Guardiola to be found out in the premier league

[JelavicBrate2]

Personally I think City, similar to RS under Klopp were doping or at least had found some legal way to give players extra stamina in games. It has nothing to do with Pep being found out. Similar to RS out of nowhere their performances improved and they won ridiculous amounts of games in a row. Then their performances would all of a sudden drop and they'd look bang average. RS were doing great then out of nowhere started losing games and Klopp leaves. City are scummy cheats, penalty decision against us last season and Rodris handball they can eff right off.

I've often wondered if everybody has been doing it, apart from proud old Kenwright's Everton of course.

Only joking like, but the thought has crossed my mind.

Main problem is they haven’t found a natural replacement for Kalvin Phillips

I think there they a few behind the scenes issues. From Txiki Begiristain leaving after 12 years, the charges, injuries, and not doing the right recruitment in the summer. I think has finally broken them. Doesn't help when their rivals just doesn't seem like slowing down. My guess they have internally given up on the Prem.

The champions league is the real issue. Losing that 3-0 lead was the worst result even more than all the loses. It was a game that really does end the era for this City team. Can see a few big players getting sold Walker and De Bruyne are certain for me.

The team has gone stale. Ferguson refreshed it every summer and sometimes made big changes.

Pep has never done that with the starting players. He needed to move out 5 29+ aged and bring through replacements.

Also with Rodri injured its like when we lost Parkinson or Gana.

Cant understand why he didnt use Palmer. That is a massive black mark against Pep especially with how theyre doing now.

Players seem to have switched off, you do wonder if they already know that they're getting a massive points reduction and possible expulsion from the Champions League.

I had suspected something like this. I'm totally in the dark as to how the process works though. Is there an actual trial going on behind closed doors with a judge and lawyers from both sides? Or is it just the old 'independent' commission going through the evidence before announcing a verdict?

If it's the first situation I could imagine City's representatives feeding the club the bad news.

If it's the second, I'm hard pressed to see how a leak could only find its way back to City and absolutely nowhere else. I haven't heard any thing in the media.

And, thinking about it, If it was the first situation, how could there be no leaks at all from the players' families or friends?

Yeah, if it had been business as usual, it would be difficult to get over, but as you say, with the team in this form, it just emphasises it.

The big reason for Fergie's longevity at Utd is that the assistant manager's led training and tactics.

When the AMs voice started to not be heard or the dressing room started to be lost, they were replaced.

I've seen bits of the City documentaries. Pep is intense - and I think they've stopped listening to him. And combine that with an aging squad and a couple of key injuries and you have the perfect storm.

@JimmyJeffers has savaged them.

I have always thought that though he is a brilliant goal scorer Haaland has taken too much from the cohesion of the team and makes them a lot more predictable.

I offered up some constructive criticism and they weren’t used to people not purring as they got their head’s patted so they ended up showing their true, entitled little goblin colours and started calling us bitter etc.

No doubt they sing ‘feed the scousers’ songs and such like with gusto.

Definitely one of the forum 'must reads'.

I only know a handful of City fans and they tend to fall into the harmless simpleton category.
