Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[Dax777]

The fallacy in this statement is the n the pretense he hasn't changed.

He and the team has The team relies heavily on individual brilliance now rather than cohesive quick passing play.

The passing is slower and more deliberate. A change from the quicker pace attacking style of 4-5 years ago

But the most important change has been the lack of ball pressure from the front. We are so pedestrian and disjointed at doing it now

Granted, many teams are better at possession at the back, but we are so poor at breaking up their build ups and recovering the ball.

We are a better defensive team if we press high.

Press high!!!!!

dont think we have the forwards to press high well as we used to.

So he said it doesn’t work without Rodri and he won’t change it.
Clever.

If only we had you as manager...

If only we had you as manager...

Yes. One day. We will be there.

Just wish he would stay for 5 more years.

He is the footballing Donald Francis. King of the Kippax.

You're not wrong in saying we made sloppy mistakes for their goals. The problem is, with the way we play we put ourselves under pressure constantly, we almost encourage it in order for us to get through them and so you cannot expect zero mistakes over 90 minutes.

we pass side to side and give crazy passes to players under intense pressure for very little if any benefit for most of the game and we do it knowing if we lose the ball, which we inevitably will at some point, then we suddenly have a massive problem. It's a needless high risk for no reward.

Agreed, but then why do it?...

 

[nellyonthewing]

I’ve always thought Pep is a bit like Captain Quint in Jaws . After 5 losses he’s got a mad grin as he pushes that throttle to the max as smoke billows out of the team.

What's up with his nose?

Playing a high line in the 90th minute at 3-2 up knowing how fragile and stupid our defending is, it wasn't his fault that it was 3-2, it was purely on Gvardiol's stupidity, but you can't tell your team to just close it down for the last few minutes ? you can't tell them to just drop deep and defend your lead for 5 minutes? no let's keep with this stupid high line that even pub teams can exploit, I don't know what the fuck is happening with him recently, this is not the Pep that I know.

 

[clarion]

Playing with this team with 0 plan at the moment. Changing back 4 was idiotic after 13 goals we conceded.
We need not only to win. We needed clean sheet.

 

[Draikin]

He isn't facing this crisis seriously. Risked way too many first team players against Spurs in a nothing cup game. Many subs tonight not taking into account how fragile we currently are. Insisting on playing a high defensive line when we don't have the energy to press the ball carrier

 

[Gabriel]

Well, that rather knocks the idea of only bringing the youngsters on when we’ve got a three-goal lead into a cocked hat. They weren’t to blame either!
