His body language was bad when they went 2 down. Clinical performance by Everton mind, same mistakes from the Citeh players as Stones booted it off Coleman and it fell right to Lookman for the 4th

Not looking good for him. The PL is simply a more competitive league than what he's used to - that may well be because the teams in it share a similar level of shiteness, but either way, that's his big problem.

Hope he sticks around beyond this season to bring it back. BTW, what was he saying about the rules in England in that ridiculous interview? Can't really understand him...

 

Something about how something that happened to Bravo was a foul anywhere but England - standard whinging really.

I'm prepared to accept that he's past his peak or something rather than just 'never having been any good' which is rather preposterous. He just doesn't look like he enjoys it tbf.

 

Plus, Tiki Taka was never going to be improved post-Barcelona. He'll never work with a team of players that good again. The whole point of moving on is surely to adapt and change your outlook, not attempt to recreate it at every turn.

He doesnt seem like he's adapting to be honest.  Wanting the defenders to pass about.  They dont have the time in this league a lot of the time.  Plus, the defense is an absolute shambles, Stones :lol:.

I dont think he likes the media too, but who can blame him :lol:

Thing is, City on paper aren't actually that good, they've spent years and a fortune building a defence that isn't very good.

 

Kompany and Zabaleta have been their best defenders of recent years and they are both coming up to being finished. They also both joined before the current owners.

 

Since then it's been managala, Otamendi, Clichy, Stones etc.

 

The midfields not there either though, Fernando, Fernandinho and Toure aren't of the quality to do what he'd want from them, especially now Toure is getting on a bit, Gundogan is an excellent player but he's made of glass.

 

De Bruyne, Silva and Aguero are all class, Aguero is too injury prone though.

He's stupid and will never realise that he has to adapt to English football rather than vice versa.

 

You're suggesting the only possibility is that he doesn't see it intellectually though. The other, more likely scenario, is that he's too much of a purist, too stubborn, to actually want to adapt. Hence the situation with Bravo and Hart.

Fair points I guess, their recruitment has been questionable for some time. Begiristain or whatever his name is doesn't seem to be all that good at picking players.

He needs a big clear out like, but they should be doing better than they are.

 

They're 3 points off second and are in the knockout stage of the CL, they're hardly in crisis.

I reckon he'll do a runner in the summer. Very surprised how tetchy he's become at the first sign of trouble. Slumped in his seat yesterday staring at his shoes at three down. He's basically saying everything is wrong with the English game as if he never watched any PL before he came here.
