Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

Which of the following do you consider to be an error of judgement by City/Pep

Decision making regarding the squad

Postby Spurge » Sat Dec 17, 2016 10:02 am

So it's a rollercoaster so far this season with lots of changes made, 10 straight victories in all competitions may have set our hopes higher than might have been the reality and maybe we shouldn't be surprised with some of more recent performances - it's all about decision making where getting it right is concerned of course.

These are just some of the key decisions faced by the club and Pep so far this season. How do you think we did?

His three biggest mistakes so far.
1) Bringing Bravo for Joe. Who knows he may come good, but it looks unfathomable so far.
2) Getting rid of the wrong centre half. Otter is soft as shit and not very good. The Mangler is pretty bad with the ball, but he could at least stop some ne shit. And boy we could use a stopper right now
3) Marginalising Yaya. He is still a great creative player and there have been times when we've needed him. There is NEVER a good enough reason to choose Fernando over Yaya.

It's also frustrating to see Nacho not playing whilst Serg is out. Really strange nonsense.

None. Simply because it's too early to tell.

Regarding Ilkay, it was worth a gamble. We'll see how he goes next season.

We won 10 out of 10 games on the trot without him.

Kind of fucks up your point doesn't it.

We need to just have some faith and patience. We have one of the best managers in the world and the resources to get this right. Let's just calm the fuck down

If I had my way if keep them all, stick them into the Academy system, and just get new and younger models.

And barely won since. Kind of makes my point.
Then again, if the season was just ten games long, you'd be right.
