Premier League 2020/2021

Pep is done

[BBZ8800]

From you who claim they never cross the ball when in fact cross it more than any team in league.

They do stupid crosses and sterile passes.

They cross a lot.
Out of 100 crosses, of course that Jesus will score 5 headers.
The point is: imagine 100 crosses to someone who is way stronger, like Cr7, Benz, Lewa, Kane.
They would score way more.

Pep has traded lethal finishing and strength in the air for Cfs who can linkup well.

He would rather pick 20 shots per match and 2 goals than 10 shots and 3 goals.

No wonder that City always dominates but can't score.
Because they are not scoring due to lethal finishers or good header-players but due to an insane amount of chances.

But once when teams figured out some tricks, City is the same as Barca: trying to play through the middle (which is hard) or playing dumb crosses to Messi/Jesus.

But that's Pep style.

Of all the players City miss probably prime Fernandinho is the one.

They're missing Kompany as well. Aguero's absence is felt too. The players they replaced them with are not that good.

Aye but you claimed at one point they dont cross and are one dimensional and then vanished when told different.

Now crossing too much is textbook Pep.....

Damn, no Bale today. I wanted to see him. Stupid EPL 3 subs rule

[JamDav1982]

Clearly but Fernandinho in that midfield is biggest loss in recent year in my opinion.

Looks like they are changing that rule.

Been better without Bale anyway.

[Sterlingfan2000]

They are also missing Sane who dribbles past 3 players casually and had to be double marked

[te amo barca]

Looks like they are changing that rule.

Been better without Bale anyway.

He is not starter level at all (yet?) but just imagine the meme potential if he scored the third one.

[Vilarrubi]

Mourinho GOAT? Imagine if he won PL again...

[JamDav1982]

Why would it be meme potential?

Any reason for Cules to clutch onto any anti-Real narrative this year lol

[Andresito]

Jesus has got great technique but he lacks the killer ability in the box that a WC striker needs.

[te amo barca]

Why would it be meme potential?

Mainly due to golf, Wales, etc. jokes and the fact that it would have been the goal that makes the victory a resounding one.

letting Bale go was the right decision. There are no "reasons" to clutch onto anti-Real narrative this year, they are providing material non-stop

[jairzinho]

Any other coach would be fired by now. Pep still in the job because of his name.
