, playing laying another way to take the point, then I will do it. I promise you I will do it."
Pep: "If I think that's the best way to take a point or the three then I will do it. We have to respect whatever we have to do over the 90 minutes or the 95 minutes.
"For me, my idea is to try to play to win the game. But if we are playing badly or the opponents are playing better than us, then will I change."


What do you think? Is Pep capable of changing his footballing style?

Changed it months ago.
 
Pep should us his system which worked so well against Lyon in the CL.
