I don’t know how a manager with his CV can build that 17/18 side and then replace it with this side. Everything that was brilliant about that 17/18 is gone.
He has turned us into slow, plodders all over the pitch.
We have gone from being dangerous from 5 or 6 positions, to KDB. Basically stop KDB and you stop City. How? How can Pep watch this and stick with it week in week out?
Our wingers/wide forwards, are absolute shite. Mahrez we all know about but yep I am afraid to say it, Sterling is shite as well (on the left). We cannot play the formation we do and have wide players who contribute nothing. How many assists between them this season? Compare it to Sane and Sterling...quick, incisive, deadly. Again, how can Pep watch this current two and think it is even remotely good enough?
We have become so easy to play against and I am amazed that Pep is overseeing that. The opposition managers team talk each week is so obvious and simple. “Stop KDB, the wingers will do fuck all and they will always give us a chance on the break”. How can it be that simple?
