Why are we bringing Guardiola to the club?
The reason was writ large today. The man I think of now as the 'anti pep' sent out a formation totally bereft of belief and leadership, and the kind of preparation needed at the top level.
Watch Leicester today and watch a team , not a bunch of individuals. Without a doubt , virtually without exception, every player in a city shirt was a better player than his Leicester counterpart - so why did we not win?
Simple really . Lack of preparation in how to deal with the opposition.
Did Pellegrini not know how they would play against us ? I certainly did , and I suspect most of the members of this forum did.
Those who want to say it's silly panic and it was just a bad day at the office can stick their heads in the sand if they want, but there are serious problems with the way Pellegrini sets up the team and we will see a huge difference when pep arrives. Some may not like it.
Pellegrini only acknowledges half a game , he reminds me sometimes of Keegan- you score 3 , we'll score 4, but that doesn't work any more at this level,
Pep is the consummate professional in this respect and is a world away from what we saw today.
That's why we're bringing him to the club.
