You are right, it's more that when his team are up against it there's never a sense of calm or faith that they can turn it around in knockout games. Look at the arsenal game in the FA cup as another example. City dont have the same level of assuridness or belief as liverpool under klopp. Pep's teams revert to panic stations and edginess once plan A fails, or at least that how it looks to me.
No wonder it doesn't work so. A better plan might be when we don't have the ball let's be organised and defend well as a unit instead of hoping the linesman will save us.
Not a good coach defensively, never has a plan B and constantly over thinks big games resulting in bizarre team selections and formations. Those are his faults. He's still a very good coach but not one of the true greats IMO. That high line against Lyon was suicidal. I wonder will he try to spend another £200m on bad full backs, maybe that's the answer.
Watkins, Benrahma and Rashica will all be announced on Wednesday at the same time and the entire VillaTalk domain will be replaced by a Kenneth Williams gif to avoid global internet, and as a result stock market, collapse.
Despite the multi millions olè has spent United still look ordinary. He'll still be hailed as the saviour though. Waited too late to make changes tonight, dean Smith-esque.
"On his day", when is his day? Sané has been outstanding this season, compare Traore to him and then you can see he's miles away from that level. He's just like Pogba shows up in the odd highlisghts reel but when you watch them play for 90 minutes you see their lack of contribution.
but then you went and did it anyway. He's nowhere near Grealish as a player, he shows flashes but that's it. Doesn't contribute for 90 minutes and can't be relied on. He has some attributes but there's still a long way to go.
Jack's best position and where he should be playing for us is in central midfield. He was only shoved out on the wing because the quality of our wingers was so poor.
People need to realise it's better to wait and get good players rather than just panic buying a Scott Hogan. We will still be working on transfers by the time next season starts. We aren't going to start the new season with a fully formed squad.
Rosenior is the best pundit out there but wont ever get the big games because he's not "a name". The masses don't want intelligent analysis, they want Thierry henry feeling up Jamie carragher
I think people are going to be disappointed if they think we'll be signing any £30m pound players. The only way that might happen is if we sell Jack. £30m players expect £100K a week (or higher) salaries.
Watkins is exactly the type of level that we are shopping in.
