This season stinks of Pellegrini's final season with us. The tactics used have been very similar.
We get it you want him out.We did better in Pellegrini's last season than we have this season. At least we won a trophy.
Bear in mind also that Manuel Pellegrini was told he was being replaced by Pep at least halfway through the season. To be honest, I thought he did well in the circumstances.
What's Pep’s excuse?
He is caught between the old and new. Next season will be different.Echeverri making his debut in a cup final but not even on the bench tonight. That pretty much sums Pep up this season
We get it you want him out.
Your opinion is bizarre when you consider we’ve just seen 4 in a row and not to mention cup finals….I've wanted him to leave since we won the CL to be honest. That was the right time imo.
I don't think I'm alone in thinking that. It's all about opinions.

Well, a shit ton of injuries from September to January certainly didn't help.
We lost the balon dor winner, the player of the year went a bit shit, John stones was out injured, KDBs legs went, Kyle walkers head and legs went.....there's FIVE players that any team would missZzzzzz

It's what a squad is for. Stones absence was predictable. KDB and Walker had been on their last legs for at least 12 months. Phil Foden was burned out after last season.
More than capable back-ups were available for all of them apart from Rodri.
It's a squad game, you don't cry when a few get injured, you pull your socks up and get on with it.

It was more than a few. Players were having to take it in turns to play while injured, aggravating injuries further.
Anyway. You have your own ideas about Pep now and you're free to them, but you asked for excuses for him for this season - injuries would be it. Any team losing the key players we did would struggle.
Whether we should have let it get to this point is a related but different matter.
Yeah but when your squad comprises 8 top players who are all out at the same time, it affects everything.It's what a squad is for. Stones absence was predictable. KDB and Walker had been on their last legs for at least 12 months. Phil Foden was burned out after last season.

You have a very simplistic view of how to manage a team in the most competitive league in the world
We’re all entitled to our opinions & I have to say I totally disagree with yours because you have covered up the problems Pep faced
