Pep is done
From you who claim they never cross the ball when in fact cross it more than any team in league.
Of all the players City miss probably prime Fernandinho is the one.
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.
They're missing Kompany as well. Aguero's absence is felt too. The players they replaced them with are not that good.
Damn, no Bale today. I wanted to see him. Stupid EPL 3 subs rule
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.
Why would it be meme potential?

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