You can choose whatever you like, but either way and even if we end the season with nothing, the clubs offer to Pep to extend will remain on the table as it should because they would be stupid not to, and they aren’t stupid.To each their own. This season, if I have to choose between Loserpool winning the PL and us winning CL or us winning Pl and them CL I will certainly go with the former.
And then he complains about not having 5 subs and rarely makes more than 1 even when he can make 5.Having to make wholesale changes in a semi-final is a consequence of his lack of squad rotation in smaller games, lack of using youth players that are basically ornaments on the bench and his lack of substitutions unless we are comfortably winning, which isn't often recently.
He forced himself to not prioritise it, he played our nigh on our strongest XI in the quarters vs Southampton and a unnecessarily strong side vs Peterborough. There's no suprise some of our players are starting to look more lethargic/tired.
Yet stupid enough to fail to strengthen the obvious emerging weaknesses in the squad over a couple of Seasons!!You can choose whatever you like, but either way and even if we end the season with nothing, the clubs offer to Pep to extend will remain on the table as it should because they would be stupid not to, and they aren’t stupid.
Not what happened though, they only buy long term. Yes they could have bought an available short term stop gap, after all that strategy has worked so well for united.Yet stupid enough to fail to strengthen the obvious emerging weaknesses in the squad over a couple of Seasons!!
Sorry but disagree. On current form I’ d give us less than 50% chance of winning both the league and making the Champions Final. Waiting for the perfect player is a strategy that can leave you exposed as your squad burns out/ gets injured..The Dippers have strengthened with ‘stop gaps’ and it may deliver for them. God forbid the best 22 year old breaks a leg or does his cruciate in his first game for us.Not what happened though, they only buy long term.

Our way we won the league last year probably will this and then next have the best 22 year old centre forward available. So not so daft.
Right, well history tells us you’re wrong. Even if this year we don’t win the league you’re still wrong long term planning is always better than short. Over the last 10 years we’ve won the most trophies with good plannig, and with good planning over the next 5 we will win the most.Sorry but disagree.

Sorry still disagree .What long term plan was in place in the 5 year span from Aguero declining as an elite striker till now. What is the long term plan to replace an aging Fernandinho. What is the long term plan to replace Kolorov with a top quality left back.?? I think like many big Corporations an element of complacency is there that the dominance will go unchallenged.Right, well history tells us you’re wrong.

Of course he could get a bad injury, so could any player for any club, including any stop gap you think we should have bought last summer.
And your analysis was dribble so...jot that down.Resorting to expletive language unveils your low IQ and proves how thick you are. It is all about opinions and I stand by mine until I am proven wrong. As I said, I do not give a toss if you do not agree with me, on the contrary your poor communication proves that my analysis struck a chord.
This is very reminiscent of last season situation when we had several fixtures against Chelsea in a short span of time and Pep started tinkering with the team and do his usual stupid overthinking. The avoidable loss against them in the cup got into Pep and players head prior to CL final and cost us a title that we could have clinched easily ! I do not buy into the “ I do not care about CL” nonsense and winning the PL title won’t make up for it in any way shape or form. I won’t forgive him if he bottles it again and he will go down in history as a stubborn, clueless and overrated coach as far as I am concerned. Not winning the PL and CL this season will be criminal and will tarnish all Pep’s achievements with City as that would offer the titles to the dippers on a silver platter. My take might be unpopulare among Pep’s worshippers on here but i don’t care.
I made myself clear. I am entiltled to my opinion, if anyone is willing to debate it respectfully I will be more than happy to read their thoughts. There is no gospel truth and this is forum not an echo chamber and that was part of the reason I joined in. People who can not accept different opinions are toxic.And your analysis was dribble so...jot that down.
