I think Pep's aim is to win us the Champions League, and I think he'll stay at City till he wins it. If he manages to win it us this season I won't be surprised to see him leave a year early. If that transpires to be the case I think he'll take a break before his next venture.
 
pepe must stay otherwise Klopp has free reign of england for next 5 years
everybody else is crap

Is this hint that hes not extending

It’s almost confirmation I’d say. “my final period here” can only mean the end of next season or (much less likely) this season. But I think we’ve known all along that we were very lucky to even get one extension out of him.

I am not saying that we should follow Pep like he is the 2nd coming of Jesus and never question anything he does but he is the best manager around and if anyone thinks any replacement will be better, you are basically asking for perfection and will be sorely disappointed. Every manager has faults, including Pep, Mancini had them and Pellegrini definitely had them and they both won us PL titles. We will not find that perfect manager, no matter who we appoint, or how much they win. No manager in the history of the game has won everything, every season and it is completely normal for us to have off-seasons like the current one but when did our off-seasons of years gone by, ever involve cup finals and CL knockout stages? I moan a lot on here, particularly about individual players but I am also fully aware of just how lucky I am, to be supporting this great club, which is currently managed by the best manager in the world. I think some on here need to be careful what they wish for.

Absolutely fine. You talk much sense.

However you also name two other managers who took us to titles in the last few years. There’s nothing to suggest we’ll grind to a halt when Pep does leave. The football might not be quite as beautiful but that might be counterbalanced by a little extra pragmatism.

Sorry mate but i cant agree at all.

Tactically Sterling through on goal with just the keeper to beat or Dave a few yards out with effectively an open goal says not much was wrong at all.

Several very good saves as well.

Ball was in the net twice but unless being slightly offside is now a tactical mistake then im really struggling to see how we tactically got it wrong the other night as we dominated the game, dominated corners, dominated play in the boxes and dominated chances.

Players just didn't put them away its that simple so yes it was a poor result on the night but on the whole it was a very good result as we are at Wembley and its was a very good performance, finishing aside.

Wasteful finishing and slight offsides were indeed the biggest problem in the second leg. As you say, those weren’t down to the manager. Some would argue with Sterling’s selection and Pep’s substitutions though.

The main tactical error IMO was in the first leg, where the tie could have been easily killed off to give a wide safety margin. As it happened, we had to field a strong side in the second leg and we came very close to fcuking up.

Sometimes there’s too much of an eye on the next match. It’s a bit like driving up to a roundabout, seeing there’s nothing approaching and accelerating off. Bang! The car in front of you hasn’t moved!
 
Rest of the season to prove that he deserves to be here next season. He is on a Pochettino like downward spiral whether we like it or not

It’s his fault for our players missing open goals and pens all the time is it? Our general play is still quality, he’s been let down in the final third in to many games this season. Nice to see our fans showing some loyalty.
 
Pep picking certain players is very strange, stubbornness or desperation, who knows. His players have let him down but Pep hasn't covered himself in glory today. Ok there is time left in today's game but regardless his selection at times is very strange.
