Mancini took over a largely poor squad and created history.

Pellers won a double in his first season, a trophy and a CL semi in his last.

I'm honestly not even that angry about tonight. I kind of expected it. The blame is by no means all on Pep though. The buying policy has been largely shite since the summer after the title win.

It's not actually Peps fault that this coming summer we need a minimum of 9, maybe as many as 11 new first teamers buying, to say nothing of the squad players that will need to be bought. Easily as much as £350-450m to spend again and then another season in transition to bed them all in.

It's a sad reflection that I go into games like tonight, and next time against Liverpool thinking "anything other than a thumping is a result".

I genuinely and honestly feel sorry for Pep (which is a change from earlier in the season). It's becoming clear to me that he has been sold a pup.

Pellegrini won a title with Mancini's team, the fact we have to spend another few hundred million just to compete in a league that has Leicester as the best English team in Europe speaks volumes. As a club we have had very little credit for what we have achieved and if you take the blue tinted specs off it's quite understandable really.

I agree, let's ditch Pep. Clearly had way too long at City. What is it? 2/3 of a season? Maybe even 3/4 of a season. One defeat in the League Cup; two in the Champs league. None in the FA cup. That, allied to the cataclysmic league form where we're currently dicing with joint 2nd. Yep, sack the ****. Len knows best.

Once we get in better defenders i e those that manage to hold their own against the better teams we will see what the side is capable of under Pep.

We should have replaced a number of players over the past two /three seasons but for a number of reasons we haven't and its the main reason why we have regressed.
 
Well, after reading Pep's statements post match it sounds like the team just didn't follow his instructions 1st half. Cowards.

That goes down to player's characters once more. Thist should be a main focus in our future transfer policy.
No need to talk about Pep leaving. I love his way to play and it will get better after the summer overhaul.


But hey, just thinking about Gabriel was available tonight.
Feckin hell!!
 
dont think an english team will ever win the champions league until they reduce the amount of games played

It's difficult to disagree with a word of that.

As I said in an earlier post I am beginnning to think (actually started to think it a while ago) that Pep has had the job at city sold to him under hugely false pretences.

To give a manager who is the best in the world, a job at the most scrutinised club on the planet, in the hardest league to win in the world, a squad that contains players like Kolorov,Sagna, clichy as regular starters, not to mention an aging Yaya, Silva, Kompany, as well as a limited Ottamendi, and an injury prone Aguero and say "go on mate, the entire world is watching, crack on" was negligent in the extreme.

Seriously, I feel sorry for him. He is clearly a decent and honourable man, but privately I would bet my life that he is fuming at the job he has been handed.

Not having that tbh. He's ditched the keeper and put Harts no.2 in and got a shit left back playing in CD instead of Mangala. The result is were leaking goals!!! No shit!! I could have told you that would happen before the season started ffs!
Quiet ridiculous really.

I've just had to come back to this again, I mean, last year if I would have said kolorov in CD would be our best option in front of Willy people would have thrown punches at me for being stupid!
We're out of the CL because of sheer stupidity and stubbornness.
I'm not saying pep is shit or being over dramatic but jesus what did people expect would be the result of those actions.
