But scoring wasnt the problem for Citeh - stopping the other team scoring was. Its a bit of a Pep trait. His sides have never been that solid in defence.
Bravo,Otamendi and Stones have mistakes in them and Kompany can't keep fit.Of course they are beatableQuote:

In fairness, getting Pep is like a trophy.Quote:

He's undoubtedly a quality manager but I am interested to see how he does in a league where there are about four or five sides capable of challenging his team rather than the one or none he has been used to domestically.
I'd like to see these fancy-dan managers who flit from big club to big club, all with big budgets, have a go at running Sunderland or West Brom, or Charlton. See how many trophies they win there. :nod:Quote:
