I would just love someone with a proper PLAN B…..not just throw on the subs between 65 and 70 minutes…Pep is so stubborn especially when he’s got the team selection so horribly wrong.That's why we are where we are. The problem is maintenance of performance when Pep leaves.
Which brings us back to the OP!
Personally, I'd prefer to see a lot more flexibility in our style of play when Pep goes, as I find pass, pass, pass rather unentertaining against packed defences.
If Txiki stays, it will almost certainly be more of the same; ie, Enrique. If I'm being honest, I'd rather see Klopp than him.
Another 3 years of false 9s ?I see Pep signing on again for a further 3 years
But is still the best and wins more, nobody is perfect and what makes him great also is what sometime makes him fallible. You take the rough with the smooth. With Pep there is a greater proportion of smooth than almost anyone else.I would just love someone with a proper PLAN B…..not just throw on the subs between 65 and 70 minutes…Pep is so stubborn especially when he’s got the team selection so horribly wrong.
So just throw a big man on to lump it up to. Because let's face it, when bores throw out this plan B stuff that's what they mean. Thinking a manager who has evolved the game more than most over the last 20 years has nothing to offer but make a sub at a certain minute for the sake of it or just gets his team to pass for the sake of it is simplistic thinking at its best.I would just love someone with a proper PLAN B…..not just throw on the subs between 65 and 70 minutes…Pep is so stubborn especially when he’s got the team selection so horribly wrong.
For all Pep’s flaws his sides still have played the best brand of winning football that any of us has seen from City . Only Mancini’s 2011/12 side has come near in my opinion.But is still the best and wins more, nobody is perfect and what makes him great also is what sometime makes him fallible.

Can't see that happening. I think he's already made his mind up to leave in May 2023 whether or not we've won the CL.I see Pep signing on again for a further 3 years

Pellers first year in charge was quite impressive?For all Pep’s flaws his sides still have played the best brand of winning football that any of us has seen from City . Only Mancini’s 2011/12 side has come near in my opinion.

Although there's an element of truth in there, it's a bit presumptuous to think that every 'plan B' will involve simply lumping the ball up to a Niall Quinn type for the last 10 minutes of a game.So just throw a big man on to lump it up to.

Haha! I recall the last 5 mins of the CL final revolved around Walker trying and failing to launch long throws into the 6 yard box. That's as simple as it gets.Although there's an element of truth in there, it's a bit presumptuous to think that every 'plan B' will involve simply lumping the ball up to a Niall Quinn type for the last 10 minutes of a game.
Modern coaches don't all rely on the Sam Allardyce / Graham Taylor book of football, even though that can be the right thing to do and works perfectly well sometimes.
Fans don't give a shit how the ball hits the back of the net if their team is 1-0 down with 5 minutes to go. They don't care if comes from a long ball or tika taka - They just want to see the coach offer something more than introducing substitutes doing more of the same.
It's a simple game, sometimes keeping it simple is the best thing to do.
You're being generous with the unentertaining bit, boring more like.That's why we are where we are. The problem is maintenance of performance when Pep leaves.

That's Pep's plan B,C, and D sorted then.Haha! I recall the last 5 mins of the CL final revolved around Walker trying and failing to launch long throws into the 6 yard box. That's as simple as it gets.
I was trying to be diplomatic :-))Your being generous with the unentertaining bit, boring more like.

So you’re saying get rid and bring in somebody else who has more nounce than Pep, somebody capable of changing the game and knows more tactics. Cool.That's Pep's plan B,C, and D sorted then.
We need someone who can totally change a system during the half time break, and has the guts to make the necessary substitutions early rather than at 65/70 minutes.
Simplistic is thinking the only other option other than pass pass pass pass is lump it up.So just throw a big man on to lump it up to.

No, I was saying those who say we need a plan B usually mean lump it up. It seems in your haste to jump in you haven’t actually got me.Simplistic is thinking the only other option other than pass pass pass pass is lump it up.
Pep or Wimbledon gotcha. Big chasm in between.
On the fence then Jules...?I would rather eat shit than see klopp at city, he can fuck right off the bingo faced twat
That shows your enormous ignorance of football.I would just love someone with a proper PLAN B…..not just throw on the subs between 65 and 70 minutes…Pep is so stubborn especially when he’s got the team selection so horribly wrong.
