Question 1: Name a team that would beat 22-23 Man City.

This is a hard one, but one team comes to mind immediately, 14/15 Barca. They went crazy in the Champions League, in fact beating Man City, the run they went on was fantastic.

Question 2: Name a United player you would swap a City player for.

Oh, another hard one because I don’t want any, but if I had to be honest, I think Pep would be able to develop Kobbie Mainoo into a legend, so him for sure. But to swap him with a City player… Hmm. I want to give an even trade, so I’m not going to go Scott Carson. I feel like Sergio Gomez won’t develop into the player Pep is imagining, so swap him with Mainoo. Gomez might be a good late-defensive substitute for Varane or Wan Bisakka.

Question 3: Liverpool swap?

Hmm, they do have great players, so let me think this one out. Ok, got it. Dominik Szobabslai. Him for Grealish, mark my word. Even though many City fans love Jacky G, he is just an extra player who is not that interesting. Szbobslai under Pep is a powerhouse, and Jacky G could be a Luis Diaz replacement.

Question 4: How could the Chelsea FC crisis be solved? What would Chelsea look like under Pep?

I think that Chelsea just needs to have a complete team and a lineup that they stick with for the most part. They have to improve their Chemistry and to be honest, Poch’s tactics are not working. There is not much you could do for Chelsea to make them better. On the other hand, I can’t imagine Pep on Chelsea. He doesn’t have what he needs for his magic.

Question 5: Pep manages England; what does it look like.

Before I begin, I believe Pep could not manage an international team. And for England, He could probably build the team around Declan Rice, but then he’ll have to invert Rashford, Saka, and the other wingers to left and right midfielders, it just would be unnatural.
