What's the problem(s)?

Maybe the problem is Peps tactics were so damn good that now 80% of all the leagues play this way. The man has revolutionised English football, but having everyone imitate leads to some pretty damn fine imitations being created.
And even the pale imitations can throw some spanners in the City works these days.

Absolutely and why Pep needs to switch it up.

I have no problems with what's happening, right now.
 
Liverpool have 2-3 absences and collapsed in the first half against Villa.

Maybe, just maybe, injuries play a big role for our results. Who would have guessed it? Rocket science that.

We finally get to see what happens to Liverpool when some of their starters are out injured: guess what, they're struggling like everyone else. Number 5 for Aston Villa just went in!

It does start to make you realize the effect of the short pre-season, COVID absences, other injuries, etc. on City, as well as other teams. The 2 week international break is exactly what City need right now, with very few of our international players heading off to play for their countries now.

I wish Everton had their derby against Liverpool soon. Think they would rip their neighbors a new one at the moment.

Next up isn’t it?
 
pre-pep and 100 point 99, 98 point seasons, it was acceptable to draw away from home. Pep changed that so it became only permissible to draw 3-4 and lose 3/4 games a season.

clearly there is something strange going on (too many games so close in COVID affected season, no fans, var making it harder to defend properly) but a reset towards a more usual league with a smaller gap between the top and bottom would be beneficial for all. Much better to watch.

did anyone actually enjoy 18/19 run in except when it was over with (post Leicester win really)? Pressure/need to win every game was hard
 
Looking at the results lately, maybe we’re just in need of a few games. The 5-2 v Leicester included 3 penalties & we had a lot of injuries. Today Liverpool are currently losing 7-2 & they are already out of the league cup. They can’t manage to compete in more than one domestic competition per season - drug testing a problem???

Yeah one starter who has been out for 4 months, and gets injured every season. Maybe find another excuse.
 
Looks like this is happening to most clubs. No pre season, covid and lots of other factors seem to have destroyed any form of defending. Lots of players are out as well
