So his professional squad of 25 players have deliberately ignored treble-winning manager Jupp Heynckes' tactical instructions in favour of following Pep's (who left 2 years ago and has been direct with City at times) tactical instructions from memory? That's genuinely what you think an experienced team of world class footballers did?

That's some impact Pep has embedded on that club if that's the case. Mindblowing even.

Can't wait for City continue to rack up record points totals every year from memory after Pep leaves.

Yes. He actually has that big of an impact on the teams he manages.

Pep drills his teams hard, to where they play his style second nature. He's a great coach.

City play more direct because of the demand of the league. You have to play direct, so he's altered his style to reflect the league but retains the general philosophy of total football.

pep full credit? not the tiny issue of having endless arab money to spend disgusting amounts of money on any player they wanted?

United have limitless money as well to be fair. It it ain�t like it was close.

I am still absolutely disgusted by how Chelsea played against Citeh twice to the extent I don�t give a s.hit about Conte but that doesn�t distract that Conte thought it was acceptable to set up like such a pathetic little b.itch.

Chelsea ain�t exactly paupers. We can get mostly whoever we want

It's not even remotely close the amount of money city have spent compared to united and chelscum.

You've changed tone since the start of the season when you were saying you'd give him full credit if he managed to win the league playing his style, which was deemed virtually impossible to do by most in here.

1 title and almost 100 (one hundred) points later and the goalposts have moved.

100 points.. 100 goals.. nobody cares at the end of the day.. I had to look up who had scored the most goals previously.. just meaningless stats that will be forgotten next season

Winning the league is what matters and to be fair he did that.. but so did Mancini.. Pellegrini

I was impressed with him this season up until the CL quarters.. the only real time he has been challenged this season he failed.. Man City were awful vs Liverpool.. absolutely toothless

So what has he done that is so special? Won the league with loads of points? He failed in the champions league yet again like he did with Bayern

PL is really strong yet.. Chelsea and Lecister won it

And Man United who are god awful currently sit second comfortably

Spurs will never be legitimate challengers at this rate..

And as good as Liverpool play.. you dont win leagues with the old Kevin Keegan "they score 4 we score 5" tactics

The guy absolutely cracked under the pressure even getting sent off vs Liverpool

Look at all the money Pep and Jose have spent and they're still no better in Europe.

[F l i c k e r]

United could be 1000x better than what they are.

Jose is just shot to pieces.

****ing Arsenal.
Don't know why I bother to watch sometimes.

If Chelsea appoint Sarri I’ll be annoyed. He has a preference for older, more experienced players and his literally never won a thing in his 18 year managerial career.

The football hipsters choice.

They’ll employ him and sack him when it turns out he can’t win anything. Even though he’s never won anything! He has No knowledge of English footy and I don’t think he can speak English so therefore can’t address the media or the fans.

I am willing to accept Marco Silva too as well as Brenda.

The Chelsea board know nothing about football.

Board consists of an Oligarch (who actually is likely to have the most football knowledge out them), a bunch of lawyers, a commercial director, and secretary who somehow runs the whole thing.

I’m sure it went like this...

Oh this guy seems popular?

Well, what’s he done?

Absolutely nothing basically. He’s tactically innovative.

Why’s he popular then?

Dunno. Smokes. He wears jeans.

Should we get him?

Erm, yeah?

More than anything Chelsea need a director of football or at least a fan of the sport.

I think we’ll drop out of the top 6 next season
