    Remember when Pep had City winning the treble and he was all about big at the back and playing CB’s like Akanji, Ake at fullback with Dias and others in the middle. Do you think Pep gets bored of certain strategies and just wants to evolve the team into something else? They were so solid defensively that season and since then they look like they can concede at any time.
