The defensive mistakes were individual and can't be levelled at Pep - although Bravo's mistake does fuel doubts about Pep's decision to edge out Hart. The Aguero situation is the big one, though, not just leaving him on the bench but bringing him on when the game was already lost, and that's entirely Pep's decision. Could he even be trying to edge him out, too? If he is that really would be a huge move which could quickly threaten his relationship with fans. (Especially with news that he also left Kompany out of the squad altogether, despite being passed fit.) I only hope for his sake that his decisions are tactical and not just power plays. Hmm.
