Fuck me, hope this are mind games, if not, we are really fucked.
Ultimately it’ll lead to his demise then if he’s too arrogant to think we need to freshen things up.
Also said about.a Rodri replacement, “When I have Kova and Gundo I don’t need a replacement in that position.”
Capello calling Pep arrogant is a bit rich but for Pep to think all in the garden will be rosy once he gets his current squad fit is typical of his attitude. His choice of playing, his choice of squad, fuck everyone else i'm right. The man does not bend or adapt to change and that is a major weakness. Ever increasing bumbers of teams have found a way to stifle our play and cause us problems and we have learnt nothing. This demise is our performance has been coming for months. A couple of injuries have made vents dramatic
I will always be grateful to Pep for the success he has brought to the club, but i am also grateful to Mancini and Pellegrini. Pep reinforced possession football, if we have the ball the opposition can't score right, but its like watching 80 mins of keepy uppy and 10 mins of action. Its like watching paint dry. I much prefer a faster game and a quicker transition from defence to attack. I'd also forego possession to increase the number of attempts we have on goal.
Haaland gets a high number of goals but he'd get a shed load more if we played to his true strengths. Standing in the box with his thumb up his arse waiting for a cross or a clever short ball is not the answer. Just think what we could have had this season if we had quicker tempo and Haaland was teamed up with Alvarez or Palmer? Maybe i long for the football of my youth who knows. Pep gets paid big bucks to get results. He ain't getting results he needs to change or be changed
