The UCL MVP while at Inter...Unrelated but Onana has always been ass never worth the money, united just play FM. There's no real squad building scouting. There's plenty of keepers better than him for cheaper.

I get that it’s tough to confront the fact that your hero may have flaws.You can’t be serious lol. Yes totally the same a guy coming off winning the league. 6 out of 7 leagues and 2 seasons removed from a double. But ya that’s the same as asking a 60 year old to play again.
What world are you in?
Sure thing most managers aren’t pep. You would know that if your team ever won anything post iPhone.
Sure after 12 games on a team many think are still stacked with talent. (No one predicted this)I get that it’s tough to confront the fact that your hero may have flaws.
Yes, pep’s history of managing the best teams of talent to play the best is the reason he isn’t fired. However, the one thing everyone has always been able to say is that we don’t know what pep is like as a manager when he doesn’t have the most talented team by far. Maybe we’re figuring that out now.
Of course no one predicted it. People assumed that City would do what it's always done, but it turns out that Pep can't adjust after a handful of key injuries and when his available squad isn't the deepest and most talented in the league, he has a massive downturn in form he can't seem to figure out.Sure after 12 games on a team many think are still stacked with talent.

Based off of 12 games..Of course no one predicted it. People assumed that City would do what it's always done, but it turns out that Pep can't adjust after a handful of key injuries and when his available squad isn't the deepest and most talented in the league, he has a massive downturn in form he can't seem to figure out.
He still sucks and many laughed at the priceThe UCL MVP while at Inter...
Before the Forest game he had actually played really well and was among the top stats for keepers, e.g. most clean sheets.He still sucks and many laughed at the price
I mean, if you want to extend the sample size back to the Arsenal game where they lost their BDO level player, that's been 20 matches, of which they've won 7, against a EFL Championship side, two sides in the relegation zone, a Slovak team, a Czech team, and then Fulham and Nottingham Forest (admittedly, a good win!).Based off of 12 games..
That’s great and world champs Arsenal are only 6 points up… food for thoughtI mean, if you want to extend the sample size back to the Arsenal game where they lost their BDO level player, that's been 20 matches, of which they've won 7, against a EFL Championship side, two sides in the relegation zone, a Slovak team, a Czech team, and then Fulham and Nottingham Forest (admittedly, a good win!).
But yes, the sample size is small because, well, it's been a small time that Pep's been forced to play without the best squad in the league.
There isn’t a united player you critique. This is known. Onana isn’t itBefore the Forest game he had actually played really well and was among the top stats for keepers, e.g. most clean sheets.
You clearly don't read my posts. LindeGlass? Garnacho's decision making? Slabhead? Martinez recently? Zirkzee's softness? Shite QuiteDalot? I've pointed out that Bayindir's had almost as many bad games for United as he has had appearances.There isn’t a united player you critique. This is known. Onana isn’t it

In his post Bayern/Barca time at City (aka everything after 4 years) Pep has won 4 straight PL titles, a champions league title and won 4 other minor trophies.This is also by far the longest tenure in one club by Guardiola, his City years are already the Barca and Bayern years combined. Maybe the same thing would have happened if he had stayed at them equally long?
I agree that the squad depth mentioned in the thread is the issue, but I thought it might have been Haaland having no back-up. Julian Alvarez earned City plenty of points coming in from the bench in previous seasons. But instead it has been more of a midfield & defence problem instead.
