Pep Guardiola Performances - 2018/19

[squirtyflower]

Well we lost three times against the same team.

Do you believe we were out played by them at the the Etihad in the return leg?

 

[jimharri]

Yeah, in fact, that’s true. It was a spell. Would you agree that we’d need to try and address that things that went wrong in that spell?
And the game didn’t go on for 10 more unfortunately.

We need to sharpen up on Plan A, not an alternative plan. Also, still waiting to hear why you haven't posted more frequently, given how successful we've become since you signed up on here.

 

[blue by birth]

I get that he’s probably like that. And I’m daring to criticise him for it. It didn’t fail for 90 minutes, it failed for 90 minutes three times, against the same team with the same style.

It didn't fail for 90 minutes three times against the Grievers ffs.
They were hanging on in the league game at klanfield.
In champs league we were screwed royally by the officials..their 1st goal was from an offside that wasn't given..we had a good goal disallowed for offside which wasn't offside.
Add to that Sterling was fouled and no penalty was given.
At ours we had another goal incorrectly ruled out for offside which would have put us 2-0 up.
We will beat the candle lighting grieving bus wrecking twats and we will retain our title as champions of England.
Can you have a moan about Pep...hmmm let me think for a moment...
.....
....
...
NO FUCKING WAY

Have we lost against Liverpool again, I must have fallen asleep.

Last season, we murdered them once, had a nightmare 15 minutes, yet nearly secured a 4-4 draw, were done twice away by bad decisions in the CL, and with better finishing in the home leg (and better decisions again), would have gone through.

Suddenly Pep should now adopt Mourinho style football (or maybe even the tactics of (relegated) West Brom, who they managed 1 point against.

Pep is the best manager on the planet,ask his peers,ask his staff and ask his players.....they will all tell you the same thing.

Of course he gets things wrong but the man has given me some of the best moments of my life,subsequently i find it incredible that an individual wants to find fault.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

A 3-0 easy win and Pep was furious at our missed chances, so much so he cancelled Sunday as a rest day and got them all in for 'specialist' training.

What a guy, we are so blessed blues: )

 

[waspish]

Quite right the wastefulness will cost us in important games better to ram it home now.

 

[mayo31]

Pep said after we won the title on some Monday night special, he will know when the players are shirking and he will sort it

Seems to me he is seeing some of them as slacking. Kick them now before it settles right in.

 

[abu13]

I should think so, sure their keeper made some very good saves but the ammount of times we failed to get a shot on target was concerning.

We need to be a lot more clinical, we should have won by 6 or 7 with the chances we created.

 

[meeesh]

I think he's being a little harsh,comfortable win,yes could have scored a few more,but that's the case every game isn't it ?

Got a very early goal,couldn't ask for more,and won at ease really.no point running them into the ground with what's coming up.

Before the game most would have said a comfortable 3 or 4 -0 win,and that is what happened,if it was after the Newcastle game a few weeks back however,I could understand it more

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Yep, agree with him. He needs to lay down the gauntlet now and challenge these players to win it again....we’ll see how they respond

 

[citymad]

He's probably given them a reminder not to drop their high standards. We need to be on our game by the time we play the rags and scum.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Yeh I don't think it's a bad thing for a manager to throw the odd curve-ball to the players now and again if they have identified an area for improvement or passiveness (if that's the right word?).

It will then be up to the senior pro's (Vincent, Spanish Dave, Serg. etc) to run the dressing room for any of the younger members that may feel a bit aggrieved by it.

Atleast that is how I envisage it for what it's worth..........

 

[Rammyblues]

Good, he is being well paid. I came off the ground Saturday well pleased with what I saw and the result, would I have enjoyed it more if we had scored the easy two chances from Bernardo and Jesus that were missed course I would.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Nothing like scoring goals to boost confidence and making the players hungry to get on the scoresheet. Being ruthless and taking chances defines great teams.

 

[Saddleworth2]

He wasn’t frustrated with chances missed. In his pc he was ‘angry’ with simple passes missed. That was what I took the extra training is about. He clearly doesn’t think we are at the required standard yet.

 

[carlosthejackal]

Might come down to goal difference, when the opportunity to score five or six presents itself then it has to be taken

 

[cleavers]

We need to be a lot more clinical, we should have won by 6 or 7 with the chances we created.

The Fulham keeper made 3 or 4 very good saves, on any other day that is 6 or 7 right there, we can't score with every attack/shot.

We did miss a few easy chances, and we certainly stopped making chances in the last 20 minutes or so, but that was more down to the experiment of having defenders on the wrong side and midfielders at full back, when all our shape disappeared.

I hope Pep cancelled his own day off too, because he was certainly the cause of the last 20 minutes.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Might come down to goal difference, when the opportunity to score five or six presents itself then it has to be taken

Exactly right mate. Boosting our goals for over Liverpool will give us a psychological advantage when they draw and we're on the same points with a superior goal difference.

 

[peoffrey]

It’s a decade since a Premier League club has retained the title. He’s right to demand more each time.
