Don’t think you can blame him as such. It’s clearly effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Title race and relegation battle aside the only bad thing about this season is most of the top 6 have been super bad and boring but they still dominate so many of the live games and the wider football discourse.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Can't blame Pep for that. Also for every possession based team, there's now a Newcastle, Villa, Bournemouth who are in your face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the definition of improved He’s taken top quality players and got the best from them at his club e.g. Haaland Is that improving them ?

I'm sick of this insipid, possession for possessions sake style of football so many teams are adopting now. Its all very regimented with little room for flair or individuality. Nobody has their own identity now. That said, I'm probably just being an old man shouting at the clouds. They're micromanaged to an inch of their lives, so robotic and it's symptomatic of a lot of games that we're watching nowadays. Gary Neville. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Mover Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 So many insipid boring games where the best option is to fall asleep during the match or at least do something else at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still far prefer the possession style far above the long ball shit we were forced to endure before he came to English football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt it contributes to sanitising games a fair bit. I hate it me. Could forgive it if they got everything spot on but they don’t, and therefore I don’t see a point. If we are going to utilise technology, bring in semi automated offsides only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Grid Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Neville was right. That shit was pathetic. There has to be a point where it stops working that way...enter Mr Eddie Howe...anyone who thinks we should get rid of him, despite winning a cup, even if we lose on Monday needs their head checked and spread the cheeks with no lube ...IMHO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I'm not sure that Pep's heart is really still in it. I wouldn't be surprised if he left at the end of the season. I also wonder whether Phil Foden would be better off elsewhere. He was one of the best players of his age group in the world, and perhaps the best, but his game doesn't seem to have developed in the way that it ought, over the last 2 years. City's style is quite regimented, and I think he needs more freedom. The post-match discussion was spoilt by Roy Keane and his usual rants about making more effort. Izzy and Micah were doing their best to raise the tone, but they were fighting a losing battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Pep went to OT to draw. He started all the controllers and no wingers. He doesn’t have faith in this team. He doesn’t think us/Chelsea/Villa will keep going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Thought Neville was spot on with his comments. It’s the first time in a while when I watched a match and it was actually a bit jarring how tentative the whole thing was, especially for a derby. All very strange. I guess this is a natural consequence of a broader shift from expressive individualistic players to a team unit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
