Think hes working miracles this season. We lost a major part of the team in gundogan. De bruyne has been out most of the season as has stones. The fact were still in the 3 major comps is a huge accomplishment after last seasons achievements. It would be easy to take a breather. But no.
no one has won 4 prems on the spin and for good reason. Its a gargantuan effort to win it once. Never mind back to back to back.
He can be a little stubborn sometimes, like his persistence with alavarez in midfield, but hes a genius and hes right a hell of a lot more then hes wrong.
Some of the performances are on him this season though. His tactics and team lineups in certain games have been incredibly baffling.
I suppose he was due a bad season.
I think until we play Real Madrid as well, we cannot judge the Champions League. Easiest group we have ever had with teams that were barely conference league level involved, and then we got Copenhagen in the R16.
We would have got a harder run in the Europa League.
This season all stems from the transfer window in my opinion. Pound for pound the worst since 2012 when we got Scott Sinclair etc...
It should have been made a priority by Pep and Txiki to have offered Gundogan the 2 years plus 1 contract he wanted last January.
Anyone watching French football last year would have told you while Doku has the potential, he showed nothing of note to justify he was ready for City. His next move was to a West Ham or Brighton, maybe Spurs.
Lost 30/40 goal contributions a season in Gundogan and Mahrez and replaced them with gambles and potential.
Nunes was the very definition of panic buy and Walker should not have been pandered to like he was.
Kovacic to be fair was a no brainer and I think Gvardiol will be great long-term for us.
