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 ..........
