Pep Guardiola - 2020/21 Performances

[Larry Stranger]

The Foden pen is one thing for sure that annoyed him, but seeing how he's such a perfectionist he is also looking at our own form. In an interview he talks about what he wants to stop is our mistakes in our own half. How West Ham scored from a throw in. How the rags got a pen from a throw in. How Walker gave it away cheaply against Southampton and that action lead to a corner and a pen. He knows how those actions are preventable and the players need to do better as a whole.

He also talks about giving thanks to the individual quality of our players like Mahrez. One of Mahrez's goal came from Southampton giving it away and both goals quality, but to me this eludes to our players not doing the right thing in attack as well that would lead to a typical City goal. You can't always rely on spectacular goals and you want patterns of play that lead to tap ins as well. Individual quality goals should be the cherry on top.

Even though we are good in the PL, seeing how it's the crunch time of the season these things could cost us in the CL or even LC game against Spurs.

Maybe as simple as impressed in training?

I don't know, it's bizarre. I'm of the opinion we should be seeing some of Mendy because all it takes is someone's wife to get covid and 1/3 of the squad could be forced into quarantine. Everyone has to be match fit.

But Pep obviously doesn't think so, Mendy was an unused sub for 16 straight league games before his cameo on Wednesday.

So why give him a run out and then immediately go on a post match rant about how he's not rotating players any more?

You make a good point,but i'm not sure even the best psychiatrists in the world could unravel the workings of Peps mind!

If I was a betting man I’d say his falling out was with Cancelo, don’t forget Pep had to hook him after 60 mins in the derby cos his head had gone. Fits with Mendy getting the run out too.

Steady on! I’m sure these things happen a lot in dressing rooms, and will have been sorted out by now.

If it was Garcia, then I doubt anyone but Pep will care.

I wonder if it was Cancelo or Zinchenko....something mad must have happened for Pep to give Mendy a run out.

Mendy’s cameo was odd, but not related as far as I know. I originally assumed it might be getting him enough appearances to qualify for a medal, but think he’s already met that criteria.

I assume you know exactly who the falling out was with, lol. Don’t expect you to do anything other than deny though....

Ha, I know who I was told the falling out was with. I fully trust the person who told me about it, but can’t guarantee if it’s definitely true though. Only mentioned it to add some context as to why Guardiola might have been so tetchy after the game on Wednesday.

Clearly something wasn’t ok my daughter passed comment on every time the camera shown him on the touch line he was spitting a lot . After rewinding she was correct he definitely wasn’t himself.
