I wasn't really thinking about Sane and Jesus, and I agree, (the other 2 were already here anyway). More thinking about how we didn't prioritise younger attacking full backs, which we all thought last year were required. Nolito, Bravo, Moreno, and Zinchenko though ?I think we had to get the forward line in as they'd have all been elsewhere last summer if not with us, Sane, Jesus, KDB and Sterling would have been snapped up by others and we'd be now saying we needed better forwards instead of better defenders. It's how I see it anyway.

Oh He failed there make no mistake. we had a 2 goal lead for fuck sake.We could expand this thread with the observation that the Germans now have learned that Monaco is a quite good team, so Pep did not exactly fail when City were kicked out of the CL by them.
Wrong, it became a 'thing of beauty' because they nicked it, if they hadn't scored and had lost it would have been what they deserved. You're saying it all in hindsight.
Winning at all costs is for those ****s across the road, I'd rather do it with style and if it comes up short sometimes so be it.
You'd rather basically cheat but as long as we've a trophy at the end you'll be happy, I won't.
Nolito possibly, but before Jesus arrived he was used. Moreno and Zinchenko weren't in the squad and we didnt have room for them. Still think if the Zaba deal had gone through we'd have brought one in.I wasn't really thinking about Sane and Jesus, and I agree, (the other 2 were already here anyway).

Our defenders failed not Pep, a free kick that was silly to give away in first place, leaving 2 players free in the centre for a free header... we were going through before that goal, the way some blues go on about it Monaco were already through before that.Oh He failed there make no mistake. we had a 2 goal lead for fuck sake.
Phrase that differently:
Would you rather finish 3rd getting a team and style in place followed by several years of great success, or finish top one year playing pragmatic football and then do fuck all else?
Not bad for someone who only joined the forum last week, so which former poster are you ?I remember one guy on here saying last year prior to the Leicester game at home when we were very much still in with a shout of the title that he hoped Leicester would win the league seeing as when Pep arrived we'd dominate for years. Hmmmm.
