Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

too often we revert to the slow build up which if I'm honest bores me

then why don't you just fuck off.

 

[Blue Bogey]

good day today

City winning a trophy, Pep confirming that he will stay

but 20 trophies in 10 years. averaging a double per season. lol

Pep is averaging one trophy per 30 games during his City tenure.

Another stat is of all trophies won 47 by premier league teams domestically or internationally during Pep’s City rein, Pep has helped City win 42.5% of these.

Remarkable! What a time to be a city fan.

I actually feel Pep will stay until at least next year. I think he will want to oversee the rebuild of this team and I think some of the missing pieces will be got this summer for him to shape. I also think he will like to have another crack at winning Old Big Ears again. Just my thoughts.

Remember when he became our manager and Sorino said we want to average 2 trophies a season and everyone thought that is mad standard! Guess what he has!

Oh and I’ve listened to all pep post press conferences and a few players, plus the parade the co-op event and rushing to get the new stand open! That is enough evidence for me to say he is going and if we dont get the win Tuesday he will announce it then!

Yes . I think now is as good a time as any. He'd be going out on a high , there's a small chance the season might get even better still .If that happens what would there be left for him to achieve her. His legend has long been secured. If he stays it would only be for one more year anyway. There are only the odd glimpses of the exciting football we once played now , too often we revert to the slow build up which if I'm honest bores me . If we are ever to get the best out of Haaland again then we need to change our style which Pep seems to be reluctant to do.
Anyway that's all for another day. Tonight is to celebrate another trophy under him.

Your post seems to suggest that Pep is shite but I will take all of the trophies he's brought . It will never be better when he leaves.

Your bluntness made me laugh then.

He has said that he will see out his contract.

my powers of reasoned argument failed me, haha.

i mean, imagine being bored watching probably the most successful team on the planet right now...


doku one-on-one, everyone's up out of their seats = boring!

haaland scores another hat-trick = seen loads of them, boring!

cup double? = boring!

cherki weaving some sort of unfathomable sorcery = boring!

come back stuart pearce, all is forgiven !

Never have I said that anywhere. He's been fantastic and the trophy haul will never be repeated. I just believe it's time for
a change.

You'll get abuse but you are correct on all of that imo.

Now is the time to celebrate.

Pep deserves great praise and appreciation.

Our football at times is not good.

Pep needs to fix our tactics/style of play/mentality or whatever it is ... somehow.

If he can't hopefully someone else can.

Trophies are great but trophies plus genuinely impressive play is ideal.

There is no evidence at all that he is leaving this summer, he could I suppose, but evidence none at all.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

If Pep was leaving at the end of the season then we would know the identity of his successor by now

Otherwise everything drifts and the preferred candidate gets sick of waiting

Just look at Liverpool and their assumption that Alonso would go to Anfield

Entitled to your opinion but mentality can surely not be called into question. We've dragged ourselves into the last week of a title race we didn't really have any business being in, won two cups and are currently on a run of 9 wins in 10 including two finals, all while integrating lots of new players. imo the mentality to compete has been top and it's this that I think we'll miss most of all when he does go.

 

[Paul lakes knee]

Watching Sunday Supplement and they are all saying the same thing...Pep only said he has a contract, not that he will be be at City next season and that he doesnt want to announce it until the league is beyond us. The BBC lady asked him "Do you reckon you will be here next season?" Pep "Yeah"
What am I missing here? In essence they are saying Pep is lying no?

 

[ashleycaulcott1]

Didn't signing an extension in 24 have some contribution to his divorce? The guy has earn’t the right to go when he pleases. It’s been one hell of a journey.

Think a problem for most is they fear what comes next hence why they want communication that confirms one way or another.

 

[freshie]

We didn't get any better with Cherki coming on for Marmoush, in fact we were worse and we couldn't keep the ball in the first 20 minutes of the second half , only when Kova came on did we control the game.

Marmoush had 10 touches in that first half. We were playing with 10 men

Tbf I think a lot of the actual football has become boring. Not because of Pep or City but because of so many teams willingness to park the bus as well as the refereeing of the game allowing for all the dark arts bullshit. Champions Leagues games nowadays tend to be far more interesting because they're refereed differently.

It's annoying that Pep catches the blame for it though. People will pay however much to sit in the away end at the Etihad while their team plays an 8-2-0 formation and then say Pep has ruined football with a straight face.

Ya I can't put my finger on what is the missing element. I only said mentally because I wonder if there are times when the players just need to go beyond Pep's tactics and step up in terms of creating effective attacks. Cherki seems to have this. Yaya used to.

Whatever it is I hope Pep finds the answer so we get that amazing football back that was a wonder a few years ago.
