I think that many fans have started to get a bit too comfortable about the future under Pep.
He's the best abd doesn't make many mistakes, but he's not infallible.
It's grown clear over the past two or three seasons that we've struggled to replace ageing players, and become increasingly reluctant to play academy players. The fact that Pep seems to be largely unconcerned and says, publicly, that he's happy with the squad, is a bit disconcerting. I can only imagine that he is 'under orders' to demonstrate that the club is making use of the academy, but only does so by leaving them on the bench.
In my view, he's growing increasingly desperate to win the CL, which is his obvious priority. He failed to do so at Bayern, and I suspect that his continuing failure to deliver the CL with City is affecting him more than anyone can imagine.
It's an obsession that concerns me. In my view, he overplays players who he considers to be essential to his cause, and looks no further than the next match.
Given the almost paper thin squad, and largely unconvincing use of the academy, I honestly think he and Txiki may have lost sight of the long term at City this season
My concern is that Pep will soon reach a point where he can't or won't want to go on, and the club will be nowhere near ready for the future.
As I've said before; anyone who thinks that Haaland is the only piece of the jigsaw missing is kidding themselves. We are five or six players short of a decent squad for next season. The academy lads aren't good enough yet, and we're burning players out by match week 30 of the season.
There's a big cliff on the horizon. If we're not careful, we could fall off it when Pep leaves.
