Pep Guardiola - 2019/20 Performances

[01cravend]

It wasn't a dumb line up, it worked well in the second half. THe problem IMO was the players. Walker just wasn't a wingback...he just kept playing as an extra RB.

When Mahrez replaced Walker as RWB, he was the attacking player we needed there, and the system started working really well.

And then the players let him down. And no matter if they were a bit unused to the system, Walker was absolutely shocking in the first goal, which completely fucked us. Absolutely unforgiveable individual errors, plural.

We changed to 4-2-3-1.... Mahrez wasn't playing right back

You lot are off ya nuts blaming pep.

the players were all horrid Evening in your system for the second half they were crap apart from 15 min spell .

DID PEPS SYSTEM MAKE EDERSON MAKE 3 mistakes , or laporte play like Richard dunne ???

no one thing is on pep is starting dinho , guys finished.

The midfield was a joke. No pace no creativity. And Pep picked it.

Apparently I'm the only Manchester City fan who saw us lose to Arsenal, Southampton, Wolves, Spurs, United, Norwich etc. while playing 433 vs very similar sides to Lyon.

No. Watch again.

We changed when Silva came on. Before that, we still played 532, we just moved Walker to Fernandinho's position RCB and Mahrez played the role Walker was supposed to.

Everyone else was in the same positions. Still a back 3, still Rodrigo and Gundo as the 2 in the middle, stil KDB behind Sterlng and Gabby. Cancelo still LWB.

Just because an attacking player comes on doesn't mean we've changed system.

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Changed our club beyond recognition. Doesn’t mean he doesnt warrant a fucking punch in the face.

Yeah we won the pl in spectacular style but Mancini did, Pellegrini did, you know who else did it? Fucking Ranieri!

The challenge was for Pep to win the UCL! Klopp got to the finals twice with Dortmund!

 

[doobyedoobye]

We lacked intensity in the middle and that was obvious with the line up. Gundogan and Rodri......

It didn't work coz we had too many uncreative players. An idiot could have seen that. And that's on Pep.

Yes. Individual errors compounded by an unfamiliar formation set up by Pep against an average team.

It's fucking Lyon. Play them straight up.

Ok so why didn't he do his job and adapt to players not playing well with tactical changes or subs? Two subs only used when we had game changers like Foden, Bernardo and Mahrez on the bench. No he puts Mahrez on to stop Dinho getting a red card and gives Dave a final run out at 84 minutes.

 

[super_city_si]

Two fucking subs! Two fucking subs!

Needs to self evaluate. Might be too clever for his own good some times. Terrible loss today.
