There’s different spins to look at the season, I don’t think it’s been a success. We can’t win everything every year, I know that but a semi against arsenal and quarters against Lyon are poor exits. Lyon mainly due to the silly team/formation change. Regardless id extend his contract as long as possible, no matter the small issues overall he’s been incredible for us.

You'e white-washing a pretty poor set of results. A better defence would be to look back at Pep's CV and to comment on the real weakness we have at central defence which is not a problem Pep created.Correct, and I wouldn't even call this season a "failure" anyway, most of the time our football has been the best in the PL, it's just had a number of games that failed to meet the high standard we'd set. Of the 9 PL defeats we should/would have won 5 had we put our chances away, Lyon obviously, the FA Cup semi, a couple of the rag games, and wolves were fails, but we did beat the new spanish champions twice 4 months apart, not an easy task by any means.
There's a lot of crap written in this thread recently.

We entered 5 competitions and won 2, and we were runners up in another, semi finalist and quarter finalists in the rest, most other clubs fans would think that a very good season, our problem is that in the previous 2 seasons, we've entered the same 5 competitions twice, so 10 in all, and won 7 of them, it doesn't matter who the coach is, that is a very hard standard to live up to.There’s different spins to look at the season, I don’t think it’s been a success.
For perspective 15 competitions, 9 won, in 3 seasons, this wasn't as good as the previous 2, but we still played some exceptional football, sadly we failed in 2 of the biggest cup games but that's cup gootball, and a few in the PL.

No I'm not.You'e white-washing a pretty poor set of results.
Oh Lordy! We cannot win anything by the midpoint of the season, so even if we were ahead in the League and in all Cups, that is no guarantee we wouldn’t be on the brink of yet another catastrophic failure of a season. And quite how you would measure ‘overall player morale’ is beyond me; show of hands in the dressing room? The support of the fanbase? Really? When there’s unlikely to be anyone in the stadium for months. “Sorry your Highness, Pep’s lost Bluemoon!”
If the last couple of seasons are anything to go by, our position in the league at the halfway point is an indicator of where we will finish by the end of the season as well. Guardiola can easily lose the dressing room as many managers have in the past and if the murmurs from the players are anything to go by many are already beginning to question some of his decision making. I'm sorry but the fans being in the stadium isn't the only way to gauge the support of the fans. Social media plays a huge role in determining whether the fans are behind the manager or not.
As a matter of interest, when did you find Manchester City ?
This is such a pathetic retort that has become a huge problem with many on this forum. If someone has an opinion that runs counter to the norm your first instinct is to call into question their fandom. Do one.

Because its a juvenile response that has no relevance to Guardiola earning a contract extension or not.

The murmurs also said that the bond between the players and the coach was still strong. Hence we do not need to worry about Pep loosing dressing room. Not to mention Pep is in very strong position with the board and the owners.

It's not juvenile, it's a straight question, your choice to answer it, and it does have relevance to your post slagging Pep off.Because its a juvenile response that has no relevance to Guardiola earning a contract extension or not.
