Pep Guardiola - 2019/20 Performances

[Tugay One Cup]

Pep leaving would be a huge backwards step for our club, no ifs or buts, huge.

But he is going to leave. Life goes on.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola speaking with BBC Match of the Day: “If I would find the solution I would try to work on that. It would be a mistake not to let them [the City players] feel incredible and fantastic after that game, football is sometimes like this.

“I have no regrets about the performance. We lost a football match. Football is about how many goals you score and how many you concede. Of course we had a lot of chances. At the end of the day you have to take it."

On the decision to let Ilkay Gundogan, not Sergio Aguero, take the penalty: “They decide."

Did it affect the way they played after that?: "No. If we score it would be better, maybe but in the second half we started well and created chances to score and didn’t do that. Until Oleksandr Zinchenko was sent off, the rest was OK.”




I hope they feel incredible and fantastic after that.

Until the sending off all that was missing was a goal,he doesn't mean they should great about the whole 90 mins,he is also not chucking them under the bus in public,he was 45 mins in the dressing room,a few ears will have been boxed,he is not maureen,he is never going to trash the tem in public

He won’t trash them out of it either.

Damned no matter what Pep does these days.

If he throws the lads under the boss in public (a la Mourinho) we likely have internal issues and plenty on here (rightly, in that case) slag him off for doing so.

If he tries to be positive and supportive of the lads in public, whilst probably absolutely ripping them a new arsehole in the dressing room and then changing things with training/tactics, people come on to say he’s a happy clapper that doesn’t understand the fans and needs to go.

How do you know that?

I mean, all evidence points to the contrary — that he publicly praises them and then privately tells him what he really thinks.

Which, in my opinion, is how it should be done.

I don’t.

But if you could enlighten me as to what points otherwise, i would love to hear it.

Most all reporting of Pep’s methods, including segments of the recent All or Nothing documentary.

Horses for courses.

I looked at the all or nothing doc in the opposite way entirely.

He has not had a great week in a couple of ways and i have been critical but he set them up fine today and the players should have done much better,some fans seem to be begging for some big bust up in public,that is never going to happen so they will be left hanging

I am not sure it’s worth debating then if it is matter of perception of documentation of Pep’s general managerial philosophies and base differences of opinion as to whether public or private criticism is best for the team.
