Mancheater City: 115

[L3T5 PL4Y]

Should've signed Ings imo.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Arsenal should've gone for Cavani instead of Willian if they wanted to waste high wages on an oldie.

In a perfect world we would’ve sold Lacazette and got Cavani, then beat Leicester 3-1.

Maybe even sold both Laca and Auba, got Cavani instead of Willian and added a creative midfielder along Thomas -> more creativity and imo more goals.

Auba is super clinical, fast and has great instincts, but you got to play him to his strengths which basically just means give him space and channels to run into.

And play him centrally. He would’ve buried those chances yesterday.

Makes sense. But they're in a bad financial position aren't they? Can't buy that many fullbacks.

surprised, thought he had burn out after a few years there

Same. Must've promised him more funds for fullbacks.

Maybe he has lack of options to go somewhere ? PSG looks like only destination in this moment,while Tuchel might leave them soon and they can offer Pep big money to spend on signings.He can put all focus on Champions League,while there is no big competition in Ligue 1.

In Italy,Juve will probably give some time to Pirlo and other clubs aren't that strong financially.Maybe Inter can give try for Pep.

[Yousif Arsenal]

Until 2023.

 

[Jasard]

That's Messi in the PL then I imagine, no?

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I suppose this is a lot better than going to PSG and being guaranteed a league title. One thing is for sure the CL title will remain the goal, also toppling Liverpool domestically obviously

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Messi at fullback?

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

Same. Must've promised him more funds for fullbacks.

He knows apart from maybe PSG he won't get as much money to spend. Barca need a huge rebuilding job. Problem is they're massively in debt so not sure how much they will be able to spend in the next few years. Likes of Juve also seem to be tightening their belt after spending a lot of money on the likes of Ronaldo.

At City no doubt he gets Messi next year plus a sizeable transfer budget while he already has a very strong squad. So it is a case of just keep strengthening.

Bit of Bluemoon meltdown then...

Someone in the Pep-extension thread said Pep might have taken us as far as he can. I’m beginning to think he was right.

Nothing going forward, and 70 minutes in with no subs. The same ****ing guy was moaning about three subs not being enough because of the pandemic.

Has Pep lost his ****ing mind? He is absolutely clueless these days. And his ****ing assistant Lillo has only made us worse

18 months of poor football. Any other manager would be under pressure, yet we offer ours a new two year contract with a £5m pay rise.

This team needs a proper dose of world class blood in summer , 4 or 5 world class talents needed .

cash in on Bernardo and sterling

Pathetic we are no longer a winning team.

Well I’m really chuffed with the result and I’m so proud of how we played! Long may it continue.

****ing ****e.

Anyone saying otherwise is deluded.

We've gone backwards.

Simple as that.

We won’t be making the top 4 unless there are major changes.

We are a genuinely average squad of players. Some good ones, some very average ones.

We will have an average season, we will finish about 6th.

I saw this result coming as soon as they scored. This squad is not good enough!

Pep is very lucky to still be at this club.

hate to say it but pep is the issue so far this season.

worse City team in 10 years this & we are declining not improving on or off the pitch.

We have serious issues & you are deluded if you think different.

Shambles. A total shambles. That'll upset those with their head buried in the Pep love in. But the reality is this is a shambles.
At least he has a smile on his face.

This is far worse than Peps first season.
Could easily miss out on top 4.
Bernando's been getting a free ride for 18 months, adds nothing.

Utter ****

On pep again that.

Totally out thought and out fought by Mourinho.

We sacked Mancini after title winning season for finishing 2nd.

Pep is done as top tier. He knows it and that is why he decided to sign a new contract imo.

Rinse and repeat. ****ing spineless. The worrying thing is there aren't any signs of it inpprvinb or pep changing it. The fact he moans about 5 subs and waits far too long to make 1 change is bonkers. At least we had posession... Zzzzzzzz

Feel like I've been watching the same game for two years. Bored of it and genuinely starting to feel like I won't bother watching.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Bit of Bluemoon meltdown then...

He's been found out.

But it's not over. Just needs a few adjustments. As I said in the EPL match day thread, if City were to get a Haaland, Ibrahimovic, or Giroud type, then they'll be a completely different team to sit back against. City offers no aerial threat and they need exactly that as the key to unlock these kinds of defenses.

Wonder if Pep would be man enough to have an Ibra-type though?

Bit of Bluemoon meltdown then...

Most of those are Glory hunters. How anyone who calls themselves a Man City fan can complain about Guardiola or the state of their team is a big fraud.

10 years ago they were not even also rans. I remember when their stadium regularly use to look like the middle of a library on a saturday night.
