What he says to the media will be completely different to what he says in the dressing room.Unimpressed with his comments tonight that the game was lost because the players got nervous and lacked belief. That's the kind of "not me guv" attitude that splits a dressing room.

Feels very much like Pellegrini's last season, and it started already last season

Time for Big Sam or maybe Steve McLaren?
This is the problem with Pep being the end game and everyone in charge being his mate. Any other manager and the board would have demanded an answer regarding if he was staying or not. They wouldn't allow it to hang over the entire season only for the manager to tell us in 6 months time he's leaving.
They need to sit him down tomorrow and say are you staying or going? Then we can start making plans and even start recruiting players the next manager would be interested in.
This. The board and club needs to know. The reason our ‘project’ has been so on point is because the board has this very apparent long term vision / plan and it’s glaringly obvious how meticulously well run the club is but when needed in the past they have shown they can also be pragmatic. This is the first time since the takeover where I believe the board is letting things run away from them a bit and don’t appear to be in complete control of the next 3, 5, 10 year vision.
Feels like we got everyone / everything we wanted in place, have been very successful albeit with work still to do and suddenly the upwards trajectory has stalled and we are heading back down and the club are like “errr well this wasn’t supposed to happen, we were meant to be winning throughout his tenure” there just doesn’t seem to be this long vision or plan for life after Pep or even for life with Pep if things aren’t so rosey.

Txixi has Alan Pardew on speed dialTime for Big Sam or maybe Steve McLaren?

I'd expect so but I'd still be disappointed as a player that I'm being hung out to dry in public for his mistakes. He should have held his hands up.
Well I wish we would see an Amazon documentary about the dressing room tonight after the game. I hope they were fucking mad and angry instead of being soft and disappointed.
If they are really hungry to win back the PL title, they need to hate losing and this hate needs to make them avoid losing at all cost. we lost enough in PL last season, and todays loss was the worst in Pep era in PL.
At 1-2 down it never looked like turning around and coming back. We need some magical comebacks turn games around to win title.
Thing is we are "bad" losers, when we dont win the title we are not even close. We were chased 3 times for the title until very last round in 2012, 2014 and 2019. All these times we had to win last round game to clinch it.
When we did not win title we did not make it close to the winners at all. 3-4-5-6-7 rounds before the end it was done by Leicester, Chelsea (Conte+Mourinho), Liverpool etc in recent years when we did not win it.
This means when we arent winning it we are not really in the race at all which creates lack of belief which leads more dropped points over the season.
I want City to react like Liverpool reacted to losing the title in 2019 by 1 point only. They came out and fucking won 8 games in a row last season doing 24/24 points in the start and did not drop much more points later on either.

Just not good enough, must be £600 million on players and we're no where near good enough. We knew Vinny was leaving and didn't replace him.
Silva can't be replaced.
Love technical players, but we need some fire to, someone who chases lost causes.
Saw Foden lose the ball then chase it down, but Rodri, Mendy just don't bother.
