100%, 40 points, relax , right off the season and a serious rebuild.If we get to 40 points then whatever happens after it is a bonus.

Because if we don't pick up at least a couple of wins in the next 4 fixtures it will become a very serious situation.Why do you keep repeating this could worse on every thread ?
haha am I now.. i perceive myself differently! Like others said, we could get relegated and i'd still want pep to extend. as long as he's interested, for me he's got a lifetime appointment as the manager of this club, my trust in him is unshakeable. I just think that as things stand, he's clearly hasn't figured it out and is still shellshocked and so I expect the slump to continueNow I'm really worried as you are one of the most optimistic posters on here...I mean that as a compliment...
So you are essentially saying hes only as good as the players he has at his disposal?If sleepwalking is expecting him to abandon his ethos - then yes, wrong. Elite genii tend not to compromise.
The situation improves with players returning and new recruits.
This is Pep - going on about "primary job" doesn't apply in the way it might post Kendall period. We know what he can do with the correct tools in place.
Er, not taking into account other teams improving - been shouting and been shut down/derided on that for years. Complacency(and age) is the biggest destroyer of sporting dynasties. The club has let him down badly, granted, with his martyr type acceptance. I still think, however, that with the right players and Pep, we're still well ahead of others technically. The biggest difference is teams are a bit fitter and faster to combat us. Therefore our recruits need to be exceptional - nothing like the recent mediocrity.
Yes.So you are essentially saying hes only as good as the players he has at his disposal?
Saying it'll improve when players return is also an assumption based on nothing, we've had de bruyne, dias, and more return during this run and its only gotten worse. There is also absolutely no guarantee new signings will improve this either, yes Its probably the highest likelihood of it improving right now because its clear pep isn't going to change from this dire suicidal system he's employing at the moment.
I'd also say the fact that Pep isn't prepared to compromise to get results right now is a clear example of complacency which contradicts your whole argument. Yes I agree the last 4 transfer windows have been absolutely shambolic and he's been let down in that respect but he still has the players to be able to achieve better results, it should never be getting anywhere near only taking 4 points in 8 games - less than bottom of the league Southampton.
Yes.
Aa re Pep's complacency.
Apply it to other elite genii in sport.
Would they change/compromise or believe in themselves. That's what sets them apart. The others in the club stopped (for whatever reason) doing there jobs at as high a level. A real drop off.
We've been in the 2nd division. Nothing now is a 'serious' situation.Because if we don't pick up at least a couple of wins in the next 4 fixtures it will become a very serious situation.
And we won a title and were relegated the following season ;)We've been in the 2nd division. Nothing now is a 'serious' situation.
Genuinely, I'm more bothered about ramming the laughing down the scousers throats than I am by our actual league performances right now.And we won a title and were relegated the following season ;)
