Klopp was established as well. Slot everyone is still figuring him out. A bit like Ange at Spurs last season. Was like a steamroller until teams figured out how to play against him.

Slot has taken over a well oiled machine. Bought basically no one and had a very good pre season because of it.

It will be interesting to see how things pan out next season and if he can replicate it without Salah if he goes.

I don't think Fergie would have won in 12/13 without the RVP purple season and I see similarities with Salah this season.

Let's all hope Salah goes, they pick up some injuries, Slot gets found out and they end up mid table like MUFC :cool:

Tbf I thought Pep's response was funny to that clearly joke chant

Then he repeated it at the end of the game to his own fans and showed he was actually very rattled by it lol

And then had a cry about it in his press-conference too.

Pep's always been a bit emotionally unstable and even when winning he's struggled taking any form of criticism, often responding to questions in a sarcastic and passive aggressive way so it's no surprise that he's having a bit of a meltdown now.

HE needs to urn things around quickly, I'm not suggesting he is in any danger of getting the sack but momentum is so important in sport and so difficult to get back once lost he certainly has his work cut out in the coming days Forest and Palace should give him a good opportunity to get things going again but if they come away from those without 6 points the noise will only get louder.

lol didn't catch that, a tad soft when I thought he handled the moment in a great way

Would be ridiculous to not let him try and correct it with another season regardless of how bad this one goes lol

agreed, it is just incredibly hard to turn the momentum back in your favour

Injured players will come back/get fully fit and he'll stumble upon a way of playing to get them to the end of the season. They're too good not to beat most teams most of the time but a bit like us of 2 years ago, they'll get found out plenty of times too. I mentioned the other day, they just look old and tired now and while it's City's/Pep's responsibility to have guarded against that, it's sometimes hard to predict when players legs are going to leave them.

If they're not found guilty of their 130 odd charges then they've got huge room to spend in the summer and will put things right. City have made fairly sizeable profits from player trading in the last few seasons and part of me questions whether this is to give themselves a FFP buffer in the event they are found guilty but if they're not, they could afford to spend bonkers money on correcting the issues in their squad without any FFP issues.

He is more than emotionally unstable. He scratched all his face up. I have seen people sent to hospital for doing the same!

He will never be no Taggart and he knows it.
