I was one of those people who doubted him, one of those people who thought he was an overrated manager who just inherited great teams and while City were by no means a bad squad to begin with he has noticeably improved them A LOT, they went from good premiership team to dominant pl team and potential CL challengers, and I'm willing to admit I was wrong.
Who else? Confess your sins

Only britbongs who still thought eplel would be the best league doubted him la

It's funny because De Bruyne and Sterling were signed by Pellegrini the year he was sacked
Aguero and Silva even odler
He has done nothing to improve City

Don't reply to me you grub

What the fuck is going on, he's played 5 fucking games, no doubt this crap will continue when they beat relegation tier stoke in the cup tonight

I will confess if they will still play like this in may

oh you are the arsefag aussie ayyyy lmao why did you chose such a shit limp dick team to bandwagon? Don't tell because they play good football, we both know that's not true. Is it because you're '''''''asian''''''''? >can finally win the league because top rivals are shit >leicester wins it instead lel
Jace Jackson
Literally the bottom 3 teams in the league right now and >Mouyes
Dominic Hall
Yeah getting the GOAT as he was about to enter his prime really sucked. Then he had scrubs like Xavi and Iniesta to work with.
Aaron Parker
He is doing pretty good but I'm only going to apologize after he wins the CL.
Christopher Bell
In 2008 they were 2 points away of not entering the CL. Xavi and Iniesta were bench warmers and Messi played as a winger and never scored more than 20 goals in a season.
William Kelly
>the bottom 4 teams
Jack Perry
CL? I will only apologize when he wins the WC with etiopia
Caleb Brooks

Luis Martinez
Technically correct but they look better nevertheless
Brandon Foster
this
i'll wait until the end of the season to judge
Kayden Peterson
I know what you mean, it's like when Ibra scores a penalty against some team fighting relegation and he's suddenly world class or when Pogba costs £90m, does nothing, but he had a good match against Chievo once so he's obviously a world beater, it's the same kind of thing as that really. I think Memeinho is trying to turn Manure in Memechester, there's no other explanation.
Zachary Scott
You fags haven't even played any good teams yet

These are the only ones I saw regularly. Most people acknowledged that City had a good squad they just bottled it a lot.

Citeh at the start of last season were doing just as well.
Ryan Taylor
Requesting poop.gif. Please ayone.
Andrew Carter
Nah, most people were laughing at a squad with mangala, bony, old yaya, otamendi's last season, the other big head cb, the fullbacks, joe shart, sterlel the scam, aguero permacrock, sigining stones for too much, aids gundogan, nolito who, etc
and how he would have to build a new team instead of getting the '''''''great'''''' 2008 barcelona (it was shit) and treble winners bayern, because city almost failed to make cl spots and played like absolute shit
and how his players wouldn't be able to play tiki taka because they weren't from la masia and shiet
etc

Pep's teams deflate around March/April. If he hasnt cleared 1st place by then they are ducked

there's at least 5 spainfags, probably more, in football sp and they all shit on the eplel

Dimitri is a cunt and should shut his whore mouth.
Ian Jones
That lost to Feyenord and Watford
Jonathan Jackson
Only after Pep beat them in the derby....before that look at what everyone was saying. Quickly change their fucking tunes.
Mason Adams
>1 point more than last season after this time
but, yeah, they do play much better actually
Bentley Lee
what did he exactly acomplished?
took a top of the league team and kept them at the top of the league again with one of the biggest budgets in the world?
Hudson King
>he has noticeably improved them A LOT
They had the best squad last season and he brought in a ton of new players this season.
Wyatt Butler
saved
Hunter Edwards
I never doubted him and have followed him since Barca. All you idiots who say he is a Messi baby can eat a big shit now. You lose. Viva el Manchester City faggots
Thomas Baker
>4 years later halalfags still butthurt this is what he did, and it's great
Isaac Roberts
its more funny how he's not playing slow possesion football and people still think he only knows how to manage one way, he's seen all of city's talent is in attacking midfield forwards so he's playing fast football but muh tiki taka muh philosophie
Noah Sanchez
the funnier thing is at barcelona he did the same thing when he could. It was possession football but still very vertical and with long balls and counter attacks. It wasn't until his last season and when rivals would mostly sit back and defend deep that the passing was more horizontal, and then with vilanova it got really horizontal. Watch the 5-0 against mou's halal, for example
Zachary Price

Thomas Evans
I stopped following Bayern when he went there. Never have I been so right. Good riddance. >inb4 titles
Nolan Morris
Messi wasnt Messi until Poop taught him how to be Messi
Hunter Green
dumb frogposter
Isaac Morris
I won't be impressed till he wins the class with city. City have been blowing premier league sides away for years in the league and in the transfer market.
Dominic Wright
If he isn't a good manager, who is?
Antonio "can't do jack shit in Europe" Conte? Jurgen "last place in a 1.5 team league" Klopp? Jose "no success with infinite budget" Mourinho? Diego "choke it when it matters" Simeone? Zidane? Enrique? Ancellotti? Emery?
Good teams are immediately great teams with tons of consistency and a solid youth base under him. People discredit him for using financially strong teams, yet people who also fail even with those conditions are somehow better. I don't fucking understand.
Nicholas Anderson
You still can't deny that City improved A LOT since Pep arrived, you just have to look at their playstyle
Camden Young
Probably going to get downvoted for this but Pep is a systembabby who relies on transfer budgets to win. But he does play nice football.
Liam Moore
eddie howe arsene wenger tony pulis
to name but a few
Connor Morales
Benitez Jupp
And there's no reason Pep should be rated above Enrique.
Landon Carter
>Jupp >6 relevant titles in 35 years and never winning anything outside of halal and bayern kys pajeet
Jeremiah Garcia
Two of those are nobodies (although Howe is improving somewhat) and Wenger has become synonymous with choking.
Benitez literally failed with Real Madrid and was doing poorly before that as well. He hardly had any league success.
Jupp was also pretty poor in the league historically, was synonymous with choking at the team, and had pretty weak European stints bar CL victories with Real Madrid (which did awful domestically) and Bayern Munich, after his third try.
Enrique has done fine, just has rotation issues and so far has failed to have a bench that allows the team to compete in plenty of competitions without having to give up so much (see Alaves for a recent one)
Nicholas Walker
Have to say I am impressed with his City career so far. He has made some streaky duds like that nigger from liverpool, de bruyne and otamendi look like world beaters.
But it remains to be seen what they'll do when they actually face a rough test like one of the spanish teams or bayern. Idk what happened to the prem teams but they look worse every year regardless of transfers. Conte still memeing his shit formation at Chelsea, Mouyes making no progress, Liverpool and Arsenal still looking mediocre, Leicester proving it was just a one season wonder etc..
Jonathan Turner
Pajeet is an idiot but Benitez didn't fail with halal, he's the reason they got on the right track while that bald kebab took all the credit
Joshua Sullivan
But what about winning the prem with Yeovil? WHAT ABOUT THE BLOODY SOLDIERS
Jason Thompson
Never expected him to fail, but then again I didn't think he'd have the start he has had. I was expecting City to start dominating in 2017-18
Luis Perry
I like that Benitez, despite shortcomings that happen, almost always manages to at least help the team qualify into the Champions League. The fat Spanish waiter is just not on the same level of overall consistency as Guardiola, but he's definitely up there. There's just a bad perception about him, but he actually has a solid track record, apart from always being forced to pick up from Mou's sloppy seconds.
Ian Peterson
Yeah he has a bad image but he's a very good manager, pk7 mocked him because he didn't want to change so they put a figurehead like zimeme so pk7 will listen
Kayden James
shame shame shame I confess I confess shame shame shame
Brody Ward
Wait for him to crash and burn in the CL-Semis.
Pep isn't overrated, your shitty league is.
Parker Brown
De Bruyne was never a dud, he just got a major injury last year
Jayden Carter
Zidane just copypasted Benitez's idea of Madrid. The difference was the he was boicotted
Ayden Rogers
lol bravo
Austin White
de bruyne was really good last year, he just got injured
Carter Thompson
And once City start losing a couple games you will be the first to tell everybody what a hack he is who got exposed you sad faggot
