Everything I said is true. But go ahead and be mad at Pep because you want five in a row with barely any investment.

When we beat the rags on Sunday, just remember how much the two teams spent over the past five years and how much we’re punching above our weight.

It’s criminal how the owners have let us atrophy this badly.

Question? Has Pep been played? Or has he been taken for granted? Maybe a bit of both. By played I mean is it possible that the club played to Pep's massive self confidence to the extent that even he believed he could win regardless of the team's size, upkeep, and quality when the reality is what we're seeing in large part is a result Rodri's long term injury, but also due to "over-selling" and poor replenishment. I got killed on here for saying Pep is accustomed to driving Ferrari's not Jeeps. That's not a criticism, it's a statement of fact. Pep has built his career on working with elite players getting them to play in very precise and unique ways. He's never been asked to be a make do guy, at least by design. Could it be that our management had gotten to the point where they believed Pep could remain at the top with this current squad? Even with a healthy Rodri it was going to be a big ask, let's not fool ourselves. If, and I mean if. Pep truly had little or no hand in the makeup of this current squad then I'll have to double down on your take that the club fucked him over. The reward for all he's done should have been to make the squad even stronger, not water it down and sit on our hands as it aged out.

There, how's that angry clappers? The club took Pep for granted and left him with a shell of his former team and a big rebuilding job...
 
The supporters spent money to create a banner asking for Pep to stay.
He heard and responded.

Now it's our turn to support the team.
Anyone who plans to bugger off if we are 4-0 down on Sunday should please give their ticket to another fan who will stay to support the team till the end.

We enjoyed the years of dominance together.
Lets stick together during these difficult period.

Lucky to see it I suppose, not that the UK media acknowledge it.

All you ever hear about is Peps Barca team being the best of all time!

Yep
The lack of acknowledgement toward Pep and Manchester City is disgusting.
But the UK media are controlled by the red scum and dare you write something that they never benefit from

United fully control the Premier League media outlets and that's the only thing they have over us, on and off the field Manchester City are better run and better at playing football, So what United can do is spread shit about us and call us cheats,

It's the only bugbear I have with our owners, They never once shot down the fake headlines or came out fighting and filed court cases against the shit stories, The Media team needs to grow some balls and stand up for us fans that take all the shit from other clubs fans, They believe everything that the red scum reporters write and we are just cannon fodder.

If you look when doku lost possessions mckennie or whatever his name is was behind walker.. Walker is walking back toward goal and then mckennie starts running. At that point it’s too late.

It’s too easy to blame Walker mate. Doku and Lewis responsible for that goal…and Ederson not completely blameless

Just like all the imitators, we are playing the Pep way, without the players to do it.

We are too old and too slow.

We are too easy to play against. Teams know they can set up with a low block, deny us space and then just boot it over our left back, into space.

We look like we are running in treacle, trying to get back.

Doku looka like our only threat and he had 3 players on him at times last night.

I seen a headline this morning.

Old Lady -2
Old Men - 0

I think that sums up our current predicament.

I know we were beaten by an Italian team but this is ridiculous.
