Fuck me, have I got to remind you what post you were replying to now?
No need to apologize. I was referring to someone being called out for describing our football as tippy tappy which in fairness it is.Ah sorry I thought you were blaming pep/tactics/system for it.
If we'd have given Mancini what we have given Pellegrini and pep to piss up the wall I am absolutely sure that there would be at least another league trophy in the cabinet and another couple of domestic cups. Champions league would still be out of reach IMO.
He came into that team mid November when they'd already started shit. He took them to 2 cup finals. He didn't have 1 player who he could say he had input into the transfer of when he arrived.
Pep had a full preseason. He seemingly (from comments around the media and on here) had some kind of influence or input on last years transfers for us, then had his input and time this summer. He then preceded to get it all right, then the one time he didn't, he failed to adapt and our run of form speaks for itself now.
It does take time, but barring us turning over a load of dross through a period of 2 months at the start, I haven't seen that much that makes me think "yeah this will be worth the shit were putting up with again".
Totally understand that - but explain Kolarov and the subs.remind me how did Liverpool do last season with KLOPP? It takes time to go through a transition we have a lot of players who are coming to end of their time with us.
It is subjective on what is good football. I wouldn't call their style of play pleasing either on the eye either.
you are kidding me??. difficult to break down?? their defence is almost as bad as ours, utter shite, maybe if we decided to perhaps attack them then we would have scoredI thought we played OK. Extremely difficult to break Liverpool down once they had their noses ahead. We always knew we were defensively vulnerable. Zabaleta has gone whilst Toure was struggling
