The narrative that Pep loses because he tinkers and wins when he plays his best team in their best positions is one of the weirder narratives to have developed over the past couple of years. He's been doing mad things with inverted fullbacks since he got here (and Arsenal are top of the table doing the exact same thing). He's rotated the squad and adapted the squad in almost every game he's played. When it works we barely notice and when it doesn't we give him a hard time.

I suspect its because a few of the brainfart games are ones that really stick in the throat.

He knows he has to keep evolving the side both tactically and in terms of personnel. Sometimes it's subtle changes, other times it's more dramatic. But typically you only really remember when it goes wrong, because we're all amazing managers in our own heads and think we know the answers. Sometimes it goes wrong because the players don't perform, or because - on rare occasions - he goes for a complete curveball which the players aren't prepared for and just plays into the hands of the opposition. We win a lot of games, so when we lose we remember!

He seems to be in the mood to wind the press up at the moment. Picking the team the fans want. Short sharp answers on BBC on Sunday (albeit the questions were shite and half answered for him). Now admits to having some random ideas despite not having watched united! I'd imagine we do what we'd usually do away from home, go for control. Bernie wide right. Foden and Haaland and Rodri, Gundo and De Bruyne in the middle. We'll look to starve them of the ball, piss the fans off to calm the atmosphere and beat them comfortably.
