What makes you think things will improve? Just curious. No history of addressing any short comings we have.

No history of addressing problems? Are you sure? I remember his 1st season with an ageing team. Then we had our best 2 seasons back to back in our history and smashed every record in the league and were screwed 2 seasons running in champs league by terrible decisions and just plain old bad luck. Last year we had a dip in form. Mendys injuries have ruined him, not peps fault. Who is out there? Name me 2/3 world class leftbacks that are gettable. Bernado had a terrible season who saw that coming? Laporte injuries, is that peps fault. Cancelo struggling to settle is that peps fault? Stones going into his shell and getting injuries none stop, is that peps fault? Is he perfect, no. Nobody is but is this his fault, no, not at all. I'd like to know who's fault it is we didn't replace vinny last year or who dragged their feet this year. Also who decided rodri could fill fernas position coz that's a bad decision. I also believe pep had a mare versus lyon. But let's think about this,
Mancini does well we regress
Pelegrini does well we regress
Pep does well guess what? We gave regressed. Maybe it isn't the manager, maybe its the recruitment team. You can't lose vinny, sane, silva and have a 35 year old ferna, 32 y/o nico, injury ravaged mendy and not invest in midfield and defense. Whos choice is that? If its peps then fair enough, the blame is on him. But its happened with other managers previously, so its either a coincidence or ..........
 
Txiki is the person we should be looking at.

In the last 3 windows, we've signed Rodri, Ake, Torres and Dias.

In that time we've lost Angelino, Kompany, Silva, Sane, Otamendi, Delph, Bravo, Danilo, Roberts, Mangala, Denayer, Diaz etc. Our squad is considerably weaker than it was. That isn't good enough.

Not sure he was injured, if he was dropped for Garcia and if true that's apaling management.

John Stones misses his second Manchester Citygame of the week after not being deemed fit enough for the matchday squad against Leicester City.

The English defender started alongside Nathan Ake on Monday night against Wolves as Pep Guardiola's side got their season off to an excellent start with a 3-1 win at Molineux.

Reports yesterday were saying it was due to not being fit, I’m sure after starting against wolves and missing Bournemouth game he would have at least been in the squad yesterday if he was fit .

Not if he was angry at being dropped for Garcia.

Whatever John is a liability and has been for a long, long time.

Time for him to have a new start and get his career back

Football at the highest level right now is about high, intense pressure, and then attacking quickly and decisively when you win it, whether that’s from forcing the error high up the pitch, or through counter attacking from deep. It’s about pace, intensity, pressure, dynamism, mobility.

We only have about 3 players in the squad that seem to enjoy the pressing side of the game (Foden, Jesus, KDB) so if fit, these 3 should be the first names on the team sheet, I don’t care what anyone says. When we don’t have all 3, we are relying solely on KDB to produce magic.

Our counter attacking is absolutely woeful, in almost every aspect. The pass selection, the execution,having the intelligent runs. We just seem clueless at it and consistently fuck up 3v2’s, 4v3’s etc.

Too often we get the ball back and it gets slowly passed side to side until eventually getting to the feet of Ederson and we start from there.

Pep needs to understand that possession stats don’t directly win games. We need more than that. If he can’t get that out of the players then he should leave. And before the end of the season if that is the case, since there’d be no point to anything.

He needs to be asked if he has the stomach for the rebuild and to either sign now or leave now.

For a fine exposition of what you are saying (not to mention a tonic), see sick swan :)

Killer football.

especially as Garcia has refused to sign a new contract and wants to go...shouldn't be anywhere near the 1st team squad

Totally agree, when the Barca story first came out, just before the Madrid game, Pep correctly , immediately dropped him from the squad, I could not believe when he brought him back for the Lyon game, terrible management.

Garcia gets unnecessary stick on here, but at the end of the day he wants out, so should not be anywhere near our squad.
