Pep Guardiola - 2024/25

[LaraQ]

I'll ask this again:

Has anybody seen Peps mate around recently? The ex water polo bloke.

I haven't seen him lately and was wondering if he's still around Pep.

Yes He's still around.

 

[JewelZee]

What we thought was just him sliding around in his underpants in the dressing room was actually a highly sophisticated tactical demonstration.

We’re nothing without him.

You just gave me a great laugh!

 

[Barcon]

Yes He's still around.

Thanks

Hahaha. Great post, mate.

 

[meeesh]

He can think and says whatever he wants the fucking arsehole, another who knows fuck all unless it's Madrid news that ****.

"By the way, he appeared with a beard less trimmed than usual, almost as if he is so busy looking for solutions that he cant care at all about his appearance"

If this poor run continues, he's going to look like Gandalf.

Didn't Pep say in an interview recently he wont manage another team as he couldn't go to a new team and start all over again, well, thats exactly what hes gonna have to do here so hopefully he finds the energy. Were kind of in a bit of limbo because this rebuild is going to take more than 2 years

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Back the boss he needs our support (and he's earned it)

That's his friend explaining the problems..

And listen to the part @ 20:10 (and be prepared from a lump in your throat)

He is not his friend , he reported on him in spain but has had no contact with him since pep came here , he dines out on his pep in spain time, this is his opinion nothing more

Ok.. but just listen.. this is not someone who has an agenda against Pep like the 200 million you read/ hear on TV.

Explains why he left Barca which many have theorized but never knew but why it might be different @ City!

Thanks

You are Dr Zhivago and I claim my 50 roubles.

Stefan Ortega on Pep Guardiola: "He doesn't like losing, but he is very willing to find a solution. Nobody can tell me that the coach who previously dominated all of England is suddenly too bad.
"Perhaps he's looking for a solution a little more obsessively. He's still close to being perfect all the time. I find him quite positive. He's really good to us. Also the charisma he has and support he gives us..."
Stefan Ortega on ManCity's ongoing run of poor form: "If you get through this as a team and a club and pick yourself up as a team - also for yourself personally - it might even be worth a little more in the end than another title..."

O like Ortega's mentality

O like it too

Maybe it's time to have a conversation about how he's handled youngsters at the club the last year.

Simpson Pusey - thrown out against sporting with the most in form striker in the world for his debut, then thrown out against Brighton, and then never seen again

Bobb - scores winner against Newcastle at saint James park in the final minute with a brilliant individual skill, basically doesn't get a single appearance till the end of the season

Rico Lewis - played in about 10 different roles that he cannot execute, gets left to be blamed for being inevitably out of position until his confidence is totally shut

Micah Hamilton - scores and gets motm on his debut, doesn't get a single minute after that and shipped to boro

Cole Palmer - one of the world's best talents doesn't get a chance in his natural position, played on the left wing (?) and chooses to leave for peanuts, now we're vying for a player in his position

McAtee - after 2 successful loan spells gets brought back and doesn't even get a single chance to show what he's got even during a big injury crisis when everyone is playing like shit

Not even mentioning the likes of delap, lavia and Morgan Rogers who didn't get a chance and are now flureshing

Yes, you can say these players didn't show enough in city colours to impress, but it's also a managers job to set them up for success, to have a career path for them to succeed at city, and he inevitably cannot get the best out for them. That's a point he needs to improve on.

There has definitely been an opportunity to add more youth to the first team this year with a clear narrative as to why we may have to change our expectations in terms of silverware, therefore removing some of the pressure on the team..
