According to the BBC, Pep is down to his last 14 or 15 players. Heartbreaking news :D :D

He'll be demanding only 1 sub then, instead of 9.

I'm sure some lads from their youth setup, that they've no doubt spent millions on are capable of sitting on the bench.

Nah, those lads are mainly for display purposes only and then flogged for millions.
They're generally not meant for the first team :roll:

Can't they just take the **** again and make an emergency loan signing like they did for a goalie year ago?

To be honest, I’m not sure City are a team you can point fingers at for not playing academy players.

He’s a great manager. There’s no denying it. He has nothing to prove.

You could say he has nothing to prove.........or you could say that anyone who has only ever managed Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Man City has proved nothing.

But that would be silly

To get the very best out of the best players, you need the best coaches

Just a quick glance at Man United under Solskjaer tells you that

"Just a quick glance at Man United under Solskjaer tells you that"

Yes, but:

Moyes - currently THE star PL manager - failed at OT.

Van Gaal: not too shabby a CV failed at OT.

Mourinho: two CL victories failed at OT.

I'm sure City and Pep will cope isn't that why they have such an expensively assembled squad of superstars.

Just give him another couple of hundred million to spend on players and I'm sure he can eek out a few more results.

City's starting XI at Villa tonight.

Man City XI: Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Ake, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Sterling, Mahrez, Jesus.

And Grealish is on the bench, a £100m player on the bench and yet apparently they have a crisis.

Foden on the bench too, arguably the best player in the Premier League

The Man city squad would start dropping like flies if snows again and they get snowflakes in their eyes.....probably have to postpone their matches.

Yet despite OGS managing Man U they finished 2nd and got to the Europa league Cup final.

Surely that proves that anyone can get a certain amount of success.

Well we will never know because he will never have to show what he could do with limited resources.
Meanwhile, he has £100m players on the bench and has not won the Champions League since 2011.

He’s an elite manager, why would he need to drop down to a lower level? That’s like saying Ronaldo isn’t world class because he hasn’t scored goals for a side like Burnley.
