Guardiola has been channelling his inner Steve Rusk by the sounds of it, after yesterday’s result he said “it is what it is”

This topic always brings out the fruitcakes but for me it's a reflection on the strain that top lwvel athletes put on their bodies these days. Compared to players of yesteryear, today's footballers push themselves as hard as they can and look for every marginal gain they can obtain. That level of high performance puts a higher strain on their bodies and that's why those with underlying and often undetected issues are coming to light more frequently. That could be scientifically-flawed nonsense, but that's the way I see it. Played football with a sport science lecturer at my previous job, and he said a few times that elite athletics of any sort these days is about pushing your body beyond what it can reasonably handle For me i think thats the major reason we see all these injuries around in the game today where every team are affected and not just us.

That kind of defeatist attitude quickly spreads to the players, as we have seen, IMHO.

I doubt Pep is saying 'it is what it is' to his players in the dressing room though, quite the opposite. Never got the impression of that with Rusk - especially as the previous incumbent was allegedly fired for reading players the riot act one too many times.

Lose a couple of back to back games is enough nowadays in that league. It makes the game look stable where we are.

Another side ravaged by injuries and the number of games played catching up, not sure any other manager would do better.

Howe has known his destiny since he was appointed, turn an average team to a team near the top, before the regime will demand an upgrade to a trophy winning manager. His people will negotiate a payoff which will make him even more of a millionaire then he'll get a new job at a Fulham type of club. They're at the Mark Hughes to Roberto Mancini step.
