Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

wonder if he is asked about Liverpool spending in the presser in the coming weeks will he say something again along the lines "not true, its only City spending these amounts".
:)

or he does a reverse Klopp:D

Nope, no need to do all of that, everyone knows, they just wouldn't admit it. Instead he should pile all the fucking pressure on them, talk about them being the best team now and how expectations are high with all the money they have spent, how unforgiving the league is and Wirtz being the most expensive footballer in the world and how the PL is excited to have "one of the best footballer in the world" here, throw in how we would struggle to keep up with them and how you expect teams to roll over for them.

Let's get the likes of Newcastle, Nottingham and Crystal Palace fired up, give them a reason to go against the narrative that we set.

Why could it be the last we see of him?

Just readying myself for the inevitable.

if this is how we play after the season we had - GOOD NIGHT.

can def see it happening though.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Can't explain this feeling I have that this is his last season.

All the new young signings being possibly loaned out makes me think they were all bought with the new guy in mind who may already be locked in as Pep was when Pelligrini announced he was going.

Could be wrong.

But if he is I would fancy us doing another treble as his swansong.

Fuck that

 

[Damanino]

Pep will spend long minutes in each presser apologizing to his players of not selecting them if he wants to keep everybody in the end...

will be interesting vs Palermo as he may opt for 11 players first half, then 11 different players second half and that still leaves 5/6 players not getting onto the pitch.

I would be furious with that. I would only have Ederson, Ait Nouri, Reijnders and Haaland in my 11. I think you are 100% right, though.

Get used to it, can see the dynamic due linking up together a lot just to provide some control in the middle…

 

[KDB4ever]

Holy shit if true

Perfect time for selling

So who's leaving then? No wonder why we can't offload players like liverpool or chelsea did this summer, cause we just hold all the uncs until they have no market value.

Nah, Pep will hang on to him until he's worthless and past it... and even when he is past it Pep will still keep playing him.

It almost certainly will be.

We won't win the big honours, pressure will mount, the charges will add to all of that.

All in all, an environment he probably needs to step away from.

Or we have a young exciting energetic squad challenging maybe winning the league that he want's to develop over the next 2 years, and leave for the next manager. Nothing is certain, reckon mines more likely than yours though.

It happens, your feel for a place changes, the players he loved leave, staff, his Mrs, club moving in another direction.

Its the same club you love, but it just doesn't quite feel right.

I think we all realise that this squad isn't good enough to replicate what we have done, but he will still face the same expectation.

I wan him to go on a real high, so fingers crossed we do something good somehow.

I see what you are doing but excluding Gvardiol is a step too far. The rest, while absurd, wouldn't shock me.
