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.

I think our dressing room is getting a bit too clicky if rumours are true.

"Us and Them" the Us being Pep best mates with 100% loyalty................ Them being the new signings.

Akanji said the senior Players were fucked from too much football. Akanji being self appointed foreman for the Click let it be known how he and the senior Pros didn't want to be a CWC ,rather be on holiday resting. Pep must have known this, after all he blew smoke up Klopp arse regards Klopp own CWC comments. Even though Klopp would have had a different take had it been Liverpool out there promoting the brand.

We had a manager who put down the CWC, we had a senior Player speaking for the click, who it must be said was already lucky to be playing for us given how shit he is.

Pep could have fucked all the whinging players off on Holiday. Gone with the new signings and Youth out in the States.

Instead it was like it played in to his own true feelings. Rather than give the new signing's and youth chance he picks players disinterested already wanting to be on a Sun lounger.

Is it any wonder players Like Gonzalez and Khusanov are having buyers remorse. None of them got minutes whilst the snivelling "Uncs" run through treacle at 50%.They face a season knowing it is going to be virtually impossible to unsurp Pep Mates

I think the Club forced changes on Pep management set up to address "The click" but it is going to be impossible to force him to drop his Mates for the future of City by playing the new signings.

I feel for Khaldoon best Chairman in the World. Those players whinging about having to play in a competition the Cartel Clubs would have give their left Nut to play in. Ungrateful bastards couldn't give a little back promoting the City brand by winning a Trophy that we all know means fuck all to us. But a lot to Khaldoon and our owners.

We took our Eye of the Ball 2 seasons ago. The last Title win the writing was on the Wall. Things are only going to get better with a fresh start with fresh ideas.

That first Wolves game we will all know what kind of season we are in for.

Personally i think Pep will be gone by Christmas, he has nothing left to prove appetite gone, same with his Mates in the dressing room.
