How will Pep set us up?

The team could be freshened up just by new ideas and a new approach. Drop Toure and play fit competitive players who can get up and support Aguero and Silva

I think the biggest difference we'll see under Guardiola is the athleticism of the team. We are pedestrian now. We weren't always like that.
 
Do we have a better squad of players than Leicester?
Is guardiola a better manager than ranieri?
I believe that the answer to both is yes.
 
He wasn't too big a fan of Lewandowski at the start of the season, so your logic of him preferring a strong striker is incorrect.
It's only because of Lewandowski's form that he felt obliged to play him. I think Aguero would suit his preferred type of playing much better.
 
I think its unrealistic to expect him to come into the club, change the playing style, change a number of players, have to deal with players returning late from the Euros and Copa America, and then play a different system every week.

I expect he'll adopt a basic system, dictated by which players are available to him in pre season, and stick with that for a few months. The permutations will be introduced gradually once he has a settled squad.
Why is it unrealistic? I appreciate people will arrive back late but that will be the case for all big clubs throughout Europe. But I would have thought he would hit the ground running and introduce his ways straight up. The players will be expected to adapt quickly. The results I would venture may not be what we would all like for the first few months and I think it may be the season after next before we have the real Pep City because of the amount of deadwood which he will need to discard.
