Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

[dctid]

What was last season then?

His first season was a transition season

 

[CWMCFC]

Transition season, we are allowed one , it is not pretty but it will come good , we had two new players out there

That ‘transition season’ has been going on for coming up to two years now.

Do you ever let any form of objectivity enter your defence of all things City?

We can rightly be critical of the current situation given how long it’s been going on for.

I’d imagine next season will be the transitional season when we make some big signings up top and need them to bed in.

This is a fruits of the decline in quality season.

A VAR shitshow.

What was last season then?

That was a pre transition season

What a load of bollocks. Nothing transitional at all. We are getting worse as time goes on not better.

I would say our defense is a lot better with dias and ake imo. Our attacker have chances and we don’t finish idk how you can blame pep. We had great chances vs Liverpool yet gabby missed a sitter of a header and kdb missed a pk and we finished 1-1 is that peps fault too?

He coaches them and he picks them. To some people when we win its down to Pep and the players when we loose.

 

[wolviedinho]

Expectations needs to be realistic. The team is poor at the minute and has been for nearly 2 seasons.

Pep is not fixing this current problem. The past is the past.

The here and now and all involved are not performing.

On current form with no major changes and we will finish outside the top 4.

The football is so slow and boring. The cohesion is non existent. Pointless possession with no creativity and no clear shots on target.

Pep can say what he wants and dress it up how he sees fit. We can all see it’s a mess and a huge drop off in standards.

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

It’s the same type of defeat though. We have been found out.

This was the first time I’ve been really angry... FFS can fk off. What he sees I him is beyond me. Foden starts every time above him and that was glaringly obvious tonight. Also play 2 up top or an extra bod to get amongst their 6 at the back..clueless tonight and he’s stealing the 20m a year on that shit show of team selection and tactics

He picks the team I get what your saying however if we have 5-6chamces to finish sitters and we don’t you surely can’t say oh he picked a shitty team. The players get immense wages to produce and they are not. Pep is very stubborn he does questionable stuff but a lot of the fault has to come on the players too. Some seem like they have no desire.

A thread set up for a topic two and a half years in advance.

I might start a 'City vs Spurs 2030' pre match thread, see you all there.

We are playing shit , pep waits for us to be too far behind before he makes subs , drives me mad but i like to be less kneejerk and more trying to understand why

This will be Pep's third "transition" season in five years... If the transition is from a good team to a shit one then mission accomplished.

We have lost vinny and dave , dinho and sergio hardly play , we have a team that needs to find its own way

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Not the greatest start to the new contract extension , full of optimism before the Spurs game but its now been swiftly removed , and the reality could be that this is a season of rebuilding and consolidation , but i can put up with a season out of the sun ,, i managed over 35 years so this is a walk in the park , we have had a good ten years and i do not see a better coach than Pep around at the moment.

 

[ID70]

Two trophies to go plus Champions League.

Not good enough to win the Champions League

 

[willipp]

We have lost vinny and dave , dinho and sergio hardly play , we have a team that needs to find its own way

And? We have invested hundreds of millions in replacements over the past 3/4 years and in reality none of those players look close to filling that void. Nothing transitional about it.

 

[I'm Blue]

Time for him to change his tactics or do one.

 

[balotellishaircut]

if we finish outside the top 4 I think Pep will walk or resign tbh.

Apart from free kicks and corners, we never seem to have more than one player in the box You would think that might change at 2-0 down but sadly not.
