I’m not emotionally mature enough for this shit.

If that were remotely true I’d cream my pants.

There’s no one close.

What I mean is were specifically hiring someone whos similar to pep. Plays same way, same principles. Wont change anything within club etc

They won a weird friendly summer tournament and a European competition where they had outspent the entire rest of the field combined. I dunno. Guess Ill wait and see!

You can only win the comps you’re in - but not all of them if you have a shit board that tells you which players you can have

Chelsea fan I know, who knows his stuff, said they looked very good with plan A most of the time, Maresca’s weakness is having a plan B in-game when something goes wrong.

Ironically that’s what one or two have said about Pep in the heat of the moment.

Could not be more wrong, if they did. Pep's great, great strength for much of his tenure here has been knowing how to tweak it, in game, or at half-time. We won't have another manager as good at doing that, whatever else his strengths might be, because Pep is a peerless reader of a game and seeing which way it's flowing. Perhaps the greatest there's ever been.
That hasn't always been true, there have inevitably been matches where he stuck rigidly to what we'd been doing even when it clearly wasn't working, but they've been very, very rare. Last season he was almost obliged to because of the slaughter list in terms of injuries.

Matchday thread will be happy as he is shit and has been found out most weeks according to many on it.

 

[I'm Blue]

The Josep Guardiola Sala Stadium

Better than ‘The Quitter Stand’ ; )

 

[Rammy Blue]

Out with the old, in with the new.

Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

City will ALWAYS be bigger than one man.

 

[Gundoggin]

I hate the profession generally but they’re not going to wait for fucking Arsenal to finish.

They want to get the story out to generate activity on their platforms.

It’s just business.

They’re all biased cunts but on this occasion, I don’t blame them. Most have said positive things about Pep in the releases.

Holt is acting like a first class **** as always

Absolute scum profession

No wonder Pep treats them all with disdain

I dont know its going to be hard watching us going from complete dominance to competing for the top 4 and a sporadic title now and again because that is how difficult the league has become due to the City/Liverpool battles effectively improving everyone below sonthey could stay in touch. Pep made the league more difficult and continued to evolve and dominate and just as he is close to his full transformation again he goes

We are not turning back into little old City ? The foundations are built we are now a major club and any new manager will get the best players to work with

 

[discopop]

Mokbel along with Sam Lee have been doing this will he won’t he line for fucking months now and when read the article it tells you nothing new.

The noise is he’s off but those two cunts are not wired in but making noise is traffic.

 

[bg1968]

It wasn’t great from Burnley , it was more that arsenal are shit, as was the ref and var

Just read a match report , they scored from a corner and Havertz avoided a nailed on red card , the Goons are certainly riding their luck

You and 90% of the thread, me included

This debunk will be an all timer

He would never use subs early enough until Pep 2 arrived

Just trying to find some positives :-)

 

[mattcity5]

Really well put.

Just to add (in case it hasn't been mentioned), in terms of games managed, he'll surpass McDowall as having managed the most when we play Villa.

Big difference this time is that The Mail and The Athletic have both made actual calls in their headlines.

Don’t need a plan b if a can be tweaks and works. It’s how pep stays ahead.

midfield is what my brother said they went through a couple of game with knocks to important midfielders in his system and they dipped a little. Might be just because he didn't have the personnel to cover that. All I know from my brother is his system at leicester required goal scoring wingers on both wings that could get the ball to Vardy

 

[CΛL]

The thing is , its not fresh ideas though is it? Were purposely hiring a carbon copy of pep?

That’s true enough to be fair mate, guess we’ll see.
