This City team is getting old, plus they've botched some transfers and sold guys like Palmer and Alvarez ... it's worse squad than in previous years, and he just has no answers. Genuinely baffled by his contract renewal too, guy constantly looks like he's about to have a mental breakdown.

And that's all before you factor in the looming 115.
This is the thing that annoys me the most. People bitch and moan about Klopp and various other managers around the League in post-games or interviews or how they act on the touchline, etc.

Yeah. Because those guys have PRESSURE.

They're pressured to do the best with what they've got, they're pressured to compete in multiple competitions, they're pressured to try and make Europe, they're pressured to maintain a salary structure, they're pressured to balance transfers, etc.

Pep has no pressure. He has always had an open chequebook. So, sorry not sorry that when things suddenly arent going 110% his way he flips his lid and starts tearing at his face?

My 'Pep Sympathy-o-Meter' is firmly lodged on zero.
