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

Progress in CL .....

its only our tenth season in the CL and the last to season we have become regular the last 8 in europe. Took pisscan 13 years to win it with a squad that was the best in the PL and regularly broke the British transfer record. So going by this Pep has another 8 seasons yet !

PSG have been in the CL 8 seasons in a row (less than us) and made the final. They also were taken over 3 years later.

RB Leipzig has as many CL semi finals as City, they were founded in 2009 and worked their way up from scratch.

City have been poor in Europe, no matter how anyone tries to spin it.

Or gives an indication of how much luck is involved in cup competitions

I am certainly not thinking Pep should go but how you think it was VAR that caused us to lose to Lyon and not Peps choice of players is ridiculous.

1-1 it had to get that right but it didnt,as i keep saying however shit we are playing the officials have to make the right decisions,when walton is on our side it is a big deal

Why is it ridiculous to expect VAR to do its job correctly ? Goal disallowed its stays 1-1 City could have gone on to win. Of course we dont know that but 3 seasons on the trot VAR has screwed City.
Pep could have picked the team you wanted and that goal would still have stood making it 2-1 ! We could still have lost thanks to VAR

All that really counts is pep got it drastically wrong against Lyon and VAR continues to fuck us over year after year. I have a feel VAR won’t change, I just hope pep does.

Of course VAR is meant to its work properly.
Sterling should have scored Ederson should have done better for the last goal
All above were contributing factors but Pep over complicating his team selection set the trend.

I Think some of us have a great fear of Pep leaving ,thats natural because he has been terrific, arguably the best manager weve had However last season we have gone stale yes we had some memorable performances but all in all not near the superb standard of the last few seasons To not consider how the absence of Captain fantastic negated us would be foolish What he gave us on and off the pitch was seen on the prime tv. programme However next season will be defining we simply dont know what kind of Man City we will get IMHO That is why there has been no rush on either side to extend his contract .Lets be honest his recent forays in the market have been at best mixed, with his first two signings being steady if not spectacular we await furher ins and outs The lyon match hurt us and maybe more importantly our owners ,who after throwing money at it have still been denied success in the competition they crave Finally the real question lies with the players asked to play in a formation that clearly didnt sit well are they still fully behind the gaffer? Revved up and ready to get OUR title back

I don't think we're particularly bad at defending set pieces, but you're maybe right that we could be better attacking them. I think we're alright with freekicks, but our corners are not anything praiseworthy.

This was Domènec Torrent’s speciality as Pep’s assistant, we havent been as good on set pieces in either penalty area since he left
