Would it really be an exposure if City narrowly miss out on the title to Liverpool tho? I mean they've got 198 points in two season, first manager to retain the title in a decade, will probably get over 90 points again this season regardless of who wins the league. If anything it shows he's a victim of the standards he's setting if failing to win the league means he's been exposed. He's also won 5 out of 6 domestic trophies in the last 2 years.
In his first year it was "look Pep can't win the PL his way what a fraud". Then he won it with 100 points, then he retained it with 98 points as part of a domestic treble. Exposed? I'm not sure, winning 3 in a row was always gonna be a tall ask. It's such a rarity that it happens. Mourinho never managed it, Wenger didn't even get 2 in a row. Benitez couldn't win 1 with Liverpool. Neither of the two previous City managers did with while City were still spending millions. Heck the great Liverpool teams of the 70's and 80's only managed to do it once for all their dominance.
Agree with what he has done at City, in line with high expectations and the CL being a knockout competition. I kind of just want to see him exhausted at City and move to another club to see if Bayern was a blip or not.
