He could try recruiting an out and out striker for games like this. His precious system has taken us to unimagined glory but we can't keep making it so easy for opposing defenders.
What we really need is for Pep to develop a ten man system and buy a player who knows where the goals are to work alongside it and bury the chances.

We need someone who can do for the attack what Dias has done for the defence.

Totally agree - the telling point was when pep put zinchenko at LB, clearly didn’t trust mendy - mendy is finished at city

It is a shame.

Pep doesn't seem to think we really need a Stricker and to be fair the results appear to back him up. But I did say back in the autumn that we might yet come to rue not having that option before seasons end. However, as all the cup games we will be involved in over the coming weeks will involve tight margins would the inclusion of Delap do much to improve our chances?

To be honest I don't know if Delap would improve our chances, I am simply frustrated at the poor conversion rate and anything different is worth considering.

Hi Harry(wink wink); you could have been a bit more subtle with the username. Nevertheless, welcome to gods own :)

Oh tell levy to stop being a greedy bastard and take 90 million plus Mendy.

Anyone putting this result on pep is clueless the team on the pitch was more than good enough to win the game it's the players that need to have a look at themselves get a chance and blow it. Still 11 points clear and still in all cups so don't know where the melt down has come from.

I think losing a game against ten men for 45 mins has set some alarm bells ringing

Sense

The voice of reason is Stephen, wish I was as mellow after a defeat

Some in the media being calmer about this than a lot of people on here:

Man City’s stunning defeat by Leeds was a result of Pep Guardiola’s well-ordered priorities

Risking the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Ruben Dias ahead of the Champions League trip to Dortmund would have been careless

A possible positive of this defeat is that it might make Pep think twice about not playing his better players vs Chelsea after the Dortmund game.

I’ve stayed away from this thread as I was so fed up with the whole shit show, once again, missed chances and lack of concentration cost us. In the scheme of things it’s no big deal if we beat Dortmund and win the next few games but we really need to step the fuck up and make that happen ... The rags won’t be allowed to lose another game so we need to get the 11 points we need sharpish and shut the cunts up for another season ...!
