As a rule, yes. But not always. Some times Pep just needs to do the basics and get them right. Subs and seeing out the game. Today was a prime example.

YOur opinion is that we drew, so that's why he doesn't know what he's doing. By your own logic, that means he is the best ever, because he is the manager that wins the most. Stuff wrong again? This was our best match of the season. We could easily win 0-6 today.
You can discuss individual plays by players to say if it was a bad decision or not, but with managers you have to watch the entire game and set up. You can say, he probably should have subbed before. That's one thing, and another is saying: he doesn't have a clue at what he is doing. Can't you really see the difference?
No you assumed my reasoning for saying that was because we drew but it wasn't. It was due to the fact he made certain changes to late, one in particular which had he done sooner we may have finished Forest off, obviously it goes both ways because had he taken Kev off earlier & we draw people would say we'd have had a better chance had Kev stayed on.

He had a number of options to react to a changing Forest game management . He froze again. 87 minutes to make meaningful subs is an insult.

Criticism is ridiculous today. Arguably one of our best performances. Today is a freak result. Play like this between now and May and we win it

Pep has had some odd games but today wasn’t one of them. It was complete domination from start to finish. It’s not on Pep if the players miss chance after chance. We should have been 5 or 6 up and people would have been on here calling it one of our best performances of the season. We were excellent today, let down not by Pep, but some of the worst finishing you’re ever likely to see.
Bring on someone else who might've finished some of the chances then.
Easy to say, but how do we know the players he'll bring on won't just miss the same chances?Bring on someone else who might've finished some of the chances then.

Fair point, we don't. It was surely worth a try though. Also could've made other changes to close up shop. It's not all down to him today but he has to take some of the blame.
Agree the performance was really good but still think changes should have been made alot early.Criticism is ridiculous today. Arguably one of our best performances. Today is a freak result. Play like this between now and May and we win it
It wasn't a freak result, we have a bad habit of concededing from one shot on target.
