Hmmm. Not at his best against United but his last 3 league games against Liverpool have been quality:Agreed, that sitter aside I thought Sterling was one of our better players tonight. Then again, tends to go missing against the likes of Liverpool and United domestically so not sure you can really call him a "big-game player".
If you look at the league table last season based on home form. The 2 worst home teams were Southampton and Norwich.What's this Lyon is seventh in the league thing that league was abandoned with 10 games to play if they're that shit they won't be converting chances against us
Well said.Champions League quarter finals against inferior opposition and we walked out with our tails between our legs with five defenders and two holding midfielders.
Changes little. We had all the wrong players out in all the wrong formation. Not what I personally expect from our manager in the biggest game of our season in probably our best chance of winning the European Cup.
I have a recurring nightmare of City feebly being knocked out of the Johnstone Paints Trophy by Curzon Ashton in 2055, with Gundogan still stinking out our midfield, occasionally knocking the ball sideways with his zimmer frame.
Pep will still pick him every single fucking week
Give it up ffs,obvious as fuckI think it will be Pep that decides our future not us.
And to be fair,i wont begrudge him that. 2 great record breaking seasons.
Barcelona are in trouble on,and off the field.Pep is connected to Club emotionally.His wife hates Manchester.Plus Covid fundamentally changed his life,and outlook,
The lure from his spiritual home might be too great.With Pochetinho waiting in the wings.He might feel he needs to seize the opportunity or lose it.
I also think Barcelona would see Pep as a Fireman,mediating between all factions at the Club,putting out fires.Right man at the right time.Rather than risking upheaval with Pochetinho.
Where as we are still a work in progress and perfect for Pochetinho and a new direction.
It is possible there will be an amicable parting of the ways over the next couple of weeks.
It is a real possibility in my opinion.He has completed a 4 year cycle which he says is the lifespan of his style and tactics.
And he has always said he will return to Barcelona at the right moment.
This might be it.
We will see.
