Pep has never managed to make a team better than the sum of its parts. Being exposed as we speak.

Oh, I see. Thanks. City's starting 11 looks mostly average.
He really doesn’t fancy Grealish does he and De Bruyne has been a sub for ages it seems.
Surely Nunes shouldn't be starting.
Mental how much the Grealish fee is forgotten about.
Savinho, Grealish and Doku on the bench and you start Nunes on left wing (to attack Trent). What a stupid decision.
They also recruited loads of fast players who work their socks off on the pitch. Combine this with good coaching and you get a very aggressive pressing team.
Dare say I tuned in with the winning goal already scored.
But TAA up to his usual. Corner- 1st man, resulting ball miles overhit.
I swear he's not actually that great at crossing but when you whip 50 in a game a couple are bound to be decent.

If city continue to be terrible, that takes a significant amount of media attention away from Amorim to just quietly do his thing. I like this.
City trying to press with a midfield two of Gundogan and Silva 
Pep would never overthink a big game
City like sitting ducks
City finding their feet a bit.
It's like City have lost all their ability to play football, even on a basic level
Where?
KDB takes about 6months to get fit these days
Gvardiol in woeful form
Grealish has long long spells benched and has become a get it and lay it back 5 yards merchant under Pep.
Ederson I have no idea what that's about.
This. Absolutely this.
combination of them being successful and also just not being scrutinised as much as, say, us.
He's a decent player but it's a ridiculous fee and he's hardly improved them
And the sky...
The feck isn’t that a yellow?
Rodi as well as being a superb passed, tackler, holder and occasional scorer, just seems to give the whole team way more time.
It's amazing how a player can have such a big difference on an all conquering team
I edited it!
Gentle lofted balls for Haaland to attack really aren't going to work against Van Dijk
These idiots will pick up their game when we play them aren’t they???
Liverpool getting away with cynical foul shocker. That was an obvious yellow.
Don't think I've ever seen someone make TAA look like a capable defender like Nunes
They'll keep losing until we Amorim beats them again, finally undoing the curse he placed on them a few months ago.
They used to do that even when they were shit.
A certain game with the likes of Darius Vassell and Benjani comes to mind.
Hahahah the Scouse ‘TWAT!’ Caught on mic towards Walker
Thinking the same right now as I'm looking into their schedule. They'll probably raise their form against Forest and Palace before playing us.
Crazy to me how Pep would rather play Nunes on the left wing instead of either of Grealish/Savinho/Doku. TAA has gotten the better of him every time and that's supposedly one of Liverpool biggest defensive issues.
Conspiracy: City have agreed to throw the league to Liverpool and in return they'll get off lightly on the 115 charges
I'm sure Lewis is a lovely lad, nice family, works hard etc.
But KDB & Rodri down to him has to be one of the all time biggest downgrades in history.
Hasn't even got physicality which at least gave McTom some sway with us.

They know a big punishment is coming and it's almost like they've been told it'll be this season.
So no reason to go mad in the league.
Although not sure why they're losing cup games too.
Stefan Ortega looks like Monica’s boyfriend Pete in Friends
He's tidy on the ball which probably makes him a world class player in Pep's eyes.
City truly dominated here.
I did think they've taken their foot off the gas to keep them out of the spotlight. But in losing so many in a row they've just the spotlight more on them
