The Pep myth

woodlebert said:
The poster said "ripped apart" which only happens out of possession, so I think that is what they meant

I think the issues around 4-4-2 would be in an attacking shape, less so a defensive one

If you lose possession because the opposition have an extra man in the middle of the pitch to press you, win the ball back before you get out of your own half and get the ball into a dangerous area before you get into your defensive shape you've still been ripped apart so to speak.

Yes agreed this is a risk of every formation

I think his players get so worried about upsetting him. He has them playing a certain way that sometimes it stifles flair or maybe a quick long ball over the top....I watched Cherki the other week and he tried something spectacular...Pep was going apeshit on sidelines and on next break of play you could see Pep berating Cherki

100% this. Interested to hear the likes of De Bruyne, Grealish, etc. write about him, if they ever release autobiographies.
 
It’s a real possibility now that he could go 2 seasons without a league title for the first time ever, tho win game in hand and beat arsenal and it’ll only be 3 points

Not getting his own way this season so splashed out on Guehi and Semenyo and still not enough. He walks end of the season

He may well walk ?
Will be more interesting what happens with Arteta ?
If they don't win a trophy, once again, cannot see Arsenal giving him yet another season...
