The 3-5-2 was a good idea... It was necessary... But why do you have to gamble on something new? These are two ways in which City could have lined up against Lyon last night. This is Proven. Gundo at 6 or Double Pivot. Walker in the back 3, Bernardo at CM {1/2}
Mahrez and De Bruyne create the 2v1 at the wings. All these things work against that team. Our Back line doesn't have pace which is why we need someone like Koulibaly. It was seen that Laporte needed Help to get out of tough Situations so Pep Was Right about the set up but{2/...}
Not about the players. Why try something new at this stage. Why the 4-4-2 against Liverpool when the 5-3-2 and the 4-3-3 worked against them. Why Mahrez over Bernardo against Tottenham... Pep is a master Tactician but this isn't working. {3/...}
Ofcourse all of this wasn't his fault. But for the first 55minutes it was wrong. It was like we told our players that we give you 35minutes, 1 goal down and a lot of pressure circumstances.. Now play to win... Pep Plays the best brand of Football in the world
Why not rely on it? Why do we have to Change ourselves.... Why not make Lyon make the change. Is it because our players lack the same strength and will get exposed or is it because Pep likes to Gamble?? I don't know
So for the first 55minutes Pep was wrong, but when the change was made, when the setup was good and we finally started creating we needed our players to setup, Sterling has been Brilliant this season, he set up a Brilliant goal for De Bruyne but that miss.....
You simply can't afford that..... And this just shows that you have room to improve, to not crumble under that Pressure. Last night we showed that we can be exposed by Powerful, Pacy Players and the best thing is to invest in that direction. To avoid these situations.
We're a stable club, Our owners are one of the best itw. Our Club Directors are dedicated to bring Trophies and Progress so next season we go again. We've signed two players, only shows that we mean business. This is a learning experience for a club that Is
Breaking into the top ranks of Europe and for the players who are desperate to win the CL. It could take one year or 6-7years to win the Champions League but we'll get there eventually and when we do it would be Fucking Beautiful.
