Duly obliged Beefy

We all question Pep and his in game tactics, rightly so in some cases. But after winning 21 games on a trot, it does beg the question - at what point do we sit back and trust in Pep?

Whether we like it or not, he needs to deliver the chimps league, too many fek ups in the past.
Still wouldn't swap him with anyone

I edited that for accuracy.

No need to thank me

So are 'some' fans saying we should never question PG because we are on a 21 winning run ? PMSL.....fuck off !!!
He gets it right , more often than not, in the premier league, and gets it wrong , more often than not , in the CL due to his brain farts.

Pellegrini went on a 20 match unbeaten run (With a much inferior squad) and in those 3 years that he was here City won the Premier League once and Capital One Cup twice whilst also reaching the semifinals of the Champions League for the first time in our history and we scored 102 goals in his first season...Pellegrini broke records as well and yet we all questioned him on tactics and first 11 choices all the time and gave him a hard time over some of his decisions ...its part and parcel of being a fucking fan to question everything..no matter who the manager is FFS!!.

I wouldn't change Baldie for anyone , even if I don't like him , but hardly anyone trusts him in the CL competition as he fucks it up all the time with his brain fart decisions.

The league 100% hes trusted

Had begun to write something similar to this. In the main, rest players as needs be with the schedule in the league. In the holy grail that is chumps league, play the strongest team that has gotten us to this point, keep it simple and if that is not good enough, so be it
We are lucky to have him, but he is also lucky to have us

PS, for sunday see play the strongest team, there can be no forgiveness for not smashing these cnuts

It is fairly excruciating to see all the swearing and cursing when the team is announced. Some don't have a clue about rest and rotation and think some players - probably about 15 - should play every game, despite the dodgy maths.

Man of the match Mahrez - who clearly gets better the more he plays - is usually a particular target.

BUT - when we were pretty ropey, lets say when Hughes was in charge, we had absolutely loads to debate and there was loads of ferocious chat on here. Lets face it now we haven't actually got too much to talk about - we've been spoiled. So you have to realise this is all part of the banter, the pre-match excitement, the passion for the team. And it's great when the same people then give massive credit to players they earlier slagged off and to the team for yet another victory.

Pep does some odd things and there's no reason they shouldn't be questioned. We also have a selection of players who alternate between really shit and brilliance - eg Razza, Jesus, Mahrez.

Tis all part of the game

Trust him domestically no problem he is beyond proven.
BUT, he still has to a lot to prove in the Champions league.
And I really hope he will do it, if not it will always be there.

Let’s factor in it’s a competition run by a body that has no desire to see us win it. I have traveled all over Europe with City, seem
It for what it is. Imho a trip to see the blues In some top locations. Can we win it yes but it’s a 50/50 game if we meet Bayern or PSG Let’s not get it twisted we have to be perfect in every game you play in this comp. Pellers had a hell of a chance v Madrid and Pep blew it v Spurs, the players and Pep v Lyon, but we’re we good enough to win it last season to beat the Germans who jog through a season.

Get the fucking pubs open ffs .

I'm little confused here, is it they or Pep fek ups? Yes they are corrupt, you could point out vermin decisions, but I can't really blame them for Peps master stroke fek up against spuds and Lyon. That was down to formations and selections, over complicating it. There is no reason why we can't get to final, no fancy formations, no weird selections, just little tweaks here and there and we stand a good chance.

Pep is the best out there, no doubt about it. We can't get better.

But his indecision to sign a new contract, to continue here, played a huge huge parte in our shit form last season. Since he announced he will continue back in what, october? We dropped 7 points in all competitions. 7 points. Mental.

We like or not, but Lillo is playing a huge part in this also because I have a feeling, in contrast with Arteta, is talking to him when Pep is doing something wrong and they try to sort it.

PSG would’ be 50/50. They want it and have the forward players to win a one off. Bayern know what is required . I do think we win it this season we could win it back to back, like the win at Klanfield it is a huge step for us.

Regarding the Pellers comparison - in Pellers 1st year when we won the league we scored 102 goals and got 86 points.
Last season in Pep's shit season we got 81 points, scored 102 goals and funnily enough with this horrendous defence that we called all season actually conceded less goals than in 13/14.

In Pellers last season we got 60 odd points and scraped the Champs League because the rags lost at West Ham.
The Champions League Semi that he got us to was an embarrassment home and away against Madrid. i spent a fortune going there and even though a 1-1 draw would have taken us through we didn't have a shot until the last few minutes.

Pep- 1st ever to get the 100 points.
1st ever to win the domestic treble.
Who knows what we'll finally achieve this year but i guarantee IF we do win the CL it won't stop him being slaughtered by some on here.

Pep's fucking awesome. The feller's usually right even when it seems he is wrong. #PepLickerMassif

He’s certainly doing it in some style this season with limited striking options to boot.

My main gripe with him is he takes too long to change it. Against West Ham it was obvious things needed changing and we needed some players with an engine. He took too long making a change but luckily we got away with it.

Apart from that I love the guy, now that he’s one of us and hates the media and UEFA.

But if you look at xG created we are usually on top. Meaning we create more chances than we concede. Meaning his tactics are correct. Obviously you don't end up winning every single game even with right tactics. Funny old game.

We are usually on top. But some matches where we’ve got 70%+ possession but very few shots he needs to change it sooner imo. He’ll admit he’s stubborn and wants it to work his original way. He’s become less stubborn over the last few years though.

Was just talking about you not long ago - I told everyone you had taken a job in the outer Hebrides in some light house and you had no internet .

Funnily enough only few weeks back was browsing out of curiosity what the houses cost in the Outer Hebrides. Not kidding. Fucking kids prevent me from moving to my dream destination. Bet there are no cunts with fucking COVID there.
