Like it or not, and I don't because they keep happening to my favorite player ever (Schweinsteiger), injuries happen.

Despite all the injuries, Pep still has a team that could beat most European rivals. Most of his second choice players are still good enough that they'd start on a lot of teams. He should have been able to show his class as a manager by guiding his team past Porto. Instead, his side looked full on bad and he did what he's done with HWMW. Given Bayern's expectations for the year, and again the fact that injuries happen to every team, his actions with the physios should have led to an instant sacking.

I love the nickname "Dr. Pep" btw, Ron...I wish I could draw a character that looked sort of like a cross between Pep and Dr. Nick Rivera from the Simpsons.
