Pep Guardiola - 2025/26
- Thread starter Blue_Lightsaber
- Start date
It was utterly embarassing, it was like the Madrid Bernabeu game last season where we looked resigned to our fate from the first minute, except this was a derby against a rubbish rags side and not Madrid at the Bernabeu, absolutely baffling mentality today, and we've got the dippers at Anfield soon, and you can bet we'll have the same mentality again.United won’t have an easier game all season.
A couple of short passes in midfield and we’re wide open at the back. Every week. And there’s no sign of it changing.
It was like Mourinho in the 5-0 Clasico loss hiding in the bench resigned to his fate, except he was facing probably the best team in history, not the fucking rags.Exactly what you want to see as a player looking to your manager for guidance at 2-0 down away in a derby.

I just don’t know what he was thinking today, if he was thinking at all. Pathetic setup. Arrogant and/or careless. Fucking awful again.
We have absolutely nothing to offer beyond his ideal and it doesn’t work anymore.

Meanwhile he’s sitting in the stands. He’s lost any self and situational awareness. Move the fuck on
“The derby is energy.”
Mate then explain the casual perspective you take going into these games! You’re trying to keep up with Arsenal and managing Manchester City at Old Trafford, energy should be fucking assumed.

Actually today’s game was very similar to last season at Anfield.It was utterly embarassing, it was like the Madrid Bernabeu game last season where we looked resigned to our fate from the first minute, except this was a derby against a rubbish rags side and not Madrid at the Bernabeu, absolutely baffling mentality today, and we've got the dippers at Anfield soon, and you can bet we'll have the same mentality again.
That we’re still churning out shit performances like that, after all the money spent, is deeply worrying.

You have two of the top 3 scorers in the league and you don't create a single chance all game, and that's what you come up with.
They have no chance against Arsenal
Dunno, Arsenal have performed poorly since November despite getting results
Yeah but that dipper team won the league and was miles better than this rags team, and Anfield is a far tougher place to go than the swamp.Actually today’s game was very similar to last season at Anfield.

I just can't comprehend the performance today, did we give everything against Newcastle and had nothing left in the tank today ? well if that's the case how the fuck do you prioritize a League Cup first leg tie where you still have a second leg at home over a league game where dropping points means you're virtually out of the title race ? baffling.

It’s not just the selections. The football is fucking shite. Still tippy tapping it on the edge of a packed box. It’s been shite for two years now and doesn’t look like changing.
Pep will point to the defenders missing after that game but let's be honest here - we created nothing, not one really good chance against a team on the knife edge confidence wise - with the front players we have that has to be a system failure. We all thought Rodri would cover the usual holes but in the first half we got nothing from Phil, Bernie or an inverted Lewis - all of them not once released any of our attackers early or covered when they lost the ball - tells me the balance of the side was all wrong.
I also think taking Max off instead of Ake was an insult to what had gone on in that half. The lad was left to dry by one of the worst pair of fullbacks I think I've ever seen at the top level. Yet Ake because of his past is left on to get even worse when he moved into the middle.
To also say we lost because of lack of energy is a little insulting to the fans - no matter who plays, any player should look at his opposite number and say I'm going to be better than you today - not one of them did that and that is a worry for some of the big CL games to come.

Exactly, you can lose football matches, but I thought we were done with the lifeless slow crap performances that we saw last season, but he can't get rid of them.It’s not just the selections.

that performance was criminal and he needs to get this sorted or step aside .Thin ice

Khaldoon should give Xabi Alonso a call before he sleeps tonight.

It’s because that’s who he is now. The issue and answer is staring us all directly in the faceExactly, you can lose football matches, but I thought we were done with the lifeless slow crap performances that we saw last season, but he can't get rid of them.

No fight, no hunger, no pride AND it's a derby? What the fck do they talk about?
A lot to answer to today. Already lost Nunes through illness and then decides to not play his other regular excellent fullback at the expense of Ake the Donkey. Then decides to keep Ake on a HT and things get worse. What the fuck was said at HT. Nothing changes with either of our wingers against yellowed fullbacks and no further sense of urgency throughout was shown.
Pathetic delivery from set pieces to, undoing all the positives we have seen from them in the past 6 weeks.
Absolutely embarrassment to him and the team but more importantly to us the fans.
