He should be on the sack watch. They bring him to win CL. Even Mancini and Pellegrini won PL with even weaker sides. And Manuel reached semis. Carlo finished 1st and 2nd in two seasons with us but did not deliver in CL and was sacked. Pep has too much credit. I hate when people say how he is the best ever manager lol Him going out in CL is one of my highlights in every season.

Plus there is this karma or whatever for clubs... Before we won CL we come close many times. Monaco semi final, Liverpool ghost goal, Pool again on penalties loss, semis against Barca when Ovrebo stole the game from us, Terry penalty in Moscow... We were so close but failed many times. We had to suffer for so long. And I think the same will happen with City and PSG for some reason. PSG will play semis for the first time now and City been there only once. Before they win it they will have hard defeats on penalties, when they where the better side... So I do not think they are even close to winning it. There is some special force about this things

Pep is a fraud. 4 years in a row with City he got knocked out by weaker side. Monaco, Liverpool (17-18 season, that Pool side fought for top4), Spurs and Lyon. In Bayern also failed to deliver. And Bayern won CL just before he got there and will most likely after him. And he spent more than everyone else. Even two CL titles with Barca have been won we know how. Ovrebo 2009 and in 2011 that Arsenal game at Camp Nou was also Barca-UEFA special. He never overachieved in his career. Always did expected or failed miserably like today. Fraud!

City did not won against Lyon last season either in both games.

And people said it will be a problem for German and French teams because they were on the long break.

7 saves by Lopes. Sign him.

Just a reminder. This Lyon side finished 7th in Ligue1.

1:3

Sterling hahahahahaha Never rated him.

City would not have a chance against them. Froudiola always chocked it 😂

You support this plastic oil team against cool team like Lyon?

Get in!!!!!

Would be cool to have two German and two French sides in the semis.

Lyon made 4 or 5 unnecessary fouls around the box. Very stupid thing to do against KDB.

Lopes is great GK.

What a pass by De Bruyne that was 😱

Pep always overthink in this stage. And now? Cancelo LB? KDB winger. Instead of two attacking midfielders he goes with 3 more defensively types. Dembele on the bench for Lyon.

Can he do this?

Messi was never a leader.

Players from clubs without Europe and FA cup final had 3 weeks off and are back in training on Monday. So they will have 4 weeks pre season. Our boys are only one week off now so assuming they will have 2 more weeks vacation not sure how much we will be prepared for the first couple of games? If we face Spurs, Pool, Leicester in the 1st round or 2nd they will be in much better shape.

Who should take Willian’s No.10 shirt at Chelsea? https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2020/8/15/21369745/who-should-take-willians-no-10-shirt-at-chelsea

He does best when he is underdog. He won CL with Porto and Inter but failed with us and Madrid. First season was always to write it off. Spurs can be very dangerous with him. His priority is to fix defense. He is capable we all know of making a team to concede less than 30 goals in the league. They have worst full backs pairing in the league. Rose and Aurier. Not sure about their budget but if I am Jose I would go for Tagliafico. One of the best full backs defensively plus cheap. Not sure for RB? They need some strong and tall dude. Surely he can find someone? And if he pull that Skriniar-Ndombele swap that is it. Son and Kane will always get you goals. Many options in midfield area as well. And they need CF backup.

At one point they had Pope, Heaton and Hart so no.
