klopp has a league title with the dippers and we have no champions leagues with pep so in that respect klopp has done more than pep.
I don't get this obsession with Klopp on here.

Klopp is an outstanding manager who sadly is doing an incredible job for the repulsive scousers.

But, it brings the best out of Pep, it makes this the most competitive league in the world and the reason Joseph Pep Guadioala will extend with us again.

Relish the challenge of Klopp, it what makes football the beautiful game.
 
It's frustrating. If UCL was a league format, we would have won at least 2 of the last 5(and more likely 3 or even 4). Zero doubs last year and the 100 points year would have been ours, and likely this year and 18/19.

What is more frustrating is that english sides have won this competition 3 times(I have no doubt Liverpool will beat Madrid), and we are better than them and Chelsea. I wouldn't care, if not for media and fans taking any excuse to say other teams are better than us. The players and Pep deserve to be considered as one of the best European teams ever(which we are), but they will not until they win this stupid competition

You can’t be known as one of the best European teams without actually winning it. It would be an odd sell. Remember most of Europe are not really that arsed with how many times an English side has won the premier.
The general consensus will be Pep isn’t very good at winning the champions league anymore. The reason for this is simply because Pep isn’t very good at winning the champions league anymore.
 
Good. We need to understand that what happened was an anomaly if you look at how pep went around trying to manage the game and did everything fine in my opinion. Our most important investment is to make sure Pep is tied up to a new contract and I really believe that we WILL eventually achieve the UCL but it's important to keep our domestic dominance going so we can have confidence in the CL, especially in the later stages.

I’m happy with Guardiola staying but what happened the other night isn’t an anomaly at all. It’s every fucking year.

We are never going to win that competition - certainly not under this manager.
 
Most honest pundits grudgingly accept we are the best team in Europe . So why don’t we win the damn thing . It has to be the mentality in the squad and the Manager in the final stages. It’s that will,desire, arrogance,belief, killer instinct that we seem to collectively lack .
 
We’ll rue the day we ever see the back of him. CL has been a disappointment year on year of course, but domestically the quality of football and the level of performance has been superb for 5 seasons now. Unfortunately, winning the CL is not about who plays the best football.
 
I like him and enjoyed the way City plays. But the feeling is growing about his ability to deliver the champions.
 
Yeah. Zinchenko was similar. And it's bizarre because it depletes everyone's energy. Look at Zinchenko in the Liverpool semi final. He was terrible because he'd played zero football. We have to make use of the squad.

As I say, we also have to have a bigger squad if the plan is to push for four trophies.
Zinchenko's head was all over the place in the New Year, hardly surprising with what was happening in his homeland.

Pep see's these guys work everyday not just for 90mins on match day, if players are not at it 100% in training they are out and so they should be.

If Jesus is "not at it 100% in training" to the point where he can't start a league match for 4 and half months, perhaps Pep should be doing something about it?

You can't choose to have a tiny squad and choose to just cut people loose for months on end or you get to May and everyone is exhausted.

De Bruyne hasn't been anywhere near 100% for the last two years but Pep keeps pushing him.

Some of our best players (De Bruyne, Bernardo, Walker and Gundogan) have been overplayed and tactically pushed beyond realistic physical expectations.

It's a small squad that includes youngsters who Pep rates but doesn't trust and won't use even when we're coasting to victory.
He's risk averse with kids, but prepared to risk playing worn out senior players for 90+ minutes.

That's our immediate problem imo.
 
oh he won the league once. he can retire then.

Pep has won the same amount of trophies on city alone that klopp has in his entire career
Im not saying klopp is better but the expectation is obviously lower so in that respect he has done very well especially if he wins the champs league again
 
More accurately, Pep has won 3 league titles and 5 cups, while Klopp has won 1 title and 2 cups.
So in that respect Pep has done FAR more than Klopp.
He has but two champions leagues change things if he wins the quad it changes things even further also expectations are lower for klopp. Anyone who doesn't think klopp has been a massive success is deluded imo.

I never said he isn't a success, I'm clarifying that Pep has been massively more successful

Agreed about Klopp. He’s the best manager the English game has seen since Ferguson. Bar none.
Its not just that he has won a league title and come second with 97 points, and it isn’t even that he has won one, (probably two in a couple of weeks) CLs as well as making a third final.
For me it is that his whole team, whomever he picks, plays with a confidence and arrogance that only the very best managers can instill.
Liverpool never ever look beaten. They always play with a belief that they will find a way to win. Think back to the turn around against Barcelona the other year. Does anybody think City under Pep would or could turn around a first leg deficit like that? No chance. He would have spent the week leading up to that second leg telling everyone who listened that Barcelona deserved to be there and we were still learning to play like a big club.

I think he’s great and I’d be delighted to see him extend as over a long season his deficiencies can be overcome with the quality of players he has been provided with, but I’m sorry he is second to Klopp in terms of his overall ability as a manager.
Pep takes great players and keeps them great, albeit whilst flogging them to death.
Klopp takes great players and makes them believe they are unbeatable and makes very good players into beasts.

A Klopp side would not have thrown away a two goal lead going into injury time against a poor Madrid side. Our players look, and have done for some time now, like a group that cannot function instinctively. The moment Madrid scored their first we went to pieces as our ability to play through setbacks has been exhaustively coached out of us.
And why the fuck doesn’t he use our youth set up more. No point in spending millions setting up the best academy in the world if we then let it’s highest potential lads move to rivals for peanuts because they cannot get sensible game time at City. Thank god Foden is a city fan or else no doubt would have left as well.

He’s a great manager. Only a fool would suggest otherwise, but he isn’t quite the very top level a la a Ferguson or a Klopp or a clough.
 
Lets see how he manages the remaining 4 games with regards to available fit players / rotation / more injuries / suspensions etc. I'm still seething about Wednesday's capitulation but my faith in Pep remains. There's only one other Manager I'd back to win all his Team's remaining games and, unfortunately, he's doing a blinding job down t'other end of the M62...
