What Clough was able to do given not only his finances but even more impressively his starting position was unbelievable. And to do what he did at 2 different clubs starting in the lower ranks...

We cannot kid ourselves that we are super rich and in theory could blow anyone out of the water with transfers if we wanted to and yes pep cane to city because we had everything and could afford him . Only one manager has done miracles without finances and that was in my eyes the greatest manager of them off in Brian clough .
Football wasn't as competitive back then as it is now. Sure, Ranieri did wonders with Leicester for a season, but nobody in his right mind would compare him to Pep.
Managing the biggest clubs on the planet these days is more difficult than winning with Leicester or Forest. And winning titles season in season out while revolutionizing football is beyond what Clough, Michels, Ferguson, Sacchi and Cruyff have done. Pep's the greatest.
You live by the Pep you die by the Pep...and we've done both...100 percent agree but you have to rrenenber peps ego and he also has to reinvent football every season.

Today was crucial for me and we blew it.We'll know after Everton away or Newcastle away. If we win fewer than 4 pts from those games it's like his first season. Win those games and we are likely to win the league again. For me, Everton away will be crucial.

I said in the game thread that the 4 minutes of ET felt like a big moment in the title race and well...

It wasn't for me. What's more, I sort of wasn't surprised. But if we don't win at least 7 pts from the next 3 games, it's over.

I assume Pep has restored Micah Hamilton to ball boy duties and we won't see him again this decade.
The ball was switched out wide to Olise in stoppage time and the closest guy to him was Jack, 15 yards away...Not sure why he couldn’t have swapped the two of them today?
During the last 10 we actually had Gvardiol making runs off the shoulder of their RB, with Grealish sat in at LB. Wtf?

I was delighted with the 4 mins as thought it would be 7/8. Their keeper was down for a while, they made all 5 subs and there were two goals. My delight evaporated from the minute Ederson inexplicably kicked the ball out of play and set off that hideous chain of errors.For me, too.
