Yes did you read it ? We completely crumbled at 0-1 he’s saying we didn’t crumble until it went to 4 ?

Hit the bar during that period when it was 2-0 and kev had provided a little bright period too. So it wasn't a complete shit show. And Pep doesn't reallly attack his players in public. He has to pick them up and motivate them somehow.

Yup, we had our chances mate. Worrying thing is that when teams attack us it's as if we don't have any way of defending or stopping a shot from going in.

I love you pep and always will but some deluded comments coming from his presser today Pep Guardiola: “When you lose 0-4, all the comments are you miss this, miss that, miss this... But I don’t have the feeling at 0-1 we reacted really bad, or at 0-3. We had our best moments until we conceded for 0-4. The team was good...". Was he watching a different game ?

Love having Pep as a manager but he talks utter bollox much of the time. (And I should know!) Mostly trite stuff, mumbled in pidgin English. Looks like he’d rather be somewhere else - maybe the dentist’s. I stopped listening to his pressers years ago.

Give me Colin Wanker for post-match comment every time!

Sean Dyche needs a stint in the chair, to be fair since Bobby Mancs "Eeez important" we have had Peligrini who just stood there in interviews looking good and smiling :)

If you are still listening to Pep after a defeat after 8 years and expecting critical insight, that's on you not him.
 
One of the benefits of having the same system at all levels was that young players would be able to rise up into the first team and play. They may find the intensity and physicality challenging, but they would instinctively understand the system and patterns on the pitch, meaning their technique would help them adjust and settle. Now, however, we appear to be trying new formations and changing systems off the cuff, with little preparation. That means we have to rely on the senior players even more, as it would add another layer of difficulty to the youngsters.
 
His words aren't very encouraging. Granted, what he says and what he actually thinks may very well be different and often are but if he's telling the truth he doesn't seem to think there's a massive problem with the setup which is a major concern and him saying he has to play players out of position isn't encouraging either. He doesn't have to when he knows it's not working, it's his job to change things and find a different way that does work.

I think he does know there's a problem with the set-up but that the problem is being exacerbated by unprecedented bad luck with injuries.

An acceptable excuse against Brighton when we're having an 18 year old debutant starting but against Spurs we had a strong team out, we were missing rodri, kovacic and Dias, they had Romero, Van de ven and bentancur unavailable, as well as a few more. That excuse isn't valid for that.

You could physically see the confidence drain out of the team when Maddison scored the first. We looked a little brighter when De Bruyne came on but the damage was done.
 
I dont think he will change the system at all. We have always played a very high risk game with possession. Looking back on the goals, they all came from stupid turn overs, sloppy passes, sloppy mistakes. If we play normally we keep possession and the system works. I dont know how to eradicate the sloppyness. Hopefully Pep does.
 
Find it amusing that in the conference he stoutly defends the age of his players, so many being near or over 30, then later in the same conference admits that players are at their best from 24-27. :-)

I am getting the vibe that some wished he hadnt signed a new contract , pathetic kneejerking to a bad run after four titles . This was always going to happen after the last few seasons

Stop making shit up, not a single person has said that.
 
Based on everything he's been saying lately and how we've been playing all season, he look like he has no clue how to pull the team of the shithole they find themselves in.
