Pep sycophants in the media are weird are nauseating, man.

To read them you would think footy was shit before he rocked up with his ideas and now literally every coach in the world is in a desperate rush to play Pep-ball.

Then try to act as arbiters oh who is and is not

allowed to be criticised and for what. We see the same bollocks with fucking everything these days with the media who have decided to be gatekeepers on who is and is not criticised.

Pep is allowed to be criticised. City can and were winning domestic titles without him. Bayern

too. That will NEVER be a problem for a club that dominates the spending in their domestic league. Sure, they are winning with a little more pizzaz and consistency now... they are also spending a fucktonne more money.

City want to carry that dominance into Europe. He has utterly

failed at this objective so far. Pep overthinking in big games - something he himself has admitted in the past at Bayern - is a large part of the reason why this has happened.

Whether that is some narcissistic desire to make the success all about his, his genius, the chances he

made - or just simply focuses so much on one issue like how to open up spaces in Chelsea's compact midfield that he completely misses the point that he is leaving his own midfield wide open to do so - it doesn't matter. All that matters is that he IS doing this. And THAT deserves

analysis and criticism. And if Joey Cigarman Barton or Graham Ballbag take issue with this criticism, I really couldn't give a fuck.
