MoFattal wrote:I definitely agree with you on this point. The issue with Pep, for me at least, is basically his contract duration. The squad needs rebuilding, there is no doubt about it. It might have come two years late to figure it out, but now it is crystal clear. If Pep is to be the base of this rebuilding, then he needs to stay for a longer period. .

I know man. But Pep has a steep slope to climb and I'm afraid people just don't realize changing coaches will only help in one small matter when in fact the team has a multitude of issues.
The DM is old. Plain old. What happens with Lahm, Alonso and Bastian after the summer is everyone's guess. That is a bigif you ask me. I simply don't want to see tired Lahm or confused Basti or dispossessed Alonso ever again. Problem is, those three carry a lot more weight than passing the ball around. They can't be sold outright.
Then there's fullback issue. Rafinha needs to be upgraded, Bernat needs to learn how to shoot and Alaba needs to stay healthy.
Then there's the second striker aka super sub which the team simply doesn't have.
If you haven't had a heart attack yet we need to talk about three transfer season expensive Robbery. The replacement for either one can set you back ten years finance wise.
So when people start talking about replacing the coach I keep looking at this roster and the issues that the team has and realize how would have another coach coped with this situation.
Whoever sits on the iron throne next season ain't gonna have a smooth ride if you don't fix these issues first. That's the issue that needs solving, not our cup winning possession stats or lack of attacking stats without wingers.

While I agree with you, it does seem to have happened in both this season and last season that the players start thinking the season is over as soon as they win the league. That's a big problem if we ever want to win the CL and it needs to be solved.
MoFattal wrote:Exactly. I thought we should have learned from our mistakes last season, but almost the same thing happened now: a run of poor domestic performances and a big loss in a CL semi-final. Last season there was also the World Cup as a factor which might have had some effect on those performances, but there is nothing going on this summer which makes the similar situation more alarming.
