Just get two players in to make it seem like he tried to change something that's all.Please explain the subs?
I hate to say it but that new bald Dutch guy is really making it seem that way. It's like he's saying to the world "is this the pl you all have been going on about?". He's making it seem so easy and Pep for some reason is getting himself tangled up by invisible ropes all in his head.He is underachieving with the squad we have ,Arsenal front line is very average yet we allowed 5 goals .Even after sacrificing attacking fullbacks for CBs our defense is poor and can't defend corners
Thanks Rudyard .We're fourth, not fourteenth.
If we finish in a CL spot for next season and have a good tilt at the cups that's a good effort for a transition season.
We'll be right back at it next season with a couple of good signings.
It wouldn't have mattered anyway even if we didn't gift them the first goal, we always collapse in the second half of games against decent teams because the physical levels are absolutely atrocious, any team that plays with some intensity will destroy us because that's where the squad is with Gundo, Kovacic and Silva as our midfielders, add in forwards who don't press like Haaland and Foden and a ridiculous suicide set up and you're asking for trouble, and the fact we didn't buy any midfielders in this window sums up the club's "strategy" in the last two years.I think we were pretty well set up to start the day to be honest. The first goal was an absolute disaster of decision making that we still could have recovered from. I dont know if the second half meltdown is all on Pep. Pep was pretty quick to pull Phil after he stopped trying defensively but I didn't see many options on the bench to cover the other problems on the field.
His man management of our CBs in the wake of Rodri's injury really fucked us for the season. We dropped points rushing Dias, Ake and Stones back only for all of them to get injured again and again. That gamble didn't work out and left us worse off.I understand pep will get the benefit of the doubt from many blues, and he's absolutely earned that, but what the fuck are we doing here Pep?
These are highly paid professionals that make mistake after mistake week after week. It's bordering on criminal at this point.
Correct , and Liverpool also do not have a good DM ,they have endo who is average ,and Gravenbach who was CM converted to DM .I hate to say it but that new bald Dutch guy is really making it seem that way. It's like he's saying to the world "is this the pl you all have been going on about?". He's making it seem so easy and Pep for some reason is getting himself tangled up by invisible ropes all in his head.
If we are going to be honest and I mean this in the most honest way possible, no disrespect to Jack but our standards started slipping the moment we started going after ball hugging players like him. This just didn't start last season, it's been slowly coming for about 3 seasons now, too much sentiment and holding on to players that should have gone a long time ago. Too many freeloadersPeople say it's being ungrateful criticising Pep based on all he's done for us. But those trophies are in the past. It was clear last season that standards were starting to slip but our tenacity & determination got us over the line in the PL.
This season, that's gone. Most players don't look the least bit bothered. I'm not at all clear we've done the right thing with that 2-year extension. We need a clear-out and shake up.
He looks slow on YouTube , not sure he will improve usYes our injuries have fucked us but he has not helped at all. It's the same style week after week when its clear it's not working. I know he can't help with the stupid mistakes we are making but fuck me this is shocking. Nico is probably not the answer atm but it would be nice to see something different every now and then. We try something and it's looks like it's working and then we never see it again. What the fuck is happening
Terrible thing to say you obviously didn’t watch City years ago when we had really bad playersThe only positive thing happening this season:
Despite everything bad that happens to him and everything he does, Pep Guardiola saw that Rico Lewis is the worst football player ever and sent him to the bench.
