This is the quintessential Pep sweet talk before he destroys the opposing team 5-0. Many people have fallen prey to it.

I’ve said this for years, but he’s just not good enough. I’m sure he is one of the most wonderful human beings on the planet, but as a striker he is below average. He could probably be a good player for teams in the bottom half of the premier league, but that’s about it.

If we seriously want to challenge for major titles for the next few years, then we need to replace him with someone better as soon as possible.
