If we have to wait for the summer we will. In the end doesn’t matter what opinion you or I have that’s what will happen.We will qualify for europe , most likely CL if not europa. No team can qualify for c/l every year forever, at least not in the premier league. Think our 12 consecutive years is remarkable.The problem is this would have to wait until the end of the season and the way things are going, City will not qualify for Europe which might make it difficult to make the quality signings that are needed. It seems to me that someone more short term is needed to turn the tide.
Another issue is that the players who are not at the end of their time here (Haaland, Doku, Gvardiol etc) are not being maximized under Pep's style. So to me it looks like a good moment to start a new cycle, where a new manager is given half a season as low pressure adaptation period, short term reenergizing the team with fresh atmosphere, get the most out of the current group, reach the CL, then get players in the summer that would complement the current ones in his vision. And I honestly believe that these players need a more quick transition kind of coach.
I understand City fans are very attached to Pep because of the success he's brought but its always better to leave before you become a villain. And knowing how Pep is notorious for his burnouts and needing time away to get his mojo back and then find a new challenge, I simply think its better to be proactive than reactive.
Neither did Lewis and Foden before Pep played them a few times.But not of playing in the first team for pep
He doesn't get picked though while the other 3 do. Why do you imagine that is?McAtee is same age as Doku and older than Savinho and Lewis. He's got experience of the league.
Rational? What, as in placing one’s faith in the same game plan, week after week after week, even though the players, demonstrably, do not have the attributes (the chief of which is ‘legs’) to make it work?But we have young players in the team who are getting battered , throwing teenagers into the games you listed is stupid imo . The players we have have to get us out of this funk , the youngers ones we have and i include thor in that know what they have to do and are trying .teenagers with no experience of playing in the first team are not going to help, they might have the legs to run but then what
I get people are upset but please be rational
Because Pep doesn't think he's good enough, now that doesn't mean Pep is right.He doesn't get picked though while the other 3 do. Why do you imagine that is?
Not for certain no, but it the most likely thing isn’t it. I’d guess at about 90% chance Pep Guardiola best coach in the world that works with him and kept him with the squad right maybe 10% chance a poster sat on his keyboard on a football forum right.Thats being generous.Because Pep doesn't think he's good enough, now that doesn't mean Pep is right.
We have young players with legs though , but we have stopped pressing from the front and winning the ball back , nobody is moving into dangerous positions and kev and gundy are not there to put the great balls in to them, then defenders are making individual mistakes and the attackers arent scoring goals . They are injured and burnt out , i dont get why there is a lack of understanding of that . I agree the drop off is steep and alarming but some posters seem to think we were on for number five which is ridiculousRational?

Well if Pep won't play them how are they supposed to get first team experience? They could not do any worse than the supposed experienced players are doing. 5 points in about 2 months isn't anything to write home about.But not of playing in the first team for pep
