Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

[01cravend]

Bring Stones on next to Nico G..As no-one else is available.. Fine
Bring him on in his place to play next to Bernardo and The Dutch Ghost is just fucking moronic

 

[Great Kompany]

Honestly I just don't get it. We are going through some motions that I have not seen in this club for last 7 years. I love this man to bits and whenever in the last 18 months I think he has find a solution, the team fucks it up again.

 

[lol yank]

I'll say it again, his game management is absolute sunday league level these days, complete nobodies on this site could've told you putting Stones for Nico was madness and gave us even less control but he did anyway, it's just not normal what goes through his mind sometimes, and it's getting more and more ridiculous these days.

But he’s won a lot so who is anyone to question what he does now

 

[Ryan.98.]

Goodness me.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

We have no backup for Nico. He's playing every single game. Are people seriously complaining that he brought him off when 3 goals up with less than half an hour to play?

That collapse, like Leeds, wasn't about tactics, structure, selection. This squad has a mentality issue and it won't be fixed overnight.

 

[MCFC1993]

Subs weren't great but the squad is a mess at the moment, barely anyone reliable on that bench.

What’s going through his mind is probably that Nico already looks knackered and overplayed and this is our first of 6 games in 18 days.

Nico had to come off and IIRC were 5-1 up when stones started warming up.

Dreary me

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Badly coached team, his teams always had more possession. Bailed out by Foden in both games . His loyalty to Bernardo and Savio will cost him

The goals we conceded while Nico was on the pitch were no more stupid than the ones we conceded while he was on it.

The only difference was our belief shrinking and Fulham's growing.

The lack of concentration is astounding from some senior players.

Nico has played a shit load of football and we play again on Saturday.

 

[madloaf]

The only good thing from this match is the moment he shifted OReilly to midfield!!!!

In the fuckin 85 minute

And the 5 goals away from home.

He could've benched him against Leverkusen when he benched everyone except him, he should've scrapped that sub when Fulham scored their second and it was obvious they weren't giving up, or at least wait a bit until 75 minutes like he usually does and get him off.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

When you’re up five to fucking 1, the players HAVE to take responsibility and see it out, away or fucking not, but my God, I adore him but Pep absolutely shit his pants, too.

Why is Bernardo playing that whole game? Why is our only DCM coming off for a CB in Stones who hasn’t played in weeks? Why is Bobb, who can actually handle himself under pressure and not lose the ball, not even making the bench? Why not take off Haaland for Marmoush, who is fresh and can help us press?

He completely froze out there.

Nico obviously couldn’t continue. There’s no other midfield option on the bench unless you want Rico Lewis playing DM?

 

[Damanino]

Kolo, Lijnders, Pep

does any of them have defensive instructions? what could those be? SORT IT OUT.

big problem we look fucked fitness wise. especially in last 30 mins of games.

 

[Gorbachev]

I want it to work out, but this season is starting to have hallmarks of Pellegrini's last season.

The team is just a mess defensively and cannot control games at all.

 

[TonyBookEnd]

The usual suspects frothing at the mouth

Hopefully it cost him his job.

 

[Goldust]

Has he gone soft ? Never would he have carried some of the work shy players in the past ie Doku, Savinhio.
