The idea that Pep has to bring in 7 - 9 new players for Man-City to click is ridiculous. Of Pep's purchases... Bravo and Nolito have had no impact at all, Stone is not as reliable yet and for Gundogan... injuries have not given him a chance to be a pivotal player. IMO, Pep as a manager has to be a bit flexible in how he can get the best of the squad he has with a bit of changes, not anything as radical as is being suggested.
no matter how the conditions of the players Man. City should have qualified coach Pep as the world can take advantage of existing players to get achievements with the team at least they have to be always consistent play to win in every game. but, in the game against Liverpool, last night proved that Klopp is still superior to every meet him, and Klopp managed to steal points at Etihad Stadium so they can maintain the fourth position of the standings, although they are still outnumbered play.
It looks like this year is the first time Pep without a trophy, this proves that there is nothing special from pep.. He's just inherited a team that was already great, barcelona already excellent when frank rijkard left and Bayern is already great when Jupp Heynckes's retirement.
