Was wondering the same , his record on signings is truly shit .
Perhaps the precious darling reads bluemoon or something.

3 of those were penalties and none of the goals were against anyone half-decent. Our win % in games where he's not been available this season is 78% compared to 50% when he has. So others have been getting those goals when we need them.To be fair, Aguero has scored 10 in 13 league games this season. Not sure who you hope will better that for us?
It could have been worse, but we should have been better!
I accept that Guardiola is a genius, however, if he was sat with me now he could not convince me that bringing Ian on with 5 minutes to go was a good idea
Drop Aguero and get De Bruyne upfront. He holds it up like a forward but has the vision to bring others into play. Aguero has had it, its clearly not working
As for Kolarov, I'm sure it's been done to death but the whole game plan fell apart when he, lazyily, gave the ball away. No excuse
It's this for me all day long. With our resources I feel that we are being mis managed from the top down . If I were the sheik I'd want to know what the fucks going on. Too many people getting an easy ride. That squad needs massive investment. The annoying thing is we've already spent millions on Sub standard players. It wouldnt suprise me if Burnley turn us over.Pep is proving all the cynics right. It's hard to argue with them really.
I was talking to an Everton fan last night. He was saying how he couldn't understand where Koeman was taking the team. Constant chopping and changing. Plays a back three, then a back four, never the same personnel. Persists with players out of form. Asks playes to do things they're clearly not capable of or suited to doing. No bite, no rhythm, no consistency. I honestly thought he was talking about Guardiola at one stage.
I have to say I've lost all faith in Guardiola, along with the last remnants of faith I had in Txixi. I know I'll get brickbats for that but honestly that's how I feel. As far as I can see, they are both proving to be clueless.
Honestly can anyone say with any confidence that we'll beat Burnley, or anyone for that matter? Or even predict with any level of surety what team and formation we'll play in the next game? That's a sorry state to be in given the money and resources we have at hand.
Luckily we still have Khaldoon and the Sheik, so at least we know things won't go spiralling completely out of control. I trust they'll make the right decisions at the right time.
Pep isn't the problem - his mate Txiki is. Pep has been hamstrung by inheriting a squad of unsuitable and old players, despite Begiristain having spent two seasons with a lame duck manager supposedly preparing for his arrival. The last two seasons were utterly disasterous.
How kolarov and zaba got the nod for the full back positions is beyound me.
Not saying clichy is much better but when he has a run of games he plays steady.
Which was the case versus hull Arsenal and Watford.
Zaba has gone sad to watch really, like a old boxer having one last pay day
