Asked him to show up in the run-in

My understanding is Pep Guardiola will step down at the end of the season with Enzo Maresca all but agreed to take charge next season. Let me explain. Everyone at their club knows this is the direction of travel and they have gone as far as to talk about naming a stand in his honour. The reason it has not been reported as of yet is because every single credible journalist fears Pep and his erratic nature of making a U-Turn “out of the blue” and you cant attach your lifes work and reputation to such a erratic yet genius human being without being 100000% sure and I respect that. In summary, City have prepared for life without him with everything in place hoping he says “ we cannoh replace me” The direction of travel is for him to step down and they have agreed an in-depth package with Maresca. They will deny it and I respect that but… Let the chips fall where they may.

“Think bigger” and Doku is your reference point? Some of the takes I see make me wonder if people actually understand the basics. Doku is a specialized 1v1 winger profile. Pep uses him to stretch teams, beat his man, and gain territorial advantage in the final third through dribbling and creativity, that’s his role. He’s not an output machine and he’s not a complete winger. He should never be the benchmark for “thinking bigger.”

Acting like Mika Godts can’t replicate it

🚨 Luis Enrique on criticism about 5-4 result: “You shouldn't respect all opinions… because if it's a shitty opinion you shouldn't respect it”. “There will be people who like to play football this way, which is the majority, and here I include myself, and others who don't like to play like that”. “I don't care about those opinions. What we show is that most people who love football enjoyed it and that's the important thing”.

Arteta: "You work for nine months for this, and the rules aren't applied. That can't happen."
