High line is no problem though. Spurs and Pool both use it just fine, in combination with a press that is typical of Pep teams.

The difference is City players are still trying to learn the press and the defenders are quite frankly shit. It's on him that he didn't manage more quality defenders in the summer. That being said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a high line in the EPL Laughing

Patience is a virtue. If I may channel my inner Robes, I remind that Poch when he first came in finished fifth with a quality squad at his disposal, and a defense that wasn't that good. Often times, he was saved by a Kane that came out of nowhere and about 7 different last minute goals from Eriksen. The press didn't look good, Spurs were playing the likes of Fazio or Kaboul in defense, but you could see the groundwork being laid.

Fast forward to now and you have this Spurs team, the best defensive team the last two years, and a quality team.

It's just a game, stopped feeling embarrassed and trust the process, like Embiid.

I mean, City lost to Everton 4-0. A team who has lofty aspirations like winning the title and UCL lost 4-0 to Everton. Pep really has to change...something in this team. Purify himself in the water of Lake Minnetonka. I don't know.

Also, City, an EPL winning team needing to use Spurs, a nothing winning team as inspiration, Pep should just shoot himself now.

Its sad to watch Man C now though, from the highlights it looked awful. Pep trying to do a Lahm again but Zabaleta just isnt suitable to play that position loool, pretty much no midfield vs Everton's strong midfield, pure suicide and im starting to agree with many, and I always thought even at his Barca days, he just plays one way, and no plan B.

Dont know if he'll try and adjust, but if he doesnt and performances and results continue to be like this.... who knows...

Structural issues + individual mistakes seem to be costing City. Luckily both can be fixed.

He should have really bought new fullbacks though.

Honestly, jokes and banter aside, I'm perplexed as to why he's immune to the sack. I'm baffled.
Not for the results, but for his whole approach to the season. Him saying I'd rather get sacked than adjusting my playstyle (knowing full well that for some mysterious reason he won't get sacked, of course), him blaming referees for punishing the thugness he has instilled in City, him saying I'm tired of this shit I'll retire soon. Like, what kind of impact does he think he'll have on his players by saying that? Completely delusional. He thinks he's bigger than the club, he's basically toying with City and gives no shits about how he's doing with them or in what state he'll leave them when he's gone. How can City be so blind?

And btw, the results are indeed *bleep* atrocious. One step forward, 2 step back every time. Getting stomped by any decent team every time.
And please refrain from saying that he needs time. Pretty much every manager that coached in his timespan is outperforming him. Or saying that City is like Spurs when Pochettino took them :facepalm:
City's defensive individuals are not that bad. The main reason they look so bad and everything is falling apart in the defence department is because of Pep himself. Pool has easily worse individuals, we have David *bleep* Luiz and 2 players off-role Laughing. And midfield-wise and attack-wise they have the best personnel of the PL by far.

I'm still confident Pep can come good with this man city team, but with top 4 still far from locked down, it is looking a little wobbly for him atm

Not winning is okay. But what improvements is City making? With Mourinho you can see Manchester United have become very stable the more time has passed. They are unbeaten in over 20 matches in the league and if you only consider the 2nd half of the season this is how the table would look like:

1. Tottenham, 32 points, 31:8 goal difference
2. Everton, 31 points, 35:14 goal difference
3. Man United, 27 points, 21:5 goal difference
4. Chelsea, 26 points, 23:14 goal difference
5. City, 25 points, 24:14 goal difference

If you compare with the first half of the season, Man United jumped from 6th to 3th and went from conceding 19 goals in 19 games to conceding 5 goals in 13 games. They've improved dramatically.

Mourinho also competes in the EL and has won 2 minor Cups and is still competing in the EL.

Whereas City have stayed exactly the same and improved nothing if you compare the first half and second half of the season. Not defensively, not offensively, not point-wise. And Pep still doesn't win against top teams. It's become ridiculous now over the last few years.

His record against the top 7 in England (league alone):

1:3 and 1:2 vs. Chelsea
2:2 and 0:2 vs. Tottenham
1:1 and 0:1 vs. Liverpool
2:1 vs. Man United
1:1 and 0:4 vs. Everton
2:1 and 2:2 against Arsenal.

Laughing

Then he's given up a 2 goal lead against Monaco and lost to Arsenal in the FA Cup.

This is Wenger level stuff.

And what does it say about you that you went from praising Pep to moronically and repetitively badmouthing him because it has become so hugely fashionable to do so on here?

It can't be for a different reason than just following the majority like a sheep, can it? Seeing you don't actually watch the football?

The problem when trying to rate managers is it's a lose lose situation

Somebody like Pep gets handed an insane squad, wins trophies. People doubt him (Rightly or wrongly) because the team could essentially manage its self

But then you manage lesser clubs, and obviously get worse results. And then you're a fraud.

Similarly, you start out overachieving at a smaller club, and flop at a big one you've been found out

Imo (The only opinion that matters in this World) basically all managers are frauds/shit/unnecessary apart from Allegri, Simeone and Craig Shakespeare.
