City do usually turn it on after new year. They have the potential to go on long runs. Arsenal was quite far in front last season and blew it. It’s funny seeing city like this though after how cocky they was last season.
'Pep' Guardiola sack watch
- Thread starter Classical Mechanic
- Start date
Because they win? If he was on a 3 year trophyless streak he'd get more scrutiny.
But yes, £129M between the 3. He absolutely should be asked why he put out a team at Villa Park without any midfielders.
The last time Rodri got suspended, he put Phillips in and he looked pitiful against Newcastle, and that was the end of that
which was harsh. Who knows where Phillips would be right now with a run of games in midfield.Philips he doesn't trust its obvious, but Kova and Nunes are just returning from injury. Don't think this was a trust issue.
At the end I feel they'll be fine many people are overreacting.
Basically his "genius" only really shines when he has two of the best three players in the world available (Messi + Xavi, KDB + Haaland) + world class players in all positions.
Remove one or the two best players and things start falling apart.
You can win a lot of trophies if you have top players in all positions. And as substitutes. Who would have thought.
But but but he won the league with Bayern. Three times.

Just me who thinks Rico Lewis is a bit shite?
3 wins in their last 10 domestic games from my count.
I honestly believe it’s just down to a lack of pace that’s being found out. Teams are pushing up and keeping Haaland further away from goal this year and it’s working. He only really scores form cute cut backs etc, his scoring range has narrowed considerably.
Still the best striker in world football though

How the fecking hell are we only 3 points behind them? When’s the cnut getting crucified in the press
Madness to play Stones Akanji Rico Lewis midfield when you’ve Kovacic on the bench. In spite of being a great manager, he makes some truly bizarre decisions every so often.
It is obvious news of the massive points deduction has filtered through.
It is going to be fun.
It is going to be fun.
If we're 3 pts behind them in April, then I'll be happy.
We've seen this before with them, what usually follows is a 15 match winning run Luton up next for a nice starter.

Kane is better
And Arsenal lose to Luton at home, then Sheffield United
This time it's different. All of my City work colleagues say that this season is a write off. They miss Mahrez, Gundo and KDB their 'main' game changers not named Haaland.
Just me who thinks his name and hair is a bit shite?
Dont expect Luton to be a walkover as they are very capable of turning up and giving City a game like they did to Liverpool and Arsenal
Meh!! Pep will get his player's ass whooped in training. And then go to the press conference and say they have lost the title and its over. Then will go on a 16 win streak and win the title.
Schooled by the creepy caretaker from Mr Deeds. Genius manager. Merry Christmas.
He is very good.
11 points behind Arsenal last season, 10 behind the dippers in 18/19 and he won both times, I wouldn't be so excited for this being the end. People were saying the same thing then.
Just been through a run of Chelsea, Pool, Spurs and Villa, and should have won 3 of the 4 with one horrible performance.
Went to Villa without rodri, kdb, doku, Grealish with Stones, Kovacic, Nunes not being 100% despite being in the squad/team.
Still think he should have taken a chance on Phillips mind, Lewis is desperate when a game is physical.
Luton, Palace, Everton and Sheffield United in the next 4, we'll be right in the mix at Xmas given Arsenal and Liverpool play each other.

Agreed. I think City will go on to win still and effectively void another year of English football top flight history.
The feck does this even mean? Pep said they were going to win the league this week, now they think they're on the front line, fighting for their lives? I bet that tweet resonated with 6 City fans that read it.They'll go on a 50 game unbeaten run like they do every season.
Sep 20, 2009
A sneaky sneaky 1-0 win.
Good result for everyone else.
City are fairly toothless in tight games without KDB. Long may it continue.
He's happy, everybody's happy, happy New year!
Time for another spending spree, Wirtz's price just went up another 15m.
That Pep anger is so funny, you know he's pissed but instead he's playing all nice and then comes out with that amazing happy new year line.
Looks like he’s on way too much coke in that presser where he’s wearing the white hoodie
He's lost the dressing room.
I was just listening to a bit of the football show on 5Live. There's a group of idiots with their tongues so far up Pep's arse they're literally licking the shit out of his bowl.
Pity it's not a phone in, I'd love to ring up and remind his disciples that they cheated to get where they are and if they hadn't cheated, Pep wouldn't be anywhere near that place.

Tick...tock...
Wants to be Ten Hag so bad.
He's going to find himself in a Top 4 battle at this rate.
"We will win 4 in a row"
Think he meant matches but that looks quite unlikely.
Sadly, he and City completed football last season.
So, while its nice and all that they are doing not so good this season, would rather have them win the next 5 EPL's if they didn't win UCL.

About a week back the arrogant fraud had said that his team is going to be the first to win 4 league titles in a row. Serves him right 
.
Without superstar players on each positions, he is just an average manager. The real checkbook manager.
