What are we expecting from Pep's first season?

[Kompany is King]

Players working as a team.

Variety & organisation on corners, free kicks and not forgetting prompt substitutions when players need replacing eg players ready to come on at short notice.

100% effort & high tempo from start to finish.

Entertainment.

It just shows how low things have got mate when we are on bended knee asking for basic things like 100% effort ,variety in free kicks and corners and game changing substitutions .

This isn't fucking Bury or Tranmere Rovers this is a club with aspirations to win the Champions League, what this idiot does in training or the dressing room to get a tune out of the players baffles me-and why our DoF hasn't apparently give him a bollocking also baffles me.

What the fuck is going on at this Pep obsessed club ? It's like he IS the fucking club and he's not here yet.

A shambles this season-no more no less.

After chasing him for 3 long years and putting the future of the club on hold whilst doing so, with all the hype, and the expectations placed on "lesser" managers like Bobby and Manuel I would absolutely expect to win a minimum of 2 of the 4 main competitions we enter. As a minimum this should be the least we expect as no doubt there will be yet more major investment in the playing squad.

3 of the 4 should not be seen as being too demanding.

Anything less than 2 should be seen as poor. Manuel won a double in his first season and was deemed "senile", and "a fucking corpse" amongst other things.

Over to you pep, we're waiting..

You forgot to mention the shambles Pep is about to inherit possibly without a champions league place.

If we continue the way we are it will be without a CL spot. West Ham will overtake us on current form.

Like I said at the start of this topic, I will be happy if the team starts to do the basics again, that is, defend well, press as a team and attack incisively as a unit, basically go back to being an organised and mostly entertaining team that we once were, before this rotting corpse took over.

Which is why my expectations of just a top 4 place will be more than enough for me, anything more is a bonus.

So the rotting corpse is a failure for only winning a league cup, but The Precious One, The Best Manager In The World. Ever. Is doing a good job if he takes this squad, lavishes millions on it , and gets top 4?

He has to win a minimum of 2 trophies to be on par.

I posted in the 'bold prediction thread' that I hoped/expected us to do the double over the 3 relegated teams - we have fallen woefully short of that(again) so that could/should be 18points in the bag for Guardiola

Your precious one was lucky he inherited a good squad. What Pellers has left us with is absolutely shocking. If we finish out of the top four I think Pellers will have written his own legacy. I hope Pep wins the lot and shoves it down a lot of people's throats.

My expectations are only for the first year, considering the mess he will be inheriting, not for his entire 3 year tenure here.

I haven't even thought of my expectations beyond the first year to be honest.
