.....and so here we are.
Day one of an eight day period which has the potential not only to define our season but also Guardiola’s time at the club. Spurs twice in a row and then the rags where we play our game in hand on the dippers. The media have been doing their part to ramp up the pressure on the City manager over the past few weeks and with every game by their reference to the Q. Their agenda hasn't changed - they are desperate for him to fail and their mechanism has been a continual raising of the bar of expectation. Chuffed at his failure to win the league in his first season they were gutted to see him win two trophies in his second and blow everyone away in the league into the bargain so it became "not great unless you win back-to-back titles" which has now morphed into The Q. #neverhappy.
Pep is well aware of what pressure feels like and his experience from his time at Barcelona when they faced Maureen’s Real Madrid 4 times in the space of 18 days in 2011. He has shown shrewdness in his approach so far in guiding his squad through this tense period, keeping them focused, carefully shielding players carrying knocks and recovering from injuries - we have to hope that he can get them over the line this time.
It starts tonight!
Come on City!!
