Pep Guardiola: “The last two seasons, it was an owner from the Premier League that says that can’t happen again. City winning the titles that way with 100 points is not good for the Premier League. Now it’s Liverpool, the owner has to be concerned again..."
“Two seasons ago we had 100 points, 19 from United and Mourinho and I don’t know how many from Liverpool. In that period Liverpool were strong, they’re stronger right now, today is not the day to reveal what you have to do."

Indeed he is. Not a position I envy.

So, Pep clearly trying figure out his best CL team, which probably isn’t going to include Garcia, THB, Foden or Doyle.
However, it’s hard not to think that he will be here next season. Not sure Khaldoon will play favorites with a young guy like Poch out there waiting for the job.
Pep has cut a frustrating figure for months now, while saying all the right things about players and performance, because I don’t think he wants to roll a grenade across the floor and walk out.
Hard to see at least 4, possibly 6, of these players being here in 6 months, let alone 18, and there is LOTS of rebuilding to be done.
Someone mentioned ”papering over the cracks” in the past, but I think FFP has severely restricted the club from doing what they wanted, but now it is getting to the point that key areas need a serious rebuilding.
Never a dull moment being a Blue, but it’s hard to complain too much about 7 out of 8 domestic trophies in 2 seasons, back to back PLs, in another Cup Final, and still 2nd in the League.
Liverpool have walked it because they’ve taken their chances and had the rub of the green. Hard to say City didn’t have some of that...Aguuuuuuueeeero! anybody?! 100pts in last minute? Sterling’s last minute winners, etc, etc, etc.
No-one can, or should, expect to win the League every year, especially considering a waning City were going up against a building Liverpool; a team we pipped at the post by 1 point and who only lost 1 game all season LAST season. Thankfully, it was to us!
Onwards and upwards, but I think it will be without Peo given the last few games, and what looks like it could be a very difficult night in Madrid in a few weeks.

It felt like that during the game. Even though the league has been gone for months it felt like the Arsenal away defeat in 2012 under Bobby, where Khaldoon himself got involved.I've got the feeling that this is a serious turning point.
We have had too many wake up calls this season anyway, so I doubt it will change much. Lets hope that this season is just a write off, we have learned in europe and my concerns over Peps effect on the squad is unfounded

It’s clearly known within the club what is going on but this isn’t the time to raise it.
The reality is we were indeed excellent, but missed countless chances and conceded whenever they decided to shoot.
Today was on us. Take the opportunities and we, deservedly, win that game at a canter.
