Has it been a good/poor season?

one of the worst seasons since the take over. with the players and manager we have, to go out with a whimper in the fa cup semi, Cl quarter and finish 16 points behind liverpool, is unacceptable.

We're in a transition phase.

I don't know any other team that has managed to cope through that.

The next generation will be set for next season

Onwards and upwards... Not getting caught up in this negative sack the manager bollocks

What is our transition though? Most sides in transition are transitioning from a position of weakness to a position of strength. We seem to be doing it arse upwards.

It’s not rocket science to understand that if you replace top, top players with inferior ones you get worse as a team but that is exactly what we have been doing...

Kompany - A world class CB and leader. Replaced with two or three players not fit to lace his boots.
Fernandinho - The best CDM in world football. Replaced by a guy who can’t move. Like he literally cannot move.
David Silva - Arguably the best midfielder in the Prem for the past decade. Replaced with Gundogan. Fucking laughable.
Sane - Most exciting young LW in world football. Replaced by a guy who can barely beat a man and is better on the other wing.
Sterling - Unstoppable in a front 3 with Sane on the opposite flank. Replaced by a guy who plays only for himself and goes in a big fucking sulk like a baby when things don’t go his way.

If we are in a transition, we need to get better at it because our recent forays into the transfer market have been fucking woeful.
 
Got shades of Pellegrini’s final season IMO.

Weak spine of the team, we got turned over in nearly every big game and we play slow and boring football.

For me the players aren’t the issue, Pep’s tactics have just become stale. Sides have worked us out and we haven’t adapted.
 
Not great. The phasing out of David Silva was needed but could of been a lot handled better. The Points gap can't be ignored but that ws partly down to various baffling refeering/VAR decision ( We only conceded 2 goals more and scored more than the current champions bestest team in the universe and despite pep's "bad tactics2). Champions League campaign looked promising up until the Lyon game still major improvement needed but there are still factors beyond our control that are still looming in our defeats in that competition.

Patchy season.

The worry for me for the future is repeated errors (simple ball over the top leading to goals), poor set pieces and a squad with big holes in key positions

we’ve got a good manager and great board though, on the bright side!

Kompany was replaced by whom? He wasnt replaced which was a fuckup
Fernandihno at 34 is NOT the best CDM in the world
I dont know what Sane has to do with it, he didnt want to play for City
Silva hasnt been replaced by Gundog ?? He's being replaced by no one tbh, maybe Foden

A transition would be where the spine of your squad (Kompany, Ferny, Silva, Aguero) are coming to the end of their careers and we try to replace them - which is what we;re doing tbh (Laporte, Rodri, Foden, whoever replaces Aguero)

Seen it before it'll take a while
