Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

[iTyler]

No thanks, Luis Enrique for me.

But will he want to leave PSG?

 

[King Jay]

Ake and Lewis should be nowhere near the starting eleven starting next week. The CB should be Khusanov, alleyne and Guehi. We have two LB. If we need a RB put Khusanov at that position. Ake time is over

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Thank him for his services and bring in Klopp. Beg him if you have to.

Can’t believe what I’m reading - Klopp

I think Ljinders has given us a boost this season. I am now convinced Pep has been holding us back. Slow, turgid outdated shite football. You cant fucking accept something like this

 

[Brad mcfc]

Its time.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Peps won so much for us I don't want to agree with you but I do, think he should've gone with Txiki, let Viana and a new manager build a team

We just repeated the same mistake we made in 2023 with key players being kept, instead of being ruthless and rebuilding.

 

[Jag]

For all that I love about him he has just never understood the derby and what it means.

Reminds me of Wenger towards the end. The odd good game but overall it was evident that football had passed him by.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

This has been coming; we get counterattacked far too often. The games we win are because of individual quality. He is still trying to play slow build-up football, which does not suit most of our players.

 

[dhruvblue]

Carrick doing this to him will hurt his ego badly. hope there is a reaction that will help to change us tactically. no doubt he will say how wonderful players rags have tho which will be hard to swallow.
then they lose 3-0 to Arsenal next week.

And arsenal
Might not even break sweat beating them

 

[Paul1970]

Embarrassing. Michael Carrick has just done him tactically.

He’s so fucking rigid with his tactics, no flexibility whatsoever and it shows.

Manager after manager have done him this season. And poor managers at that. Carrick today. The Chelsea academy manager a few weeks ago. Ridiculous.

I’ll get shit for this but there’s a valid argument that it’s time to go but I don’t think that’ll happen. Rightly or wrongly.

You shouldn’t get shit for. It mate as it’s a valid question

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

what were our problems? A weak midfield? Wingers doing jack all? No pace? No creativity? All stems from his instructions or the players that he picked. Foden and Lewis in midfield meant Semenyo had to hold width and couldn’t play his game, hence no creativity. Ake slow as flip hence our midfield was all over the place to cover. No pace - comes back to Ake and Lewis. Totally crap decisions all round in the last four league games.

People like you refuse to criticize our signings and will put it all at the academy players' feet for whatever reason. Semenyo got the ball plenty of time on his feet out wide and did fuck all with it. The same goes for Doku. 'Players make plays' is the saying, isn't it? Well, no one made plays today.

No idea what that setup was. Exciting stacking wingers told not to take their man on or out crosses in. Playing over 55 walking football and hoping for the best.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

You telling me a different manager couldnt do better with the backing hes had?

 

[meeesh]

For all that I love about him he has just never understood the derby and what it means.

And this since he first arrived here, so much respect is shown everytime, I thought he’d grasped it a little last season but I was wrong

 

[clarion]

Overthinking masterclass.

 

[Blue2202]

I can already hear it 'We played really really well...Rico was outstanding in the pockets'

9 points dropped in 4 games, league over and that was absolutely fucking shameful. A total disgrace.

Time to earn your coin the next month pep or we wont be making the CL next year. Beginning to think his time has run its course.

I've been a huge defender of Lewis, as a midfielder he'd be ok, but he can never play him at RB again. However, whilst he was shit, it's the tactics that are the problem. We caused a team that is more open than any other team bar wolves no problems. Because we were so fucking slow. And that is all on the manager.

 

[Andouble]

Really poor season by his standards.
