You earn respect, peps earnt it throughout his career, show you respect, what have you done to earn it, shut upfirst of all, fuck off, show respect
second of all, he's been incredibly cowardly this season with basically every decision
Your point taken too. At the detailed level I would also query some decisions. At the overall level I can see why he’s not going too hung-ho as we go through a sticky patch. Lyon was a clusterfuck.Ok your point taken. However this has been going on more than short-term. Fielding the side he did against Lyon was not to stabilize but a defensive act which did not aspire confidence in team.
Even if you can justify the approach against Liv, going with a defensive sub in a tied game against WH with 10-15 minutes to go is pragmatic in what way to stabilize when you have a 20 year old who score in CL on the bench ready to take field.
Unfortunately with the schedule as it is there is no relief coming to make it a short-term issue. A pragmatic approach of being satisfied with draws will eventually hurt the position in the table.
This is a bold claim. Care to back it up please?first of all, fuck off, show respect

People slated Pep because he never had a plan B and now we seem to be finding 1 gets tons of shit YCNMIU.
Pep is pragmatic because our transfer policy has been shocking.
Our replacements for our outgoing players have been inferior. Rodri would not even stand out at Championship team for example.
When you have worse team than you had, Pep has to make adjustments. We can't play the football we used to.
Problem is in the office, have said this for years.
Would help if we had a fully fit striker wouldn't it?Plan B is 5 league goals in the last 5 matches. We used to score close to 3 goals on average and it declined to 1.
Our transfer policy has been good, in fact very good. Rodri played for Atletico Madrid, not a championship team. Cancelo played for Juventus. Ruben Dias from a Portuguese top club. Mahrez was PL player of the season with plenty of goals and assists. Ake was the best player of Bournemouth. Ferran Torres is an exciting young two-footed player who has an eye for goal.
Next year we will buy a striker in place for Aguero. No manager is supported as much as it is at City. Chelsea had one good window in like 5 years, same for Liverpool when they bought VVD, Allison, Kieta, Fabinho all in the same year.
