Mentality

Last week I did the City tour - which by the way I recommend to anyone. When we got to the City dressing room, our guide told us that for each match every player is given an i-pad with full details about the player(s) they are going to be up against.

My thought, though I was too polite to say it out loud was, 'You could have fooled me!'

We need leaders on and off the pitch. I hope Pep takes us to another level entirely. Because of his record, I feel sure he will.

An ipad ffs!!
What's wrong with the manager speaking to the player and giving him instructions on man marking on set pieces, tracking their runs, not giving them space and nullifying their strengths and exposing their weaknesses?

It makes my blood boil though Karen.
Imagine the likes of Mercer, Shankly, Clough and the gpc reading that.
Some of the players can use this as an excuse. If they get asked how they lost their man so easily, they can just say, "well I was watching him on my ipad before the game but the picture froze so I didn't know what to do"

Next season pep will manage and not put his trust in the players to do the right thing without proper direction

It could end up being like the film "Chicken run", with the rooster turning up and promises to teach them all how to fly!!!

So we are getting a manger who won't take any shit from the super stars but isn't that against the holistic bulshit we were fed?
When we had the similar manager, he got sacked for not sucking the untouchables cocks and followed the Chelsea's path letting the cancer keep growing .
Hypocrisy ?

Demanding 100% effort is a bit different than trying to teach someone a lesson though.
The turtle did the latter at Barcelona and fucked them up.
When Pep did it, the slackers got moved on and replaced with committed players.
