Nice collage - to be fair my observations of that game and our performance to that point are spot on.
Fair play to you, you called it...........

Pep has redefined the way football is now played in the EPL, the PL is one of the most difficult leagues in the world, we are up against difficult opposition week in week out, each and everyone of those teams has studied the way Pep plays the game, it took time for them all to find a way to play against us, and they did, and our results showed this. Pep has now changed the way we play again, by making fine adjustments, and again we are back on top, all the top clubs will be back to the drawing board, trying to work out how to stop us, and when they do Pep will work his magic, and make fine adjustments to keep us at the top. He is the most technically gifted manager in the world, we are very lucky to have such a gifted manager, who also knows how to build and run a squad of players.

We have a young team which will only get better. If we get either Haarland or Mbappe we will continue to win multiple trophies. Perhaps we can persuade Pep to stay longer than 2023 but that is probably wishful thinking.All those history clubs be counting down the seconds minutes hours days months years till he leaves because they know there teams will have to be near on perfect next few years to win leagues and trophies.

Posted this after the Tottenham game...
Not quite there yet but it's inevitable.
This lot can kiss my face!
You can come back and bask in your luck in a few games time hopefully.

Here's a thought. I know there will still be some amongst us, who hanker for the old kick and rush fayre of old, but when Pep does go, will we have been spoilt?

Can't believe our dreadful ownership, hope we get sold to some Yanks that own a baseball team

I can't believe the transformation in Rodri. It's like he grew a pair of eyes. I can't remember his making any forward passes earlier in the season. Now his vision is exceptional.
100%, he also seems to win the ball back a lot more too. He looks solid defensively and seems to have gained a yard of pace. I thought for a few years Ferna was the best DM in the world, and I really didn't think Rodri was going to reach his high standards, but he's getting there now.

It's a funny old game, isn't it? A few weeks ago we were debating whether it was right to allow pep to oversee a possible team rebuild and whether his hear is in it.
Turns out some people are always 100% or nothing and we already had enough quality and personality to take back the league. Things we probably knew already but got our knickers in a twist over. Thankfully nobody actually at the club panicked :)
Something's changed though with pep too, to be fair. He's now taking about a longer career, no more early retirement. Something's got him focused on the long term and I can only hope that again it's with us for a bit longer. Not just the tactics or the style, but the standards we hold to each and every opponent, the accountability and willingness to help each other, speak to a true team environment and club ethos that is lived daily.
Only worry now for me is, as pep says, how we react when we do lose, and how we keep the whole team happy and together - realistically that will mean someone always misses out,be it walker, stones, gundogan, de Bruyne, jesus, bernardo.... But the way they accept it now, knowing they will be needed and still have a job to do for he team even on the bench, is again a huge credit to them and the whole staff.
Also I can see pep deciding his next challenge is to see if he can actually do it with inferior players so decides he has to go to the lower divisions to show it. And he'd probably succeed. And Lee Dixon would still find a way to belittle his achievements, because he didn't do it blindfolded riding a moped backwards whilst juggling flaming knives.
