When do they lose patience with him or he loses patience with them ?

3 Titles *
1 FA Cup
4 League Cups
Champion League Runner-up
Aw mate I was referring to solely to his Champions League performances. He was always going to tear up the Prem League & rack up trophies but the Champs League trophy is what Man City wanted from him. Same issue when he was at Bayern Munich. Could he do it without Messi & Barca?

I agree , domestic titles don't mean a real lot at all , unless they (he) wins a Champions League as well they have failed in what they ultimately want to achieve.

Just a matter of who tires of who first , he or the club

Poor Iniesta & Xavi , always overshadowed by Messi 😉

Yeah that Barca side was unbelievable, not even mentioning Busquets Puyol Pique Dani Alves, it was hard to lose with that squad lol
I think Pep just stays at Man City until he finally wins it, They should have won it last year, should have won their semi yesterday. I guess it's better than a couple years ago when they kept getting knocked out of quarters or R16 though. Be massive problems if he bottles this PL to Liverpool too

I remember when SBS had the rights to the Champions League , loved watching Barca , just wished Iniesta & Xavi actually shot more instead of passing their way into the 6 yard box.

Would love to watch them play 5 aside , would never get the ball off them 😀

Been their since 2016 so maybe this is his "final," managerial job , no doubt just buy another few players in the off season and reset again.

The Citizens play Newcastle , Wolves , West Ham (A) , Aston Villa

Hammers away possibly a danger

Liverpudlians play Tottenham , Aston Villa (A) , Southampton (A) , Wolves

FA Cup Final in between Villa & Southampton

Champions League Final 6 days after Wolves (can't win the league then probably "rest" the first XI)

110 pts
Up 2 spots
50 overall

Captain DeBruyne and Cancelo save me from an embarrassing score, the only two get to double figures, lucky they weren’t rested this round

Maddison and Regulion injured, Coutinho starting on the pine, forgot to change my formation so I could start Antonio, and what do you know he breaks his goal scoring drought😢

121, up 10 spots to 118th. Left an 11 and an 18 on the bench which is a bit frustrating. Picked the right captain for once at least. 30 points off a top 100 ranking, think I may have left it too late, just 1 trade left for the last two rounds.

Forgot to change formation and captaincy last round, so was stuck with T Werner as captain again. :ROFLMAO:

Score: 121
Round Rank: 231
Overall Rank: 32 (from 34)

Current formation:

Lucky you had Salah on the bench (I did too). I know at least one of my opponents started him on field this week, he was benched for the first half today, might be a second half sub, but not ideal.
