Simply put , Pep needs to adapt — otherwise, he’s heading down the same fucking road as Mourinho. And people (you ) seriously need to stop defending the undefendable.
We saw enough in this tournament to be genuinely worried about how he’s going to manage us this season. It’s the same patterns, same overcomplications, same stale football — nothing looks different.

And that’s the problem: I want to see something fucking different*. He’s spent £400 million — we should be demanding progress, not settling for the same turgid, lifeless stuff we had to endure last season.

I said before and I’ll say again - first 5 games he’s got for me.

Simply put - his stats aren't worse season on season.
Let's see if he starts badly shall we or will it be like after his 1st season when we romped it.

Simply put, unless anyone on here knows the alternatives to trying to breakdown teams that put 11 men in the box. Should stop moaning.

Teams are well aware that City are strong in all areas of the pitch.Which is why they are happy to defend and hope they get the occasional break away.
It is very rare that teams attack from the off, i can only think of Bournemouth away that really took the game to City from the off.

Any style of play against 11 men in the box will a struggle.

Wish Pep wasn't allergic to defending, it's part of the game if you must know. He should focus on that side of the game more than sideway passing.

Besides we're not here to solve these issues, he's getting paid 25m and rightly should get criticised like any other manager if he falls short.

The wheels came of when ironically Partey pushed Rodri.
I sit with the sane lads our back 4 of Demics have lost the babysitter has been my mates theory. He’s right our reliance on Rodders exposed players and Pep. My take is we need a massive improvement to compete with PSG but so does everyone.
