Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

I have no problem posters criticising Pep, but some of the comments are out of order. Yes he is stubborn, he makes mistakes and his team selections are questionable sometimes, but comments like obtuse are ridiculous

Don’t we all support Manchester City and don’t we all want what’s best for Manchester City because sometimes I feel that pep is bigger than Man City and we are lucky to have him and yes he has won the lot with us but he has also been given ridiculous amounts of money aswell and been Given more freedom than any other manager out there .

Tbh I'm not fussed how they play, they're 9 points clear as it stands and the way we're playing there's no chance we catch them. We've spent a fortune on players over the last 18 months and it's still slow, boring and sideways football. There's no urgency in this team, our press has gone to shit and one long ball over the top and we're screwed. If Pep can fix it I'm happy if he stays, but this has been going on a while and it needs looking at.
 
Wanna know what happens when your best players get old and you don't have Pep as manager? Take a look at Liverpool.

Wanna know what happens when you buy random players without a plan or for a particular style and you don't have Pep as manager? Take a look at Spurs.

The Pep Out idiots need to be careful what they wish for.

So you agree we spent loads of money? That means we have a lot of new players trying to settle into a new club a club who have to win every game! You saying they should be up to speed straight away?

Arsenals core players have settled into there club over 3/6 years! Now they look like getting over the line because we are not ready yet! You not going to give our players and pep the time! You want pep gone player gone start again!? Make it make sense..

I've already stated how frustrated I am with our current style of play, criticised Pep for it and want the same change we all do.

I'm just realistic in the notion that ending Pep's tenure as manager will not automatically see a return to winning and dominating as we did under him. Some Blues are of the genuine notion that Fourmidables, Centurions and Treble Winners will return once Pep goes. I, and others, are simply pointing out that that ain't gonna happen, and they should be mentally prepared for it!

You see, I’m not equating it directly to winning and dominating, I just want a change pure and simple. Not arsed. I want to enjoy watching us play again.

Arsenal look like having a free run at the league, it was in our hands a couple of weeks ago, the football is shit to watch, no entertainment, no penatration. I fucking love pep but its city first, I thought when linders came along we'd play a little deeper and give the likes of haaland, doku etc space to run into at pace and clean up.
Not sure why that hasn't happened and no one looks happy at the moment but hey ho.
Not arsed either way now but it's all looking a bit stale, I'd love nothing more than pep changing his style and just throwing the kitchen sink at it but I think we all know it's not going to happen.
Happy to be proved wrong...

So if you see good football and we finish midtable you be happy

In theory yes, however what you don’t factor in with that comment is that a squad of our value with the owner we have, if they are playing decent football it’s highly unlikely we’d be mid-table.

But yeah, I spend a fuck of a lot of money following City and in the vast majority of games over the last couple of seasons our football had been fucking turgid. So I look forward to the opposition maybe altering their style against us as we no longer have Pep playing his slow slow tippy tappy system.

Find it mad you rather not win if the football is entertaining! Have to say not one team in this league is entertaining to watch this season!

And so it descends into another , if you don't salivate and clap in a Pavlovian manner, youre not a true supporter.
Someone even getting besides themselves at the word obtuse.
What is the editorial line? Is criticism allowed, discouraged or prohibited?

It’s out of control.

No mate, I think you're misunderstanding me, it's the style of football for me, not arsed if we win fuck all, but the quality and pace of our attack is being stiffled by the constant need for control of the ball (in my opinion).
As I said peps my hero, and will always have nothing but respect for the mad little fucker but right now it's not working and we've looked fragile predictable and easy tho play against for a good couple of seasons.
Footballs cyclical.

I think it’s a mixture of the two mate tbh, we will unlikely ever be shite but I reckon a decent top level manager might get a better tune out of this squad. Who knows, maybe the team know he’s going soon, and consequently they aren’t buying into his ideas as much as they used to now. None of us know, but there’s something not right. I’m just not scared of the next chapter, I think that’s where I’m coming from, hence my issue with people who say be careful what you wish for, it’s a game ffs, not the end of the world.

Ours have got old too or left. Happens ever club. The rot started when Bielsa convinced Pep that Phillips was the player we needed.
The replacements and be under no illusion Pep has had a major role in signing them haven't cut it.
