We are winning fuck all this year. It will be a miracle if we do.
We are a right fucking mess. The Football has become dire, like really dire, boring slow insipid shit every game, no exceptions. Even wins have become difficult to watch. The players resemble over coached Robots. Any individuality and spontaneity coached out of them, to play a system that never works against decent sides. It is terrible. You take Halland Donnarumma out of our side you are looking at a team that would not even make top 6.We all know it.
There were times during Sunday game at Villa i was not even sure what Pep game plan was to begin with. It was like watching Under 8s. Literally no midfield against an average side who play on the counter for over an Hour. It was insane, he has set us up like this before, notably against the Rags in a Derby at the Swamp, when we should have been 4-0 down at half time. It defies belief a Manager on £10,000 000 a Season can only come up with a game plan that actually plays to opponents strengths.
Our fitness has become another major issue for me. I think we spend that much time in training doing only slow walking football passing drills it has been neglected. Any side with a bit of intensity we fold like a Deck Chair, we can not compete, we are physically unable to do so.
We let Pep Head the major rebuild before he walks off in to the distance to go Golfing. Look at the State of all the signings he has made, not cheap either. And still even now no recognised Right Back, still he fucks about with the defence moving players left and Right. I have a theory he deliberately doesn't sign any recognised Left/Right Back so he can feed his desire to fuck about rotating players in to those positions. When we win it is his genius. Pep refusing £70,000 000 from Spurs for Savinho,( let that sink in). Literally 99% of City fans can see the Guy is shit. Now Pep plays him out of spite to try and prove he knows better than everyone else. He literally produces nothing. Echeveri should be here and Savinho at Pep Brother Club, Pep brother doesn't want Duds obviously.
We have the Rodri issue still going on. Sadly he will likely never recover enough to return to what he was because of that type of injury. Not like it didn't fuck last season up for us. Yet still a Season later all we have is Gonzalez. How the fuck does a top Tier Manager allow this to even happen ?
I have mentioned before that People connected to the Club have said it has all become very un professional after once being envied globally, Jobs for the Guys sort of set up. We even managed to bring in a worse set piece Coach than the last( that took some fucking doing).
Talk of us giving Pep a shit load of the Etihad Sponsorship in January, after giving him a shit load in the last 2,3, transfer Windows that have all turned in to "Ones for the future" the terminology used to define bad signings. That would be the worst mistake we could make at this stage. It could put us in the wilderness for 10 years.
Our problem now is a Manager and system whose best days have come and gone. Throwing more money at the problem will not solve the bigger issues we have going on at the Club. And to be honest Pep is incompetent in the transfer Market. We can not trust him with our future anymore. We are going to need a "Fire Sale" when he goes.
All good things come to an end, we will all be forever grateful for the success Pep delivered. Now is the time though to say thanks for the memories Pep. We need to move in a different direction for the good of the Club. The Decline actually started in our last Title winning season. We saw that standards had begun to drop that Season, the recruitment had become bad. The system was being countered much more effectively by the top teams. Last Season it got much worse. I think we need to prepare our selves for the first Season in over 10 years where i think the Rags might actually finish higher than us in the League. That will come as a bit of a shock to some. It is where we are likely to be at after.3 Seasons of dropping standards. No room for sentimentality living on past Glory in Football.
We can not go another season of this shit insipid football, we need major changes.
Starting with the Manager.
