I like Pep’s response in the interview after the match they loss to Liverpool, it shows some sense of professionalism in him as a coach. He’s really going to pass this phase too in my opinion and all this are part of the processes. You can’t always get it right always and whenever you face some challenges in the league, it’s only telling you to adjust and learn from those that you’re already missing. They are a great team and even now I can’t really say they’re out of the title race already, anything can happen at anytime. It’s much harder to maintain the upper position on the standings than moving up the standings, so it’s still possible things turns out for them better in the future.
I am not so sure, he is going into his Mourinho period and that only leads to less victories in the future. There is a potential of him just trying to live in the past if he keeps doing this, doesn't mean they will keep on losing, of course they will eventually get a win, Mourinho won with United too, but not enough, and he was eventually sacked because of it.
I believe if Pep makes this a common thing, talk about what he won and not think about what he can win, then he is going to be bad as well, we do not need managers like that anymore. Sure he won six titles, but that doesn't change what's happening right now, what we care is what's happening right now and because of that we can't really consider the bigger picture. If he can focus on the future, he can realize that they have been doing badly for a whole month now, November 2024, Manchester City didn't had a single victory for a whole month, he needs to change that and get some wins once again instead of looking at the past.
