Never doubt Pep

[butlerkb]

When you listen to his latest interview, you see how proud he is of this club for introducing his brand of football thru the academy so that when needed he knows he can trust that the young guys coming in can settle into the type of play required.lets hope, before he leaves us( later rather than sooner) he gets a chance to present a predominantly English/ academy dominated first team , which wins the league.How good would that be , watching this current crop I think it’s more than possible.

never have doubted Pep

I'll criticise him for his team selections in big games but a lot of City fans read into a slight on the fans that requires an assumption. They did not give him the benefit of the doubt. If I was Pep I'd be feeling quite hurt by that and I hope he realises that was more error of judgement by one individual.

I doubt Pep a lot in the Champions League or other big knockout games. Not as much as he seems to doubt himself though.

 

[samuelyeboah]

hope he stays for many many years :)

So much made of CL game decisions not working out. Not enough made of the games where his tweaks do work out.

Gnashing of teeth over Messi and Ronaldo but Pep was always the big prize.

As long as we have him we have a chance of winning every trophy.

Baldy knows best.

In Pep we trust.

never have doubted Pep

I did for the CL final, the second the team sheet came up, don’t think I was in the minority either .. All forgiven now though :-)

 

[Oooh Curley Wurley]

Has to be up there as the best coach ever - despite his occasional over thinking

We play the best football I have ever seen

So spoilt I rarely watch any other football apart from Finals (sentimental as only used to be able to watch those full games live on tv when younger)

The quality and quantity of those kids now appearing in the academy will do more than anything to make badly stay.

A would imagine the chance to coach those kids and impose his beliefs and principles would make it almost impossible to leave and let another coach get the benefit.

We have an incredible future to look forward to and after the last decade we have had, that is some prospect!

 

[Nihilist]

Pep's only flaw is messing up in some important games. If he would fix that he would be unstoppable.
There is no manager in the world able to put a great team together and make them play a more beautiful football. Touchel won the CL but with a team he didnt build himself and and PSG he didnt win the CL with a great squad plus cost them the title last season in a garbage league.Touchel is better at preparing for an important game but overall he isnt on the same level with Pep. Chelsea plays some boring football , it may be effective at the moment but its still very boring!!
Just wish Pep would be less stubborn and learn from his mistakes.

Pep and City are about bringing through kids and only opening the chequebook when necessary. Our strategy is to develop our own top top players who will win trophies

City will make money from kids who do not make it with us but they will be assured of a good career elsewhere if they work hard and prove their worth.

Touchel is better at preparing for an important game

I very much doubt that

I’m the same. Some of the games I’ve watched this season has been a borefest and only look forward to our games. The only reason i will watch a game is if it’s our next opponents.

Nice sentiment but I suspect the same crew who have made it clear on other threads they’re not happy with him will soon be along to post the same thing here.

 

[WestGorton]

Club must do their utmost to try and keep him for as long as possible.

 

[DTKOAG]

Just stop the brain farts and all will be good

 

[Keeper!]

I very much doubt that

Both are outstanding coaches.

 

[Marvin]

I didn't rate Tuchel that much at first because winning at PSG should not be difficult and their European record was not great. However he has done a fantastic job at Chelsea.

I pretty much agree with the comments about Pep. On occasion his plans for individual games have back-fired massively and have been really hard to fathom but overall he's a wonderful coach and I am really pleased he's at City. It still annoys me that some fan spokesperson thought it was a good thing to heap more pressure on him. It takes a leap of faith to assume Pep's comments were barbed but over the last year or so City fans are accused of all kinds including backing the UAE state over a diplomatic spat over an alleged spy/student, and no one has defended City fans, apart from isolated fans.

When you spend too much time on here you soon realise the common denominator is a total absence of football knowledge.
