Pep Guardiola - 2020/21 Performances

[ninjamonkey]

The takeaway from this sadly is this final is going to be remembered in many years time as another time Pep went mental and it backfired spectacularly. Just like Lyon. It's in danger of becoming a habit. When was the last time one of these hairbrained ideas worked?

Never. Literally never.

Hardly backs to the wall was it.

perfectly put.

I know this isn’t just on him but sometimes I do wonder what happens in training. Like we have some glaring weaknesses at times and they don’t look remotely like they’re close to being resolved

 

[City10.]

Why can't somebody close to him like Lilo or even Txiki, Ferran or khaldoon just tell him to stop the overthinking bollocks in CL because we all can see it except for Pep himself.

The mad genius strikes again. Love the man to bits but playing Gundo & Phil out of their best position this season was crazy. Having the game pass Kev by until he was exhausted was crazy. Not starting a dm was crazy. Playing sterling was crazy.

We found the winning formula and all he had to do was stick to it but as I say the mad genius was back in town.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Never. Literally never.

Yeah I struggled too. I think I vaguely recalled him doing something bizarre against arsenal one year where I think we played a straight up back 3. Literally just 3 defenders in the side and 6 midfielders and a striker, we won but we got through it despite the tactics rather than it actually working but I think that was a regular league game with not that much riding on it.

there's no obvious recollection of it ever going well in the games that matter when he's done it yet there's an ever increasing number of times it went badly wrong, off the top of my head there's tonight, lyon, spurs, Liverpool(everytime we played them for about 3 seasons) Monaco, arsenal, united(everytime we play them at home)

That many becomes a problem. Especially when he once more fails to take responsibility and admit he got it wrong publicly

 

[argyle]

He fucked the team over.

No excuse for the team, set up and tactics.

It's become a pattern in the big games.

I wouldn't be surprised if many of the players were questioning Peps decision in private with each other.

 

[argyle]

I'm not saying to sack Pep. Just can't get my head round it.

Does anyone else think Klopp would bench Mane or Salah and play someone completely out of form instead? Or if Tuchel had dropped Kante?

Why the fuck does Pep do it?

Pep likes to gamble. If we totally blitzed Chelsea in the first half, with that line up then he would be hailed a genius for that. I didn't agree with his decision but he is one fully in charge of team affairs
