I just think if you're asking him to negotiate on wanting to win every game, including league cup games, then ultimately you don't get the domestic/classic treble in previous (and future?) seasons. It's a high risk, high reward strategy.
Edit: I know you're not calling him out on the weakened team stuff, but even those criticisms fall flat for me.
I agree with the general point. But it was unnecessary to risk players like Dias in such a game given our injury crisis. Winning a treble without Rodri would be heroic but quite unrealistic. Focus entirely on the league and the CL: that should be our strategy this season.

A decision which would probably find favour with many supporters.

Don't disagree, I just feel like what his wife must say about him to the kids: you won't change him!I agree with the general point.

At the moment it's anybodies guess!How far are we falling?...
My bad, I meant Champs League, the other competitions, I think we may have a chance to win. Or we would have if we has been playing to our potential!
The new CL format is turning up some surprises, I'm just puzzling how Eufa are getting Real into the final given their slump in form.
Hacks me off no end that Red Dippers are top of both leagues. Aaaaggh!!

I've got a feeling he is going to walk, a couple more defeats on this bad run and it wouldn't surprise me if he jacked it in, his great team talks are all well and good for the players when we are winning everything, but I can't see the dressing room being 100% behind him when nothing is working

Why can’t you see the dressing room being behind him? If there is one manager on this planet who players will back and follow, it’s pep. Also, you don’t sign a two year extension and walk out on it 3 weeks later, that’s just not pep.I've got a feeling he is going to walk, a couple more defeats on this bad run and it wouldn't surprise me if he jacked it in, his great team talks are all well and good for the players when we are winning everything, but I can't see the dressing room being 100% behind him when nothing is working

He literally said himself that he would walk contract or no contract if he thought he could not fix it, is that "just not pep"?Why can’t you see the dressing room being behind him?
