Not a single English club has achieved winning the Premier League in 4 consecutive seasons. They are burnt out but they can be afforded a bad season

we already hold that recordI hate to say it,but I think I could be witnessing one of the quickest and most alarming drop offs in football history!?It’s a bit more than injuries etc..Don’t love the club any less mind!It’s just like City isn’t it?!We see things you’d never see…

I thought the same after seeing him in front of a camera after the game.Sick of reading him say we played good after a turgid performance. We fucking didn't! you don't lose 7 of the last 10 games if you're playing good.
Also just read him and a couple of the players talking about us creating chances, what chances? Was i hypnotised by the walking pace football and have completely blanked out these chances we had? We had one proper chance all game, not even enough to pluralise it.
If Pep truly cannot see the issues, What is his backroom staff doing? Why is nobody telling him his plans aren't working and they need a drastic change?
His imaginary standards seem to be accomplished if we pass the ball around and Erling gets chance or two. Winning or losing who cares.
And he seemed bothered by Gundo‘s comments about playing it simple.

He is doing the best he can under the circumstances.
Given time we will be back.
A lot of upheaval ahead and I am glad he is here to do it.
Seriously tho, get angry and be upset but doubting this manager is silly.
The player bought have been shit and the old players who we have relied on are old and can’t or don’t want to do it anymore.
This is not a coaching problem.

I’m on record as believing Pep will stay to turn this round. That said, I hope I’m just imagining seeing a bit of despondency creeping in around the place.
Will the older, unfit or exhausted players continue to play two games a week with no substitutions, rotation or respite? No doubt they’ll have to do the same again against the red shite. Will recriminations start to kick in with all the basic on-field mistakes?
A convincing win against the rags is vital for morale.

Quite a few looking for silver bullets in the January transfer window. How realistic is that, other than just a modest start to a rebuild?
He's Hitler in his bunker, surrounded by supposed friends who simply won't tell him the truth! Yes, we are so fortunate to have had such a fantastic, unmatched period of success, but the reality is that we are spent! The game is up, and in the space of 6 weeks, we've become an irrelevant mess!
I can see it, the players can see it, and even his most sycophantic supporters on here can see it, although far too many of these fan boys refuse to acknowledge what has happened and reconcile to the reality of where we find ourselves.

It's interesting and humbling that no matter how good someone is they always decline if they keep doing it long enough.
In football we've seen it with Clough, Keegan, Mourinho, Wenger. The only way to avoid it is to sense it early enough and get out. (Maybe Ferguson did or maybe he didn't, not sure)
Pep in hindsight should have got out after the 4 in a row. We'd have been disappointed but he'd have the rest he deserves.
He has been too kind to us. His loyalty is his strength and his weakness.
(All that said maybe he wins us the PL and CL this season and we all wonder at his genius. C'mon City!)

the State of this stat:
Since the start of November, Manchester City have conceded more goals (20) across all competitions than any other team from Europe's big five leagues.
That is damning. The players we put out are still better than 75% of those teams. Playing the same way with inferior players is foolish. Pep, you’re a genius but this is just lunacy. Why isnt he changing it?
