Why we will win the league!

[Chippy_boy]

They’ve had the same number of yellows as we have (35). Fewest in the league, same as West Ham. United have had 58, Leeds 90!

Not sure what that proves?

Lampard didn’t work under Pep, nor Vieira.

Thanks mate.
Viera was part of the CFG. Before he went to the US was he working under Pellegrini?

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

He's known what the problems are for years now.
He hasn't decided to do anything to address them so don't start expecting him to now.
Rightly or wrongly he'll live and die on his beliefs.

What are the problems? That we are serial trophy winners?

No striker.
Need to create 10 chances to score 1
Vulnerability to the ball over the top.
Neither left back can defend.
Rodris lack of pace, to be fair theres a lack of it throughout the team.
Substitutions or lack of.
Yes I know the argument of
We're top of the league and deep in 2 other competitions.
We're about to find out if the problems above are in fact real or If I'm looking for problems where there isnt really any.

Complete and utter nonsense.

If City are on top of their game and play as well as we have seen then we have nothing to fear. The 4th title in 5 years(that sounds so brilliant as a long time blue) is absolutely do-able....one game at a time.

Ok! Sorry Pep.

O course, all these points occur from time to time but why not just enjoy the ride? If we don't win a trophy this season then sure, we can debate why but don't you relish the excitement where every single game is do or die and can be an emotional roller-coaster? When we play well we are an incredible team. You remind me of a mate of mine who is a rag and always having a go at Fergusn slagging him off as they won trophy after trophy. I thought he was mad.........or just on a sophisticated wind up!

Not exactly Pep's fault.
We have an XG of 2.12 and are averaging 2.3 goals per game.
We have, by far, the best goals against and XG against. But every team's tactics will, by definition, create vulnerabilities - there is no way of pressing high without also losing some space behind you.
That's not their role anymore.
He's picked for his positional play and passing, our game isn't based on pace it's based on control.
If the plan is working he trusts his players.
